If you are reading this review, you probably just heard about Vemma and you are wondering whether Vemma is a scam or not. You may have heard or read several testimonials about the benefits of mangosteen juice, but you feel that it is too good to be true. I felt the same way when I first heard about it. So I decided to give it a try for a few months and see what the results are.

I have been trying various Vemma products since September 2010, and I definitely feel the positive results. I have been sleeping well, and I do feel an increase in energy during the day. So now I am sharing the results I felt in this review. I have broken down this review into three categories: 1) Nutrition Value, 2) Affordability, and 3) Business Prospect.

1) Nutrition Value

If you know how to read the label correctly, you will find that Vemma is a vitamin supplement that contains all the essential vitamins and minerals. Vemma is better than most other juices because most juices do not have the same vitamin and mineral content.

Some may argue that mangosteen juice may not be any better than grape juice, blueberry juice or acai juice because they have antioxidants as well. However, most other juices do not have all the vitamins and minerals; so you are getting the benefits of anti-oxidants as well as vitamins and minerals by drinking a vemma shot every day.

Now the second question is whether Vemma is better than a cheap multivitamin supplement that you can buy at a grocery store or pharmacy. In my opinion, the answer is yes because the vitamins are in the liquid form and minerals are in trace element form. The body can thus absorb the vitamins and minerals easily.

The other difference is that Vemma does not contain artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors and preservatives. In reality, if you take most cheap multivitamins from a grocery store, you will be consuming several chemicals such as titanium dioxide and artificial colors such as yellow # 6. These chemicals are human carcinogens, and you may doing your body more harm than good from cheap vitamins.

Vemma does not contain any of the known carcinogenic preservatives such as sodium aluminosilicate, titanium dioxide, sodium lauryl sulfate, red #5, FD&C Blue 1, FD&C Red 40, FD&C Yellow 6, sodium benzoate, titanium dioxide, or lactose monohydrate. So I was able to take it without having to worry about cancer in my later life.

Based on my own experience, I felt that my stress levels reduced significantly, my appetite was suppressed so that I was not hungry all the time, my sleep improved significantly and my energy level was up. I liked especially Verve if I needed more energy during the day.

Vemma PM also worked great because it helped me sleep well and I felt really energized the next day. Some may argue that you can buy a sleeping pill for a fraction of a cost at a grocery store or pharmacy. However, most of those sleeping pills do not have any vitamins. With Vemma PM, I felt that I was getting vitamins as well as relaxing sleep.

2) Affordability

Vemma is not cheap. A month supply costs in average about $75 including shipping costs, which turns out to be about $2.5 per day. From a cost justification perspective, $75 sounds like a lot of money but $2.5 per day is not that much given how much we spend on eating out every day.

I felt that it was worth more than $2.5 per day if I could get a quality vitamins without having to worry about cancer or any vitamin deficiency. I ended up eating out less and saved the money for Vemma. Overall, purchasing Vemma was a budget neutral decision for me.

3) Business Prospect

If you go to a Vemma seminar, you will hear that several Vemma reps were so successful that they could quit their day job. It may have worked for a small number of people. I was excited myself when I started receiving checks after I succeeded in signing up people. However, the amount was nowhere close to the point of retirement.

I think getting enough customers to pay off the monthly auto-delivery is achievable. But Vemma is not likely to make you rich any time soon unless you have a large network or extremely good sales skills.

In conclusion, Vemma is very effective and helps your body and brain. Natural organic vitamins and minerals, whether you get it from Vemma or natural fruits and vegetables, can help the body heal. But it is difficult to get a good balanced diet in the US; so supplementing with a good quality vitamin like Vemma is a good idea.

At the same time, Vemma may not make you rich right away, but the additional health benefits you get from its nutritious value may help you save money in the long run through lower medical bills.

  • What is better than Vemma?

