Key Ingredient
The acai berry is the crown jewel of the MonaVie 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
- Essential fatty acids (Omega 3)
- Amino acids
- Vitamins and minerals
- Complex carbohydrates
- Dietary fiber
- 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
blend incorporates the flavors and benefits of the acai berry and
other healthful and delicious fruits.

What Makes MonaVie Unique?

- The Key Ingredient: MonaVie's acai leverages a
proprietary 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 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 the world's No. 1 superfood. 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 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 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 patent pending, freezedried
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 dense nutrient content 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.

Did You Know?
- Dr. N icholas Perricone (featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show),
in his best-selling book, The Perricone Promise, ranks acai as the
world's No. 1 superfood.
- Every batch of each fruit in the MonaVie blend is tested before
shipping to and after arriving in the United States to guarantee
quality and freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is acai?
Acai is a small, round, dark-purple berry with amazing nutritional
properties. Its appearance is similar to that of a grape, but it has a
smaller amount of pulp and a single large seed. Scientific experts
have referred to the acai berry as the most nutritious and powerful
food in the world.

Does acai have a high ORAC score?
Yes, MonaVie's freeze-dried powder boasts the highest ORAC score
of any fruit or vegetable tested to date, on a gram-for-gram basis.
The acai berry is the star among other well-known antioxidant
fruits, such as blueberries, grapes, cranberries, and pomegranates.
Obtaining a variety of antioxidants through diet or supplementation
is essential to maintaining good health.

What does ORAC mean?
ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) is a way to measure the
antioxidant capacity of a food. Foods with high ORAC values are
desirable for their ability to inhibit free radical activity.

What are phyto nutrients?
Phytonutrients are powerful antioxidants and naturally occurring
compounds that contribute to the flavor, color, and diseaseresistance
of plants (i.e., fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and
legumes). Maximum health benefits are derived from consuming a
variety of phytonutrients with a full spectrum of colors and pigments,
such as those found in MonaVie products.

What are polyphenols?
Polyphenols are a class of powerful antioxidants that are thought
to be responsible for the French Paradox: the French have a diet
relatively high in fat, yet have a decreased incidence of heart disease;
this is attributed to the amount of polyphenols present in the grapes

used to make French wines. MonaVie products contain a powerful
variety of polyphenols, including anthocyanins. It is estimated that
MonaVie products have 20-30 times the anthocyanins found in
red wine.

What is glucosamine hydrochloride?
Glucosamine hydrochloride is a natural compound found in the
body that is used to help make and form cartilage. Glucosamine
has also been shown to help lubricate, cushion, protect, and rebuild
joints.

Are MonaVie products safe?
Yes. MonaVie contains fruit juices and purees naturally found in
the food supply that have been consumed by various cultures for
hundreds of years. However, if you have any health concerns,
consult a physician before starting any new product or program.
What is the shelf life of the MonaVie Original and

Active juices and MonaVie Gel?
If unopened, MonaVie Original, Active, and Gel have a shelf life
of one year. If MonaVie Original or Active juice has been opened,
then the shelf life is approximately 30-60 days, as long as the
opened bottle is refrigerated. MonaVie Gel should be consumed in
