If you check out their ingredient information, they don't actually list how much of what daily values the juice contains. Just that it has only 12 calories, 3g of sugar and 16g of a "proprietary blend" in just one serving. Of course, the serving is 1 oz and you take it twice a day. A 32 oz bottle runs between $34 and $39, so this nutritional supplement will run you about $70 per month. And you don't even know what nutrients its supplementing. Meanwhile, products like One a Day will run you $10 for nearly a two month supply and at least you know what's in it. Also, be sure to check out those Durian/Mangosteen/Acai/Blueberry nutrition buttons at the bottom. There are lots of claims with little stars next to them that go to a disclaimer at the absolute bottom of the page that says "These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease." Actually, most of the claims have that disclaimer.Solstice International Partners(TM) searched the world to find unique and powerful fruits that combine to provide the perfect natural balance. We have formulated Mandura(TM) with four of the world's most nutrient-rich fruits from around the globe, capturing the essence of each in a preservative-free and highly-nutritional juice supplement. This special blend meets and exceeds the recommended daily values of numerous nutrients, meaning you can be assured Mandura is working to help your body function at its best.
Okay, product is crap. Moving onto compensation:
From their Compensation page:
It doesn't look at all like a pyramid...just one looooong downline.Mandura is the first company ever to implement a compensation plan called the Straight Line Forced Matrix. With this revolutionary plan, once an individual enrolls as a Mandura IBO, any IBO that enrolls after them will fall into their organization, regardless of who personally sponsored the new IBO.
But then, in their list of seven ways to make money, I think I found a pyramid. You see, #2 ("1st Generation") is signing up an IBO (Independent Business Owner). #4 ("2nd Generation") is one of your IBOs signing up one of their IBOs for auto-ship. Then, a chart further down the page indicates that you can later, rinse, and repeat the process all the way down to the 8th generation.
#7 on the list is described kind of funny, emphasis mine:
I had to laugh because that's exactly who they are rewarding...those at the top of the pyramid.To continue to reward our leaders, we have created the Royal Bonus Pool. The Royal Bonus Pool is designed to reward our top leaders who have achieved exceptionally high group volume (GV) in addition to the Team Volume Bonuses. This pool will be paid every month in proportion to the GV that has been achieved.
I also located an ad on Craigslist from a local IBO which says:
It certainly looks like someone is trying to increase her downline, but not sell product.Happy Sunday ~

I should also point out that the company named in their intro (Solstice International Partners) was registered on 06/12/08 in Florida (which seems to be where it is based) and it has two Manager/Members: Pro 356 LLC (out of California) and Mandura LLC (out of Florida). Here's the funny thing. Mandura's address on its website is in Florida, but it is in fact registered in California with a Nevada jurisdiction. So, I trotted on over to Nevada's corporate division...and there they are. Registered 5/20/08.
So, I guess Mandura is relatively new. The only nice thing I have to say about them is that they don't appear to allow the upline to benefit from membership fees.
