Benefits

• Serves as a delicious alternative to encapsulated nutritional
supplements
• Contains glucosamine and esterified fatty acids (MonaVie
Active)
Key Ingredient
The açai berry is the crown jewel of the MonaVie blend. When
properly freeze-dried, açai boasts an ORAC score of 1,027 per
gram—higher than that of any other fruit or vegetable tested
to date. It’s no wonder that for ages the indigenous cultures of
the Amazon have revered açai as a source of health and vitality.
Recently, modern science has validated the remarkable health
benefits of this fruit, and studies have shown açai 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 açai powder has an
ORAC score that is 79 times higher than that of red grapes and an
anthocyanin (purple colored antioxidants) level that is 20–30 times
that of red wine. The final MonaVie blend incorporates the flavors
and benefits of the açai berry and other healthful and delicious
fruits.
What Makes MonaVie Unique?
• The Key Ingredient: MonaVie’s açai leverages a patent
pending method of preserving the benefits of the açai berry into
a freeze-dried powder. Rich in polyphenols (a powerful form of
antioxidants), açai is able to neutralize free radicals, thereby
lowering oxidative stress. What’s important to note is that the
açai berry’s nutritional properties are volatile and can easily
be compromised if not properly harvested and processed. The
process used to make MonaVie’s açai freeze-dried powder is
the most effective method of ensuring the nutrient content and
antioxidant activity of the açai berry.
• The Blend. The açai berry is arguably the most important fruit
in existence for your health. Experts have referred to açai as
the world’s No. 1 super-food. 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 açai
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 açai
berries, thereby preserving the life of the tree and promoting the
preservation of the rainforest.
(Processing) Açai 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 açai is frozen soon after harvesting. This frozen
açai is then processed into our patent pending, freeze-dried
formula (OptiACAI™), the most effective and nutrient-dense form
of açai 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. Nicholas Perricone (featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show),
in his best-selling book, The Perricone Promise, ranks açai as the
world’s No. 1 super-food.
• 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 açai?
Açai 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 açai berry as the most nutritious and powerful
food in the world.
Does açai have a high ORAC score?
Yes, MonaVie’s OptiACAI™ freeze-dried powder boasts the highest
ORAC score (1,027) of any fruit or vegetable tested to date, on a
gram-to-gram basis. The açai berry is the star among other wellknown
antioxidant fruits, such as blueberries, grapes, cranberries,
and pomegranates. By comparison, açai has more than 10 times
the antioxidant power of cranberries. 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 phytonutrients?
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, both the MonaVie Juices and MonaVie Gel have a
shelf life of one year. If the MonaVie 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 its
entirety as soon as it is opened.
