Is the world ready for another health and wellness network marketing company that relies on another Amazon superfruit? The folks at Maakoa (Maakoa.com) are making a bet that it is.

It’s about building relationships and treating people the right way.”
At the present, the company offers two products. The first is a juice called Koopuwa. Like many other juices these days, Koopuwa has Açai Berry, Pomegranate and Blueberry.

The Cupuaçu tree grows about 60 feet high and the fruit resembles a coconut.
