I’ve watched it go from expensive “Amway” type sales:

To mainstream:

Haven’t researched the specific health benefits...antioxidant??

I use it. It’s a little rough for a day or two because it gets things moving, if you know what I mean, but I feel good when I take it. It’s supposed to be a great antioxidant and the only supplement I take. I take the 500mg and got mine at Wal-Mart. It’s the Spring Valley brand. No bad side effects for me.

I think it’s BS. I do not think it is worth the hype and cost. There are cheaper organic fresh fruits that are just as good.

Subsitute ‘GOJI’ for ‘ACAI’ and roll the calendar back a year or two and you’ve got the very same frenzied marketing BS going on.

I tried the Goji juice during it’s 14-1/2 minutes of fame and it tastes good, no harm done, slight energy boost but you can get the same effect from a decent cup o’ coffee, and for about $50 bucks cheaper a bottle.

I tried the free offer, cautiously because of my high bp. Didn't lose any weight. It's main effect seemed to be to totally stop anything from moving through my intestines. Not good. But my issues are metabolism related, not what I eat.

Save your money and drink 8-10 oz of cranberry juice daily.

The stuff makes you feel slightly nauseous and that lingering semi-nausea destroys any appetite you may have.

Pitiful extreme to go to just to lose some weight.
