Benefits

  • Offers a blend of 19 fruits, including the superfood acai.
  • Provides antioxidants and phytonutrients to help maintain and promote good health.
  • Delivers the equivalent antioxidant capacity of approximately 13 servings of fruits and vegetables (in 4 oz. of MonaVie® Juice).
  • Contains 1000-1200mg of glucosamine in 4 oz. to help promote joint mobility, health, and function.

Key Ingredient

The acai berry is the crown jewel of the MonaVie Active® blend. When properly freeze-dried, acai boasts an ORAC score higher than that of any other fruit or vegetable tested to date, based on available USDA data. It’s no wonder that for ages the indigenous cultures of the Amazon have revered acai as a source of health and vitality. Recently, modern science has validated the remarkable health benefits of this fruit, and studies have shown acai to contain the following beneficial nutrients:

  • Antioxidants
  • Phytonutrients
  • Amino acids
  • Vitamins
  • Trace minerals

Studies have also shown that freeze-dried acai powder boasts antioxidant capacity more than 15 times higher than blueberries and more than 20 times higher than raspberries. The final MonaVie Active® blend incorporates the flavors and benefits of the acai berry and other healthful and delicious fruits.

What Makes MonaVie Active® Unique?

The Key Ingredient. MonaVie Active’s® acai leverages an exclusive method of preserving the benefits of the acai berry into a freeze-dried powder. Rich in polyphenols (a powerful form of antioxidants), acai is able to neutralize free radicals, thereby lowering oxidative stress. What’s important to note is that the acai berry’s nutritional properties are volatile and can easily be compromised if not properly harvested and processed. The process used to make MonaVie Active’s® acai freeze-dried powder is the most effective method of ensuring the nutrient content and antioxidant activity of the acai berry.

The Blend. The acai berry is arguably the most important fruit in existence for your health. Experts have referred to acai as one of nature's top superfoods. But nature has given us literally thousands of different phytonutrients and antioxidants that are important for our bodies to function optimally. While it may be difficult to get too much of a good thing, it would be unwise to ignore the variety of health benefits that nature’s other fruits have to offer. This is why MonaVie Active® products include a blend of beneficial fruits from around the world. Together, their synergistic effect reaches far beyond what any single fruit could accomplish.

MonaVie® believes in the philosophy of Balance–Variety–Moderation: balance is better than relying upon the contribution of a single ingredient; variety can produce greater benefits than one particular nutrient; and moderation is more powerful than excess.

The Process. MonaVie® takes great care at each step in production to ensure the highest quality standards are met.

(Harvesting) The process begins with the harvesting of the acai berry deep within the Amazon River basin. Unlike poachers, who illegally chop down an entire tree just to harvest a 12-inch section of the tree know as the palmito (or “heart of the palm”), our conservative harvesting method removes only the acai berries, thereby preserving the life of the tree and promoting the preservation of the Amazon Rainforest.

(Processing) Acai is a powerful yet delicate fruit, and much of its vitamin and nutrient content can be lost within 24 hours after harvesting, if not properly cared for. To preserve its full complement of nutrients, our acai is frozen soon after harvesting. This frozen acai is then processed into our unique freeze-dried formula, the most effective and nutrient-dense form of acai available.

(Formulation and bottling) Most companies use a process known as kettle pasteurization. This process involves heating the formula for several hours and can inadvertently “cook out” many of the nutritional properties. However, MonaVie® uses flash pasteurization in which the formula is rapidly heated, bottled, and cooled, thereby capturing the fresh flavors, vibrant colors, and beneficial properties of the blend.

The Science. Each step of this advanced and unique process takes place under the watchful eyes of our industry leading product development team and scientific advisors.

Who Should Use This Product?

  • MonaVie Active® Juice —Men and women who want to maintain an active lifestyle and supplement their daily diets with beneficial antioxidants and a variety of nutritious, pigmented fruits.
  • MonaVie Active® Gel —Men and women on-the-go, who want all the benefits of MonaVie Active® juice in a convenient gel pack.

Did You Know?
Every batch of each fruit in the MonaVie® Active blend is tested before shipping to, and after arriving in, the United States to guarantee quality and freshness.

Mona Vie enthusiasts drink to the health benefits of acai berry

by Fran Henry

Monday August 25, 2008, 12:52 PM

Monavie

Marci Marg, trim and blond, unblushingly calls herself a drinker, but then again, so does her husband, Ken.

Their 20-year-old son, whom they call health-conscious, drinks, too. And their daughters, 18 and 14, soon will.

That's a lot of Mona Vie, a nonalcoholic juice elixir packaged in a sleek bottle. The product contains 18 fruit juices, most importantly the juice of a grape-sized deep purple acai (pronounced a-sah'-ee) berry -- the latest in the parade of exotic fruits vying for health food stardom.

The berry, a rich source of anti-oxidants -- compounds that prevent cell damage that accelerates the aging process and can lead to illness, including cancer -- is extolled as "the world's No. 1 superfood" by talk show darling Dr. Nicholas Perricone, author of three New York Times best sellers on health, beauty and longevity. And the dermatologist's endorsement has gained traction on Oprah Winfrey's Web site.

