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

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.
Save your money and drink 8-10 oz of cranberry juice daily.
Pitiful extreme to go to just to lose some weight.