A: Eating a balanced diet with local fruits and vegetables grown organically is better than taking Vemma or any multi-vitamin supplement. In order to get nutrients at a fraction of cost, you can try juicing fruits and vegetables at home. You can also make your own super-juice at home by blending a few fruits and adding acai powder or mangosteen powder. Acai and mangosteen powder can be purchased at your closest herbal store or naturopathic medicine store.

If blending your own super-juice seems to be a lot of work, then you can find some great vitamins online or at a store. When you buy a vitamin and mineral supplement, we suggest choosing the one that has no artificial preservatives. This article has some ideas for whole food-based vitamin supplements without preservatives.

  1. I have had stomach issues for years! I started drinking Vemma Liquid Vitamin about 8 months ago! I have not had stomach issues since and I have more energy throughout the day! I just started selling Vemma as a brand partner because I stumbled into it. I was drinking Vemma Verve at the gym and was asked about it. I gave them some free samples and they loved it. It’s fun and easy!! I am now a brand partner and enjoy telling people about how it has helped me. If you would like to contact me go to my website http://www.healthylinks.vemma.com. Regards BN

  2. So you are saying it increased your level of energy and helped you sleep better. This sounds paradoxical and ignorant. Stop reading online reviews of supplements. There’s a reason they aren’t in respectable journals because they’re written by self acclaimed experts of health. Go read an actual medical journal study of mangosteen or the effects of antioxidants and you’ll be surprised by your findings. Depending on your own health and your own body’s physiology you may be doing more harm than help with these acclaimed super supplements. Nothing can replace eating a balanced meal and consistent exercise no matter how much you pay.

    • Being healthy would include natural energy and the ability to sleep well at night. Not ignorant at all.
      Too many people are tired all day long and then can’t sleep at night. A clear sign of ill health.

  3. Over the years I have tried to eat a healthy diet. This is serious business as most of the packaged foods are JUNK. Once you start reading labels you begin to see that your are eating chemicals that are used to preserve the over processed foods in the package.

    A sustained diet of this junk leads to all kinds of problems and serious diseases. In searching for a good source of a multivitamin I came accross Vemma. It is not cheap but, but it is very good at supplying plant based minerals (these are the only minerals that the body can absorb). The array of vitamins are also liquid which makes Vemma a winner.

  4. What is Vemma PM? Please list the ingredients. I like the regular Vemma and it does increase my energy level and also appears to improve mood somewhat. I do not sell the product nor do I intend to. I do not take it daily.

  5. I have been taking it since 2009 when introduced to it at a marathon convention. I stopped taking it after (very healthy usually) I kept getting sick several times a year and it was very difficult to recover. It also doesn’t contain calcium so its not a great multivitamin as the above claims. I researched it and their mangosteen fields are not pesticide free. I am a medical professional, not a doctor, but I hold a Masters in a specialized health care field. I suspect that my body was unable to fight off germs as effectively as it normally does due to the pesticides in Vemma. Just my opinion, but I haven’t been sick in 8 months since I stopped it.

  6. @Nan You say their products are full of pesticides, where is your proof I would like to see it rather than make asumptions. I seem to not be able to find this information. This product isn’t supposed to be your only nutrient value intake for the day, of course you need to get your calcium. Vemma is supposed to give nutrients to people that don’t eat healthy at all like most Amercians, probably someone like you. Rather than go all throughout the day with no nutrients in their body.

    You also say you’ve been taking it since 2009, maybe you need to mix it up a bit and not rely on Vemma for 2 years straight. You can also get your vitamins by juicing Fruits and Vegetables. My advice to you Dr. is to eat healthy and exercise ALSO add an addition beverage that is filled with Vitamins and Minerals. Maybe Vemma or something else, but don’t dismiss the benefits of a Nutritional Beverage.

    Damn I hate medical professionals (Doctors)… Just give them another pill right Dr.