Its superlative nutritional qualities don't come cheap. Mona Vie retails for $40 to $45 for one person's weekly supply, but the Margs of Pepper Pike get it wholesale, about $20, because they're distributors.

Less expensive acai-berry juice products are available, including Sambazon brand fruit drinks at East Side Giant Eagle stores and Whole Foods Markets, but none have made Mona Vie's splash in the health-food marketplace.

"Everyone is jumping on the acai-berry bandwagon," said Mona Vie spokeswoman Julie Jenkins. "Tropicana is going to put it in something."

Like being a member
of a wholesale club

Despite rumblings otherwise, Mona Vie's sales vehicle isn't an illegal pyramid, or Ponzi scheme, said Amy Robinson, vice president for communications of the Direct Selling Association, a trade group for multilevel marketing companies.

"With a pyramid you pay a high upfront fee to begin, and you get paid for recruiting distributors, not selling," she said. "Mona Vie seems to follow what one would expect for a multilevel marketing plan."

The Utah-based Mona Vie operates not unlike Tupperware or Avon, in which distributors' earnings are based on sales. Distributors pay $39 a year for membership, and many sign up only to buy the product for themselves at wholesale prices.

"It's like being a member of Sam's Club or Costco," Robinson said.

Federal Trade Commission spokeswoman Claudia Farrell said the agency has taken no law enforcement action against Mona Vie.

Marci Marg began selling Mona Vie out of appreciation for the product.

"I wanted everyone I love to drink this juice," she said. "The passion evolved. I never intended it to be a business. I don't look at it as selling."

Her enthusiasm grew as she drank two ounces twice a day for six months. She said it alleviated the chronic joint and neck pain, migraines and low-energy level that had plagued her since she was in a severe auto accident at 21.

"I lived on Advil for a long time." she said.

Ken Marg, 54, started sipping the syrupy drink when he observed that his wife was getting up at 7 a.m. instead of 10 a.m.

"My father asked me, 'How can it help one person sleep and give another energy,' " said Marci Marg, 49. " I said it just gives the body what it needs."

Just another
good berry?

To the American Dietetic Association, the acai is just another terrific berry, a good source of anti-oxidants, but not necessarily magic.

"It's the 'newest, latest, greatest anti-oxidant,'" said national spokeswomanAmy Jamieson-Petonic, a registered dietitian. "But there's not enough peer-reviewed research to support it."

Other fruits, including blueberries, grapes, guavas, mangos, raspberries and pomegranates, are also excellent sources of anti-oxidants.

The tantalizing possibility that the berry might live up to the hype emerged in the January 2006 issue of the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry. University of Florida researchers reported that four out of six acai-berry extracts killed 35 percent to 86 percent of leukemia cells when applied for 24 hours. The primary investigator, Stephen Talcott, now an assistant professor at Texas A&M University, declined to discuss the study or name its sponsor.

The study falls short for the Dietetic Association and Jamieson-Petonic.

"Being the scientist I am, I need a double-blind placebo-based trial to guide my path," she said.

But Joshua Bomser, an Ohio State University assistant professor and berry researcher, said Talcott's study demonstrated the value of studying foods not commonly eaten in this country. Bomser has studied the bilberry, lingonberry and blueberry and found that bilberry extracts reduced the incidence of skin tumors in mice.

He cautioned that consumers shouldn't expect any one food to be a nutritional magic bullet.

"A balanced, moderate diet that includes a variety of fruits and vegetables is your best bet," he said. "Increased fruit and vegetable consumption is associated with a reduced risk for a number of chronic diseases," although the specific components responsible for these health benefits are not well established.

Mona Vie doesn't claim it is anything but a rich source of phytochemicals and anti-oxidants. In fact,the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Mona Vie acted quickly to stop a distributor's Web site from suggesting that the berry has therapeutic qualities.

"We call it food," said Jenkins, the Mona Vie spokeswoman.

And the Margs call it delicious.

MonaVie’s Newest Hawaiian Blue Diamond—Robert Dean


Congratulations to Robert Dean from McDonough, Georgia, on achieving the rank of Hawaiian Blue Diamond Executive. Here’s what he had to say on reaching this impressive milestone…

“My journey began by taking the time to learn everything I could about the products and the compensation plan. MonaVie is a company with awesome products that really taste good. It is also a company that has incredible incentives and a lucrative compensation plan that benefits everyone at all levels. The MORE Project is another unique aspect that drew me to MonaVie.

“I believe my success is a result of staying focused on my goals. I’ve committed to hosting no less than 15-20 tasting parties a week, as tasting parties and product sales are the key to our business. I also make sure that I help all distributors who want to be helped. Having a positive attitude and an incredible work ethic are other factors that have helped me be successful.

“I encourage all distributors to adhere to their uplines’ systems, continue to host tasting parties, and stay focused on your goals and dreams.”
