Moa:  The Drink

Moa.  34 superfoods, 1 bottle.  The developers of this superfood drink have packed some crazy and exotic sounding ingredients including Noni berries, Seaweed, even mushrooms into each shot!  The end product is a flavourful drink.  According to the bottle, Moa should be taken in 30ml shots twice per day; although many people take more due to its health benefits and exceptional taste.  As part of Aarix Nutrifi range, Moa is advertised as ‘so much more than a supplement’ and it’s easy to see why…

I bought this product after Dane, my PT, mentioned that he was trying it a few months ago – it sounded weird and like something which had an acquired taste.  On both counts, I was in.

First Impressions

The first thing that strikes you is the presentation.  The bottle arrives in a box, neatly packaged and easy to store. Then we move onto the bottle, it’s purple in colour and looks pretty strange when you consider the size and shape of bottles for other health drinks.

The magic begins when you take off the lid and smell Moa for the first time.  When I talked with my PT about what we could taste in the drink we came up with completely different answers.  I’ll bet people can smell different ingredients too – after all, there are 34 in total!  To my nose, it has a smell of berries, appetising!

Tasting Moa for the first time was a real experience.  I didn’t just get one flavour but a transition from one flavour to another, before being left with a pleasant aftertaste.  Initially the drink tastes of berries before moving on to a fiery ginger with a black pepper finish.  Perfect, as anyone who knows me knows that I can’t get enough ginger!

Health Benefits

Now to the health benefits.  I’m susceptible to colds, and I was expecting to be hit with plenty of them, especially since I was working mainly late shifts earlier this year.  Whilst taking Moa, the frequency and severity of the colds significantly reduced, that was noticeable.  I was also impressed with the way I felt within myself after taking a shot.  I felt energised for most of the day and didn’t feel run down at all whilst taking the drink.  With my particularly sensitive stomach, I thought Moa may be an issue as a result of such a concentration of superfoods down into one shot of drink but this wasn’t the case.  I’m glad to report that I didn’t experience any side effects from drinking Moa.

Rating the Product

If I had to rate this product I’d give it an 8/10.  Moa is expensive for such a small bottle but the quality of the product probably justifies that price tag.  I was really happy with the taste, even though you just have one shot of it at a time… why can’t they make a long drink which tastes this good?  The presentation of the bottle and the box it comes in is first class and demonstrates the care that has been put into making such a quality product.  If you are looking for something a bit different to supplement your health, I recommend giving this a go.  Once you’ve had one bottle of Moa, there is no going back…
