MonaVie’s Wellmune is Cheaply Available |
10 Comments |
Most people aren’t aware of what Wellmune is. It’s a registered trademark from Biothera that (as far as I can tell from the information on Wellmune’s website) is another name for WGP 3-6. I have to admit that Wellmune is a lot more marketable than WGP 3-6. If you search Google for WGP 3-6, you’ll find a lot of information on it. I found this history on Terranaturals. I would normally refer to more legit source, but the fact is that at this time, there’s no information on Wikipedia on Wellmune or WGP 3-6. The only article on Pubmed is is about the toxicity of WGP 3-6 – nothing about the effectiveness of it. Anyway, on to the history:
“WGP® 3-6 is a patented ingredient that contains beta 1,3/1,6 glucan (gluco polysaccharide, a complex carbohydrate purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker’s yeast) that has been widely recognized since the 1960s as an immune enhancer with clinically useful antitumor, hematopoietic and anti-infective properties.”
So it looks like WGP 3-6 (effectively Wellmune) is really something that’s been around for quite some time. That being the case, you might expect to find it fairly cheaply. I used Google’s Product Search (click here to search for WGP 3-6) to find 60 pills of WGP 3-6 at 250 mg strength for less than $20. I believe this is the amount used in most clinical studies. (Request to readers: Does MonaVie document how much Wellmune is in M(mun)?)
If it is determined that Wellmune is helpful, then the smart consumer doesn’t buy it in $45 bottles of MonaVie that last 1 week. The smart consumer buys 2 months of it for less than half price.

classic monavie attack, when you talk about success its a very vast subject, and in your case it does not mean it is helping people. As for this site i would say it is successful in helping people determine the facts that monavie posts including half truths and whole lies, why are you so bent hiding the truth?? why would you call in question someone’s life that is trying to help others including yourself from scamming from people? sure if someone has the money and wants it good, but even if you were just selling to the people who had the money there is no reason to lie or to impress false truths onto others thats just wrong. Not saying you do that but if you take some time to read through this forum like i have you will see many people come around here and think they know about monavie just to prove how little they know. Now if i was going to be in a true monavie mockery fashion i would end this in something like do you believe in god and do you do onto others and you would like done onto you? and question your integrity with the lord for thou have sinned the soil and lied to man for the almighty dollar thou shall be smitten. sorry i went on a little rant but its funny how personal insults are supposed to be taken seriously online, come on man do some research and come back with some valid points!!

I am posting this comment from a well established participant on Lazy Man’s Blog site regarding MonaVie becasue I feel it is very relevant to the conversation here.:

I am writing from the Rome GA area. I was invited to a Monavie meeting to get suckered and did. When they give you the pitch of getting a free bottle to try, and buy another to get in your system; it is their way of getting you in the system so you will get auto ship. We received 2 boxes and didn’t know what to do with it, didn’t want it, too expensive!! I left messages to the up line host that we didn’t want it, and wanted to stop the shipments.. They don’t tell you to keep you trapped in the system.. My husband had been very ill all year with pressure sores, being spinal injury, and had 2 surgery’s in and out of the hospital with hospital bills and medical bills that are killing us.
Tom Watson, whom was the Mona vie host of a friend that wanted me to try it. Tom said try this free bottle and then buy a case see how you like it to see how it does for my husband and I. After I gave the trial information they needed for getting the free shipment, that they said our information would not be used unless i order auto shipment. Well guess what? With my husband in Alt in the hospital for 2 months we recieved two auto shipments that we did not want. We asked him to come to our home, and to get our money returned, he sat at our kitchen table looked us in the eye sincerely, and lied to my husband and I by telling us strait in the face, Don’t worry!! I will take care of all this, and take it off your hands!!!!! That was this summer and we still have not been able to get rid of it. We have called him, emailed him, and asked him to call through my friends brother that thought I would be interested in this juice, and nothing!! We need the money in a bad way in order to go towards hospital, and doctor bills. I am sooo disappointed that this man keeps avoiding us, because he, I assume, is not going to buy it back like he said he would, but was going to check with someone to see if they wanted to buy it off us first… Well, again, haven’t heard from him. Tom was dishonest and lied to us, I have no respect or patience for this, and it is wrong.
My advice to anyone who is thinking of trying this to be careful and DO NOT SIGN ANTHING, or you will get screwed!! I am going to try one more time reaching him, and then we are going to take further legal actions to see that this is not done to others like he has to us. I am not a vindictive woman, but if we can not get this settled EVERYONE in MonaVie thinking of trying it, or is apart of it, WATCH OUT!!!
Telemarketing is nothing more than a SCAM selling products at unreal prices and brain washing you to sell the product. Trust me my husband and I have been suckers for 4 telemarketing program and S_ _ t away money we needed over the years.. Just be careful!!!

