the World's #1 Superfood. He also called the
Acai Berry one of the most nutritious and
powerful anti-aging foods in the world today.

Growing Popularity
"Eighteen months ago, few people in the United States had heard of the acai berry," says Jeff Graham, MonaVie's Director of Product Development. "Now it's in health food stores, retail stores, and superstores." But while there are other acai products out there, MonaVie is credited with bringing the acai berry and its benefits to the masses.
MonaVie was launched in January 2005. MonaVie is one of the largest users of the acai berry in the United States, as a company, we have spent a large portion of our research and development budget studying and documenting the many health benefits of this most powerful superfood," Jeff says.
MonaVie - Overall Better Health
"With MonaVie, users report overall better health," says Dr. Lyle Mason, an orthopedic surgeon and a founding member of MonaVie's medical advisory board. "Some of the improvements are specific, while others are more general." Other less-specific benefits reported by MonaVie users include increased energy, feeling less fatigued and sleeping better at night. In addition, many individuals using the MonaVie Active formula report an improvement in their overall joint health.
Antioxidants are becoming increasingly important due to the increasing levels of environmental damage that our bodies face. While the exact role of antioxidants has yet to be quantified, many people feel that increasing the number of antioxidants in their diets will prevent this cell destruction and limit the harmful effects of free radicals in their bodies.
MonaVie - A Select Combination
While the nutrient-dense acai berry plays a starring role in the MonaVie formula, its total health benefit is reached when the acai berry is combined with 18 other fruits. Some of these fruits are well-known, such as pomegranates, purple and white grapes, pears, cranberries, passion fruit, bananas, apricots, prunes, kiwis and blueberries.
Other fruits in the mixture are not so common. These include the nashi pear from eastern Asia; bilberries, which are found throughout temperate and subarctic regions of the world; wolfberries, and lychee from China; and the acerola fruit, which is native to the West Indies and northern South America and is prized for its high vitamin C content.
Combined into the MonaVie Juice, each of thesecarefully selected ingredients reaches far beyond what any single fruit could accomplish. "These fruits weren't picked because they were pretty or because they were easy to get, "Jeff says. "They were chosen for their unique health benefits."
The combination of the different types of fruits means that you may consume s small amount of MonaVie and still receive the equivalent of phytonutrients that you would if you consumed large quantities of any fruit.