    • What you are saying still makes Vemma the better choice for receive your daily dose of vitamins and minerals. Vemma gives you a complete daily allowance of vitamins and minerals. You eat as you normally eat and consume your daily dose of Vemma to ensure that you are getting your complete daily dose of vitamins and minerals. You can spend a lot of money on trying to get a complete daily nutrition from foods. However, most people cannot afford this on a daily basis. So, a simple solution would be to choose Vemma as your daily supplement to ensure you get your complete daily dose of vitamins and minerals. If you share the products and opportunity with others, you can earn commissions. You join as a customer or a brand partner. You get a free website either way. To build a big business, you can use the Vemma Builder marketing system to help you build a global business. It not mandatory to become a brand partner.

      I personally started just to try out the product. It does wonders for my health. I had to have a surgery and from me taking the product, I recovered in record time. The product simply works.

    • That is not true. Vemma is not loaded with sugar and caffeine. The caffeine in Vemma is plant based and organic. There are 8g of carbohydrates, 8g of sugar so how can Vemma be loaded with sugar?

  7. I’ve been taking Vemma for two years and my husband and I noticed several health changes. I started sleeping through the night my knee and shoulder stopped hurting. My husband had his knee stop hurting and his cholesterol came down 80 pts. Once we experienced such positive results we knew we had to tell everyone we knew and joined as Brand Partners.

  8. @Angie Medlin
    That is how I become a brand partner. The product works and you get excited and want to share the products with others.

  9. I have drank vemma for 11 days. I do hope vemma can help my conditions. I have experienced giddiness for 3 years; I had seen many doctors but none can help me. I had many checkup and all reports are all fine.

  10. Ted, Vemma is not a medicine or a cure for diseases or other ailments it is dietary supplement. It will give your body what it needs nutritionally. The nutrition that you get from taking the supplement may help to alleviate the symptoms you my be having that causes your giddiness. You should have more energy from using the product. Give us your experiences thus far for the 11 days of you using the products.

    • Hi TK , Tried for 30days. Experience : gastric problem does improve a bit. Let see what will vemma do to me after another 30 days

  11. I have been taking the product for three years and have yet to go to the Dr for a sick visit. The business opportunity is exactly what you make it – you get out what you put in – just like any other business. It is well worth the cost of the product and the productivity you get from the quality of life you experience on this product. I personally plan on taking this product for life.

  12. Read your honest appraisal of VEMMA. I have been on it for five years and have in those five years studied it and it’s ingredients on places like pubmed and Lancet.
    My only gripe is juicing fruits and veggies at home. Ok if your rich and want to be fat. Problem is there are very few nutrients in modern food, even in what you grow at home. The soil is severely depleted of vitamin and minerals. You would have to eat 21 apples today yo equal the nutrition you got form only one apple 20 years ago. Even the FDA states we need to intake 9 serving of fruit and veggies a day just to make the minimum daily requirement. Very cost prohibitive. Dad was a Naturopath and Homeopath and studied TCM. Herbs are great if you study to know how they will effect you as he did. Most won’t. Time consuming. Plus learning how all these work together is important. Just a hint in hopes of promoting a healthier lifestyle for all of us. Thanks for you site. People really need it!

  13. this is my 90days of drinking vemma twice per day.so far my gastric problem do improve a little tiny bit.other than that, no more improvement from my other sickness. I still easily get tired even I drink vemma.
    I had bought gold package so mean I have few bottles of vemma left. let see what will be the result after September.

  14. I took the Vemma bod’e today and I was fine and then like 2 hrs later my face was hot and I broke out just a few minutrs on my neck just made me feel different.Is that normal because of my body getting use to it?

    • This is the biggest scam there is….typical pyramid scheme! The company ropes you in, you can’t cancel your account with just an email and trying to get through is at least a 30 minute wait. We returned products being delivered after canceling account, paid $40 for shipping, was promised a refund(minus shipping charges) but still never received reimbursement and it’s been 6 weeks! Extremely unprofessional and nasty staff……STAY AWAY!

