Read on for some interesting insights!

Xango officially opened its doors in Malaysia & Singapore recently. However...
Xango Executive, Joe Morton, was himself quoted in Time Magazine:
9th October 2006
In the case of XanGo, "
no published clinical trials show evidence that either the fruit or its juice is an effective treatment for arthritis, cancer or any other disorder in humans," writes Dr. Brent Bauer, the Mayo Clinic's alternative-medicine specialist. Mangosteens contain antioxidants called xanthones that have been shown to stop certain bacteria and fungi in lab tests.
Yet independent-distributor sites claim the juice helps everything from Alzheimer's disease to kidney stones.
XanGo's Morton concedes that wild claims are being made. "With 600,000 distributors, some stuff gets past our compliance [measures]," he says. "Overpromising and underdelivering is a problem in any company, from painting houses to selling cars."

A Q&A article in Time Magazine with a Doctor talks about Acai, Goji, & Mangosteen.
4th September 2006
Mangosteen:
" The juice that is much hyped as a super health food is pressed from the purple rind, which has a lot of antioxidant pigments. I see no advantage over cheaper, more readily available berries and juices. "
Acai:
" The açai berry from brazil is high in antioxidants, but i'm always wary of "next big things." Familiar berries are just as good — and cheaper. "
Goji:
" Goji berries from the Himalayas are another "next big thing." They are rich in antioxidants but offer no special benefits that more familiar berries do not. "
The superfruits are marketed by: XanGo LLC, & Vemma / New Vision for the
Mangosteen; eXfuze, 4Life Research LLC, MonaVie / Monarch Health Sciences, Fruta Vida International, & Amigo Health Labs Inc for the
Acai;
FreeLife International for the
Goji / GoChi.3.
In summary, the companies marketing the above 3 said supplement beverages employ out-dated compensation plans to reward its workers, aka distributors (perhaps except Vemma & MonaVie).
They also try to attract new independent distributors by employing
intricate bonus rewards which 90% of the network marketing distributor population will never qualify for... ever!
These
bonuses only serve to reward the high-flyers who work
more than full-time on their business.
Their pay plans are only suitable for full-timers who can spend endless hours finding more & more & more consumers / sub-distributors to meet the
high product volume requirements before they get rewarded for the work they do promoting the products.
We are not saying that the products don't work... but with the above findings it is
not as bright a future for you in these companies as you might be led to think.
Especially since some of these use difficult compensation
unsuitable for 90% of the marketing workforce who are essentially part-timers.
Do WITHOUT the juice/vitamin/cosmetic/household "stuff".
