Best Overall Product
Vemma Nr. 1
Vemma: Mangosteen based Multi-Vitamin, with Aloe Vera, Green Tea, 65 minerals blend. The suggested serving size of Vemma is 2 ounces (59 ml), 1 time a day. Price: $ 30 for 1 bottle of 32 ounce (946 ml) = $1.88 per day. Scientific Board: Dr.Yibing Wang (M.D., Ph.D), Dr. Robert Verkerk, (Advisor) Dr. John Edwards, (Advisor) Dr. Mehmet Oz (Advisor) Clinical research: https://www.vemma.com/science
Vemma summary: The nr. 1 on health benefits for an average price. Great testimonials, outstanding results on the clinical studies, and other independent studies. Impressive Scientific board – advisors. Marketing could be better. If you are product orientated Vemma could be a great fit. The investment for a 1 year autoship is $686 versus $453 for Tahitian Noni and $1,621 for Monavie.
Tahitian Noni Nr. 2
Tahitian Noni: Super Juice from Noni Pure Juice Puree, Natural Grape Juice, Natural Blueberry Juice Concentrate, and Natural Flavors. The recommended serving size is 1 ounce (30mL) Price: $42 for 1 bottle of 34 ounce (1000 ml) = $1.24 per day. Scientific board: Jarakae Jensen (M.S.) Afa Palu (R.A.) Brett West (B.S.). Clinical research: numerous studies: https://research.tni.com/united_states/english/research/clinical_studies.html
Noni Summary: TNI is putting great efforts in clinical research and is in that field the nr. 1. Noni's problem is on the taste, most people don't like the taste. The marketing is not as superior as Monavie. The price is below average. A great runner up! A lot of value for money. Tahitian Noni International backs their products with more than a dozen peer-reviewed human clinical trials. The investment for a 1 year autoship is $453 versus $686 for Vemma and $1,621 for Monavie.
Monavie Nr. 3
Monavie Active: Acai based Multi Vitamin, 19 Fruits blend. The suggested serving size of MonaVie is 1-2 ounces (30-60) , two times a day. Price: Monavie Active $ 37 per bottle of 25 ounce (739 ml) = $4,44 per day (1,5 ounce – 2 times per day) Scientific Board: Dr. Penny Kris-Etherton (PhD, RD) Dr. Alex Schauss (PhD, FACN) Dr. Stephen T. Talcott (PhD) Dr. Nathan D. Wong (PhD, M.P.H) Clinical Research: 1 study https://www.aibmr.com/
Monavie summary: a great product, great testimonials, the best marketing, but way out of line priced. The price difference for a family (4 persons) between the Nr. 1 Vemma and Monavie is approx. $3,738 a year and we did not even calculated with the recommend 2 ounce servings but with 1,5 ounce. If you are money driven then Monavie might be a good choice, however Monavie's price point is a major challenge.
ZRII Nr. 4
Zrii Amalaki: A juice blend containing White Grape, Pear Puree, Concord Grape, Pomegranate, Cranberry, Raspberry, Lime Juice concentrate. The recommended serving size is 1-3 fl oz per day (We calculated with 2 oz) Price: $30 for 1 bottle of 25 ounce (750 ml). = $2.00 per day. Scientific board: Suhas Kshirsagar BAMS, (M.D.) Thomas Yarema (M.D.) Daniel Rhoda (D.A.S.) Dr. David Simon (M.D.) Clinical research: https://www.zriiproduct.com/science.html
Zrii Summary: A great Superjuice formula. The scientific board is impressive. Clinical research is available. Great product testimonials. The price is above average. $730 for a 1 year autoship.
Exfuze Nr. 5
Exfuze: Pomegranate, Wild Blue Berries, Aloe Vera and Concord Grapes blend. The recommended serving size is 0.75oz per day. Price: $ 35 for 1 bottle of 25,3 ounce (750 ml). = $1.03 per day. Scientific board: Joe Guarnera (DCM) Natalie Vittori (PhD) Marcus E Kuypers (M.D) Gary Booth (PhD) JAMES Jamieson (R.Ph) Clinical research: Not available for the product
Exfuze summary: A value for money superjuice. Impressive Scientific Board, however Lack of scientific research for the product. Exfuze could be a quick riser in the rankings if scientific based research would be available. The lowest priced product. A 1 year autoship is $376
Xango Nr. 6
Xango: Mangosteen based, Superjuice based. The suggested serving size of Xango is 2 ounces (60 ml), 1 time a day. Price: $ 40 for 1 bottle of 25 ounce (739 ml) = $3.20 per day. Scientific Board: ? Clinical research: 1 study https://www.xango.com/science/clinical-trial.
Xango summary: Xango has the benefits of a mangosteen based super juice but can not compete on price or product benefits with Vemma, Noni and Monavie. We could not find a Scientific board. The price point for Xango as a superjuice is way out of line. We doubt if it is still the flagship for the company. Xango is introducing other product groups and maybe suffers from lack of corporate focus. Great Marketing but you are not backup with active researchers. A 1 year autoship is $1,168
SISEL Nr. 7
Sisel Eternity: Resveratrol, Agave, Pomenagrate blend. The recommended serving size is 0.5oz per day Price: $50 for 1 bottle of 17 ounce (500 ml). = $1.47 per day Scientific board:? Clinical research: Not available for the product.
Sisel summary: Sisel owns a 400,000 square foot nutraceutical plant, however we could not find a Scientific board. As with Agel no clinical research for the Eternity product is available. Price is below the average. We are wondering; if you have your own plant why not put more efforts into Clinical research. Lack of Marketing strategy. A 1 year autoship is $537
AGEL Nr. 8
Agel Core – Min: A blend of 12 essential vitamins and up to 75% of 10 essential minerals. The recommended serving size is 1 package of 21 gr. per day. Price: $60 for box of 30 packages (21 gr. each) = $2.00 per day. Scientific board: ? Clinical research: Not available for the product.
Agel summary: Agel is the only liquid multi-vitamin on the shortlist available as a Gel. Lack however of a scientific board and clinical research. Product Testimonials are hard to find. Marketing is a strong point. The Price of a serving is above average. A 1 year autoship is $730.
