MonaVie™ and MonaVie™ Gel

• The Key Ingredient. MonaVie’s açai 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’s acai freezedried 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 is 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™ 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 known 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.