      • That’s crazy!! But not true..There are 1000’s of people dealing with Vemma and a testimony such as yours is hard to believe..I don’t support Vemma nor have I tried their products, but the word scam is pretty strong based on what you have written. Not sure what you did to have this misfortune, but obviously you did something wrong or else we would hear tons more testimonies like yours. They have too many people investing in their products and business not hear of some issues as you are noting more frequently if they were to be accurate.

      • You are a jackass if you think this is a scam… How about you look at the facts behind the company and the affiliations before you jump to such serious conclusions… They are affiliate with Nascar, The Biggest Loser, Buffalo Bills, they are the official energy drink of the Phoenix Suns and Charlotte Bobcats… You have no idea what you’re talking about and it’s people like you that give us a bad rep… As for the long waiting time on the phone… That’s because this company is going viral and there is an abundance of phone calls coming in all day long. They are working on hiring more people to work the phones to reduce the waiting time. Next time research before you look like an idiot Kris.

  15. The facial heat you experienced was from the Niacin. People who are low in Niacin will experience this at first. Just take smaller doses and work your way up. As to breaking out, I don’t know why it happened so quickly, but this is probably a sign that your filtering organs, such as kidneys, liver, etc aren’t detoxifying properly and as a result shows up in the skin. Drink more water to help your kidneys detoxify your body.

  16. Exactly what Ebony said. Taking Vemma Bode is so healthy your body will start to detoxify its own way. I heard of a painter of 15 years started to take Vemma and in two weeks began showing boils on the skin. All the years of build up in the skin were finally being removed.

  17. I would like to know if it’s true Dr. Oz is all for these products, is affiliated with the company or is this the product he has stated unequivocable that he is not promoting this product at all?

  18. I have been taking this product since 2006 when the doctor told me I have spots on my lungs from second hand smoke. My husband smokes. My spots are gone and my husband has had 7 heart attacks and 1 bypass surgery and is still living without oxygen and with only 16% of his heart functioning. We do eat healthy with veggies, fruit and protein, but
    Vemma does help with the body and nutrition.

  19. My wife attended the Vemma conference in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago and Dr. Oz actually told the group that Vemma is his choice of vitamin for himself and his family every morning. Trust me he gets whatever vitamin/supplements he wants for free and for him to say that says a lot about this product.

  20. I recently had a phone conference with a mentor about getting connected to the company. I’m still a little reluctant. Can anyone give me a clear answer as to veema and their products?

    • Robert, give me a call sometime, I’d love to talk more about Vemmas products with you! Personally I drink one everyday before work and trust me, I did my research for I used to be a major skeptic on how great this can possibly be.

  21. Doctor Oz could easily be on the take. You’d be kidding yourself if you don’t think he gets money to endorse health products.

  22. I love the drink mix. The other drinks are tolerable. My fiance will not drink them but he loves his morning shake and I have never before been able to get him to eat breakfast or drink a shake. He didn’t have much weight to lose.
    Everyone in the family who has tried it is very pleased with the results except me. His sister can’t stay with most diets and did this one. Mom, dad, brother all lost weight and said it was easy.
    I found the diet easy to follow, but at work I’m practically an athlete every day and found myself starving on the low carb days. I lost only a few pounds the first week. Gained it back on the guilt free day ( and didn’t think I had gone nearly as overboard as the others).
    That said I would still stick with it if it were not for the irritatingly slow shipping from the company and $45 shipping cost for one little box. 3-4 days to process the order before shipping. I work for the highest priced shipping/delivery company. It doesn’t cost $45 to ship that box.

  23. Hi, Im currently taking Vemma . Can I take multi vitamins in the evening or is taking Vemma daily the only supplement that I need?

  24. Vemma is absolutely amazing. I can let you know anything you need to know about the product. (828)461-1332 or check out davidsoto.vemma.com

  25. OMG I can’t wait to be a part of this ;’). I want energy , and a good night sleep , and to become healthy as well.
