MonaVie Acai Berry Juices
September 8, 2008
MonaVie was released first back in 2005, as a scientifically formulated nutritional product that was of premium quality. The premium product comes in an elegant bottle resembling a bottle of wine, but within the bottle is a wealth of nutrition. The scientific blend contains of course acai berry juice, as well as other specifically chosen fruits from around the world that are also nutrient dense. The goal of the MonaVie products is to give the consumer both antioxidants and phytonutrients that a person needs for a active and healthy lifestyle. MonaVie is currently sold in the United States of America and all its territories, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Singapore with intentions set on expansion further throughout the world. Expansion has also added to the product line, once only one product has increased to many. Not only is there the original MonaVie formulated juice blend, but now there are two others as well – the MonaVie Active and the MonaVie Pulse. Not only available in the large bottles now either – all three varieties of MonaVie have travel companions that allow for the convenience of a single serving gel pack containing all of the nutrition provided in their larger companions. The MonaVie Active formula is intended for helping the body with healthy joints. The original juice blend was added to with a special plant-derived glucosamine. Glucosamine is of course the ingredient that has been scientifically proven to increase mobility and flexibility of the joints. The newer MonaVie Pulse was recently added to the MonaVie family to provide all the benefits of the original, but also to help the cardiovascular system. To aid in the goal of a healthy heart, plant sterols, resveratol and omega 3 fatty acids were added to the juice mixture. These are all powerful ingredients recognized for their ability to reduce cholesterols.
Going back to the original formula in MonaVie, it contains first and foremost the acai berry juice. If you are not familiar with the acai berry, it comes from the Amazon and is considered as one of the top superfoods available on our planet. This little berry is highly rich in beneficial nutrients like antioxidants, phytonutrients, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. While beneficial alone, the acai berry juice is mixed with eighteen specifically studied and chosen fruits. These other fruits are also beneficial to the body in many ways. They come from around the globe to join the acai berry in a well-balanced nutritionally rich juice drink. While acai may be the star the other eighteen fruit do not take much of a back seat themselves. They are acerola, aronia, banana, bilberry, blueberry, camu camu, cranberry, kiwi, lychee fruit, nashi pear, passionfruit, pear, pomegranate, prune, purple grape, white grape and wolfberry in the original MonaVie blend. The MonaVie premium juice blends are designed for fast absorption by the body. The recommended dosage is between two to four ounces each day. While some say that the price tag on the MonaVie products are too expensive, many fruits and vegetables can be bought in local markets to have the same effect there is also the ease of using an already created product. As with most things in relation to health the debate will continue to go on and a consumer will need to decide what is best for him or her.
