Sunnie,

THANK YOU so much for the information.  We have a Whole Foods in Columbus but not real close to my home.  I will make a call to see if they have in stock before going there.  It really helps to have the brand name so you know what to ask for.  I know that the MonaVie juice is expensive and with all the other suppliements I take, I don't really want to add another $40 per month.  Plus, my husband is interested in taking it as well, so I can double whatever it will cost for 1 person.   You have been very helpful. 

Hi Kim,

Finally got up with my friend today about the Acai.  I asked her about the bottle she got for me, and she said she felt so good while taking it that she started taking my bottle too!  So we went to Whole Foods today to buy more.  There were 3 brands on the shelf.  Two of them said in the fine print that they were made from the extract of the Acai palm, NOT the berry.   Only one bottle (which was the original recommended by the nurse) said it contained Organic Acai from the actual fruit.  A serving size is 2 capsules per day, and the bottle will last a month.  The cost is $23.95 per bottle.  I know the MonaVie juice contains other fruits, and I'm not sure if it contains the Acai from the actual berry or from the palm.  I'm not sure what it lists in the fine print on the bottle.  No one has told me yet.  But that bottle costs $40 and lasts a month.  Personally I will stick with the Acai capsules because I believe the Acai is the most important ingredient, and it is about half the price.  The name brand of the capsules we bought was Sambazon with a green label.  Again, it came from Whole Foods.

Hope this helps.  I will post the same thing on Yvonnes blog, but wanted you to know personally since you asked.  Good luck.

Hi Kim,

I left a message of Yvonne's site (mymartinez), but I will also tell you.  I will let you know as soon as my friend returns about the Acai Berry.  I know she got her information from a nurse who uses it, so it should be reputable.  I wish us all luck in feeling better, and possibly losing weight if we need it.
