Why did Mon*Vie change the gel formula?
We changed the formula for two main reasons. First, the regulatory bodies of some international markets classify glucosamine as a medicine. In an effort to create a globally acceptable product, glucosamine was removed from the formula. Second, U.S. regulatory laws would require MonaVie Active to be changed from a food to a dietary supplement. As a dietary supplement, many states (including Florida) require the collection of sales tax. In addition to the reasons above, we also wanted to make a delicious and healthy on-the-go snack that could be consumed by everyone, including children.