Cindy,
The easiest way I can think of to deal with that is to write “Return to Sender” on the shipment (assuming it comes via mail) and let it go back to them. Call your bank or credit card company and ask for a chargeback – it is clearly a scam, so you should have no problem. They should be able to refund you for all of the charges, but that depends on the bank.

Cindy,
I can’t begin to imagine your frustration. IMHO, I would skip the shyster distributor who obviously couldn’t care less about your health, your husband’s health, or your financial situation. I would go straight to MonaVie LLC with a certified letter stating you want to be dropped from autoship, have your distributorship terminated, and that you were misled and flat out lied to by the dsitributor. I would ask for a refund (wouldn’t expect one), and let them know that you’ll be posting this information and MonaVie’s replies to you on every public forum you can find.
I would also go to MonaVie’s FaceBook page:
http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=monavie&init=quick
And MonaVie’s blog page:
http://monaviemediacenter.com/blogs/
And post your situation, with public requests for action on MonaVie’s part to rectify this situation. I would also take screen shots of the pages after you post, and anytime there is activity on the page.
Public humiliation can work wonders.
Good luck.

Found some interesting information on WebMD and RX List regarding beta-glucans (the ingredient in Wellmune WGP):
“The following doses have been studied in scientific research…7.5 grams twice daily beta glucans fiber from yeast added to juice…”
“Do not take more than 15 grams per day by mouth, and do not use it for longer than 8 weeks.”
“The potential side effects of beta glucans, when taken by mouth, are not known. When used by injection, beta glucans can cause chills, fever, pain at the injection site, headache, back and joint pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, high or low blood pressure, flushing, rashes, decreased number of white blood cells, and increased urine. People with AIDS who take beta glucans have developed thickening of the skin of the hands and feet.”
So here are a few relevant quetions:
1. Does the daily Monavie M-mun regimen provide 15 g of beta-glucan?
2. Will Monavie distributors be warning potential customers that the potential side effects of M-mun are unknown.
3. Will Monavie distributors be warning potential customers to not drink M-mun for longer than 8 weeks?
Wow, pretty scary, because what we were told at the meeting was that some of the distributors are taking it more than 2X a day to feel more of the effect, because it is that good! Well, if others knew what the research was all about they would be outraged, and feel the true effects of betrayal with the Multilevel Marketing Hit that not only is dishonest, but not knowledgeable of the health facts and potential dangers before they market it..
This is just another part of Multilevel Marketing by brain washing the people to become part of the family and help everyone; when in actual fact they are doing damage to their potential customers by lying about the product, along with falsely making it. They will make it out that this is the Latest and Greatest Health Revolution to the health industry, and is this God All Mighty Savior; when instead it could be a disaster with the side effects they never knew about because the facts are cut out to sell the product to start a Monopoly Factor by the misleading of the truth!!!
Just know that when a Multilevel Marketing program that sales health products like this, that claims this is such a wonderful cure, and will heal everyone, when they no nothing about the facts, will be taking a huge risk on people lives making them think this is the way to be healthy. This is sooo WRONG putting peoples lives in danger selling something they know nothing about!!
Thanks everyone for the support and advice on how to get our money back. Although, not sure if the bank will do anything since this was all back in the summer. I guess all we can do is give it a try, and see what happens.. Thanks again and good luck with everyone who is getting the truth out about the Monavie SCAM product!!
All the best

Don’t you know that it’s against the law to give MonaVie credit for any medical benefits including saying that someone recovered from cancer due to it.
If you’ve done your homework, you know that MonaVie is only expensive fruit juice with cheap supplements added. It’s not shown to be any different than V8 Fusion Acai Berry, which is about $3 for nearly twice as much as in MonaVie.
