[mmomaster2]

does this have any connection to dan browns secret project? If you don't know who dan is, then this wont mean anything to you so you wasted your time reading this.

[IrregularPulse]

As far as Nobody willing to pay $5 for a drink...Are you serious? Ever hear of Starbucks! People are willing to pay over that for a green logo on a cup of coffee, why wouldn't they that pay for a drink that actually benefits them?

[7onyRamon]

coffee VS healthy energy drink

No comments...And by the way Rev3 costs $2.50 US

[MagUalghairg1916]

What is this? Another marketing scam I'm sure.

[autoreboot]

It's not a freakin scam. Why do you say that?

[MagUalghairg1916]

If you pushing unhealthy gabage on the American public, you certainly are. This drink is garbage.

[autoreboot]

According to the can of Rev3 sitting in front of me, the drink contains the following Daily Value amounts:

100% of Vitamin's B1, B2, Niacin, and Biotin

250% of Vitamin B6

15% of Magnesium

10% of Calcium

plus many other minerals and necessary nutrients. This is not your average energy drink. The energy blend contained is made up of 100% natural ingredients that is healthy for the human body. I don't believe that a drink full of vitamins and nutrients is garbage.

[MagUalghairg1916]

Haha... The first thing you should know is that the term "natural" can legally mean *anything* the company wants it to. You do know that young people should be taking Korean Red Gindeng, don't you? It will fry their adrenals. W

[MagUalghairg1916]

[cont] Why don't you tell where I can read the ingrdients. What sugars are they using in it?

[autoreboot]

"Korean Red Ginseng is a nourishing blend of forty-two minerals, essential oils, vitamins, enzymes, and amino acids."

As far as the ingredients, like I said, it's on the side of the Rev3 can. DUH!! Where else would I find it. I just got done drinking a can. My mom sells the drinks.

[MagUalghairg1916]

Then post the ingredients here so I can read them. What suger are they using? What else id in the stuff? No Chinese medicine practitioners *ever* proscribe Red Korean Ginseng (which is lso the cheapest ginseng on the market, imagine that) to anyone under 40, it's to "hot" and will depete the kidney energy if used for a long time.

[autoreboot]

"It has been medically proved that Korean Red gensing improves brain activity and promotes mental stability and is often prescribed as an important part of astronauts diets owing to its remarkable curative and preventive properties.

[autoreboot]

In addition, since Korean Red Ginseng contains three times more ginsenosides than any other varieties of ginseng, it is being considered as an inexhaustible resource of vital nutrients required for a healthy body and mind. Health experts believe that the human body can derive more benefits from ginseng root if it is consumed in a processed form instead of whole or ground form. The medicinal herb Ginseng is mainly used to increase stamina and enhance the immune system of the body.

[MagUalghairg1916]

Smae could be said about coffee and cocaine. Again, for the *third* time, could you post the ingredients (that are written on the side of your can) here so I, and everyone else can read them. Are you embarassed to post them??

[autoreboot]

Why would I be embarrassed about ingredients?

[MagUalghairg1916]

For the *forth* time, could you PLEASE look on the can that's in your hand and type the ingredients that you see printed on it.

[autoreboot]

I just did. Read up!

[autoreboot]

uh, yeah, so, your deal about Korean Ginseng, doesn't really hold water, because, 1. it's made up of healthy ingredients, 2. It's been proven to be good for the body, 3. It can even help cancer treatment, and 4. you can't say much about the ingredients, unless of course you make something up.

[MagUalghairg1916]

So everyone in the world should eat the same things, is that your opinion? *All* foods have the exact same response for *everyone*, no matter their age, race, metabolism, health history, etc., is that what you're saying? That's a great phylosophy, especially if ytou're selling a "product".

[autoreboot]

well it's obvious that if somebody is allergic to anyone of the ingredients that they shouldn't consume the product. DUHH! You aren't using your head.

[MagUalghairg1916]

Do you recommend that everyone in the world to take Red Korean Ginseng, if they're not allergic? Yes, or no?

[autoreboot]

It's completely up to the person. If they want to then by all means, take away.

[MagUalghairg1916]

"Choline Chloride" is a toxin.

[autoreboot]

sorry to burst your bubble,

"Choline Chloride, concentrations of which are found in the tissues of the nervous system, is necessary for brain function, the synthesis of neurotransmitters, and for the building and maintenance of acetylcholine."

Don't just assume, actually use your head and do some research.

[autoreboot]

Choline, by increasing the brains stimulation barriers, lets the brain filter out minor noises, so may be helpful in reducing sleep problems. And it may enhance problem-solving skills and concentration.

Choline also helps, especially in post- menopausal women, maintain moist mucous membranes. Choline works with Inositol to emulsify fats, making it less likely that they will be deposited on the walls of the arteries, or in the gall bladder.

[MagUalghairg1916]

Are you not curious as to what kind of sugar they're putting inthis "drink"? It certainly isn't real sugar, so what is it?

[autoreboot]

and how do you know that it isn't "real" sugar?

[MagUalghairg1916]

#1 the calories would go way up. #2 real sugar is expensive, this co. is going the cheap route. #3 they ingredients say "sugars" as in plural, so there's something going on there. But you don't care, do you?

