General Information
People have been waiting for a product like MonaVie, and the creators are excited to be able to help families with a greater degree of wellness.
The Acai berry is MonaVie’s main and most renowned ingredient. The berry is found is found deep in the Amazon rainforest on 50 foot Acai palm trees. The berries are harvested 3-5 times a year and experts say that harvesting the friuts of the rainforest is wiser than harvesting the trees themselves.
MonaVie’s mission is not only to help families with a greater degree of wellness but also to help save the rainforest for future generations.
Dr. Ralph Carson and his team of experts have been studying people’s health for years. A conclusion they made was that most people were not aware of the health benefits found in eating fruit. They also concluded that with the proper intake of fruit they would get the proper amount of nutrients that their body needed. Dr. Carson and his team made the discovery that they believe will impact our personal health and wellness. Here are the five reasons why:
Factor 1: The Exotic Fruits
It is well known that most people are not eating the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables that are needed daily. The world has become a place where faster and cheaper is better and they have forgotten about the importance of eating whole fruits. People need to remember that fruit is a very important part of our diet and that it is vital to our health and longevity.
Factor 2: Variety
Even though some people know that it is important to eat fruit, they still don’t. There are many fruits in the world people just don’t know which ones to eat and that is where MonaVie comes in. The creators of this health beverage traveled and found research all around the world finding the fruits that need to be in our diet. They needed to figure out the importance of each fruit so they would know what would be best for our health and well being without the fruits cancelling their nutrients out from one another.
Factor 3: The Colors
Has anyone ever told you that the most nutritious fruit are the ones that are the most colorful? It’s true! Fruit that is brightly colored naturally contain high levels of antioxidants which help fight off carcinogens in the body. The brighter the color and pigment usually means higher and more potent nutrient levels.
Factor 4: Additional Help
Your body is constantly undergoing wear and tear. When damage is done it isn’t always able to be fixed. That is why MonaVie added two natural substances to their Active blend which aids in rejuvenation.
- Celadrin – Lubricates the body’s cell and revitalizes the membrane that cushion the bones and joints.
- Glucosamine – Glucosamine restores flexibility of your joints and is the natural building block of healthy cartilage.
Factor 5: The Acai Berry
The Acai berry also known as the crown jewel of Dr. Carson’s finding and is the most important ingredient of MonaVie. The Acai berry has high amounts of anthocyanins, which act as an anti-inflammatory. The Acai berry is found in the Brazilian rainforest.
The Sceince Behind MonaVie
MonaVie was designed to absorb quickly and easily in the body. Taking just 2-4 ounces daily provides us with the antioxidants and phytonutrients our bodies need. Antioxidants and Phytonutrients are found in some of the world’s most nutritious fruits, one being the Acai.
Your body is in constant need of a sufficient supply of antioxidants to be able to cancel out any harmful effects of free radicals. Free radicals can cause oxidative stress which can then cause your body to damage cell membranes, accelerate in aging, which can also cause your body to be vulnerable to a larger variety of ailments.
The Acai berry contains potent free radical fighting properties which are not easy to capture. As soon as 24 hours after the Acai berry is picked it can start to lose its potency. In order to keep all the nutrients and antioxidants MonaVie uses a patent pending process that freeze dries the Acai shortly after harvesting.
Studies have shown that freeze dried Acai powder has an ORAC score ten times greater than cranberries and an anthocyanin level that is twenty to thirty times greater than red wine. When the Acai is properly freeze dried it has an ORAC score of 1,027 which is greater than any fruit or vegetable tested to date.
The Science behind MonaVie Part 2
In the world today it’s more likely to find someone with quantity over someone with quality products. Everyone is always in a huge race to get their idea or product in the world to make some money. However, people are starting to be more interested in the health and wellness industry. MonaVie spent many months trying to make a product that worked for everyone. They knew that if they made a product that was one, easy and two, tasted good that they would have a product that everyone’s health would benefit from.
The scientist team efforts were supported and based on more than twenty years of nutritional science. The role of phytonutrients and antioxidants are of major importance to your health.
The Medical Advisory Board agreed on the importance of addressing chronic inflammation and that the use of fruits, a proprietary blend of fatty acids, and glucosamine could target what has become a global health issue.
Balance, Moderation and Variety--Keys to Effectiveness
Fruits are a full source of important phytonutrients and at least eight vitamins and minerals. Vitamin C is known to be one of the most powerful antioxidant and anti inflammatory agents. According to Dr. Mary Ann Lila, University of Illinois, although the most publicized properties of bioflavinoids is their antioxidant capacity, they also serve as anti inflammatory agents.
Most of the 19 fruits that were selected for the MonaVie formula were used centuries ago for medicines. There are extremely powerful yet sensitive phytonutrients found in the Acai berry which MonaVie uses as its main ingredient. Most phytonutrients known are strongly linked to pigment which protects botanicals from sunlight and harsh weather conditions. Health experts say that it is important to consume a color spectrum variety of fruits to gain the greatest advantage from their respective phytonutrients.