[autoreboot]

And what makes you think that this company is going the cheap route? In this world, there is more than one sugar grown. So, you think that everything is fake then? I HIGHLY doubt that if all of the other ingredients are natural that they would include fake sugar. That makes a lot of sense.

[MagUalghairg1916]

And yet, you have no idea what the sweetner is. How much do you want to bet that it's not sugar from sugar cane?

And why is it so hard to find out about what's really in this stuff?

[MagUalghairg1916]

Not the same as the synthetic version. Go ahead and eat then. What about the sugar? Why aren't you addressing that?

[autoreboot]

The body requires a certain amount of sugar to function properly. Do you think that a health company such as USANA that has been proven to provide excellent products made with only the best and purest forms of ingredients would put anything toxic or bad to the human body in their product? I think not. Sugar is not bad for the body. Too much can cause damage, but like I said, the body needs some sugar to function properly.

[MagUalghairg1916]

Exactly WHAT are the 17grams of sugar?? This list doesn't tell the all important sources does it. All the real information is hidden from the consumer becuase they can legally hid it. Anybody that blindly consumes these chemicals is asking for trouble.

[usanaTim]

not all brands are created equal of course, and "more expensive" is not uncommon for USANA's products. USANA engineers products for performance and quality based on science, not necessarily for mass appeal. USANA's sales of over $400 million/yr demonstrate there are people (not all USANA associates) willing to pay for a unique product.

[sunz11]

sure, some people will definitely pay for this unique product from usana but how long do you think they will be able to continue paying for 5 dollars a can unless they are some rich person--yet even a rich person knows not to pay 5 dollars for a can of energy drink. with the economy these days, it is hard enough for a lot of people to pay for their necessities.

[sunz11]

sure, this product may sell once or twice to someone, but if they are not a usana associate, they will definitely will not be able to continue to buy it constantly. when you talk about 400 million dollars a year on sales, don't you realize that autoships do help them with sales too. imagine 100,000K+ associates most of autoship = a lot of money on sales usana brings in.

[sunz11]

I am not saying all the sales come from autoships, but I can say that most of the sales do come from the autoship of the usana associate trying to keep their business running. In the end, my point is that people maybe buy once or twice, but in the end the 2 dollars or even 3 dollars energy drink will beat a 5 dollar energy drink due to the price of the product—unless it somehow has a way to cure cancer = P.

[UsanaReport]

@usanaTim 89% of USANA revenue comes from distributor PURCHASES, and most of that is for required purchases that USANA imposes upon them.

[sunz11]

i've just search more on this energy drink and you both realize that each can is around 5 dollars right? FIVE DOLLARS FOR A CAN... no one is willing to pay 5 dollars for a can unless they are usana associates.

[jgsecret3]

It depends which case you get, if you get the 12 pack then yeah it is like 4 something per can, but if you get the 24 case your only paying around 3.60 per can which is only 60cents more than a red bull or monster. And its not a typical sugared up high fructose can of crap, REV3 is quality, its like saying that all usana products are too expensive then. You get what you pay for. thats the bottom line.

[sunz11]

First off, I would love to have you in my Usana downline organization who is hyped up about product so much and does not realize this stuff only sells a few times because people realize it is not worth buying it--unless you are a Usana associate. Second, I don't know where you buy your Monsters and Redbull, but the last time I check, they were not three dollars a can--maybe two something for redbull, but monsters are only in the high one dollar range.

[sunz11]

When you talk about quality of the products, do you realize with the economy these days and gas prices, who would have that kind of money to buy such an expensive item that is not a necessity. Quality is great, but people choose prices over quality all the time. Many rather buy the knockoff brand than the real brand just to save money. The bottom line isnt you get what you pay for.

[sunz11]

The bottom line is in a business you want to push out as many products as you can and have it so that the products are affordable (at a reasonable price) to the mass so you can bring in more money. Unless it is something like gas then people will continue to buy at any price because they need it. They dont need to drink the energy drink all the time. People will only buy it the first few times to try it out and after that, they will stop buying it.

[sunz11]

Ill prove to you that is true because the Healthpack 100 from Usana is great. I knew people used it the first time, but when it came down to continue using it and empting their pockets or not using it and saving 100+ dollars a month for other things—they choose not to use it. This concept will be the same with the energy drink. Price > Quality (unless it cures cancer like I said or does something amazing to them then that is a different story)

[jgsecret3]

Yeah i looked up the price of redbull and i was wrong but the XXL Monster, i think i saw it priced at around 2.70, so yeah rev3 is more expensive but me and my team have been going to local skateshops and they've been really interested in Rev3 because we gave a couple to them to try and they said it made them feel more alive then ever, and no other energy drink has done that to them without a crash. and some of my buddies love rev3 and they arent in usana. Well I wish you luck with your business

[UsanaReport]

All Usana products ARE too expensive. lol.

[jgsecret3]

REV3 is amazing. The only energy drink worth drinking. So many more doors are open for us young associates.  Thank you USANA!!!

[jdm27ef]
