MonaVie Antioxidant phytonutrient acai juice nutritional dri...
To create a blend of water-based fruits and essential fatty acids that tasted palatable, Mona Vie considered a number of emulsifiers. The safest, by far, was polysorbate. Polysorbate has been thoroughly researched by the FDA and has been found to be nontoxic and safe at the amounts used in Mona Vie Original and Mona Vie Active. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (the “food police” for the USDA) awarded polysorbate their highest safety rating.

How much acai is contained in Mona Vie products?

Frequently Asked Questions MV
Because Mona Vie product formulas are proprietary, the exact amount of acai or the other fruits contained in our blend is not disclosed. Yes. With flash pasteurization, the product is heated for approximately 15–30 seconds and then immediately cooled. By only briefly subjecting the product to high temperatures, most—if not all—taste and color changes are avoided.

Are Mona Vie products FDA approved?

Frequently Asked Questions MV
There is no official approval process or certificate issued by the FDA to approve the sale of any food or juice product. The Food and Drug Administration has established stringent regulations, called Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) to ensure the safety and manufacturing of foods sold in the United States. Mona Vie is manufactured in a GMP-compliant facility.

Why do Mona Vie products contain preservatives?

Frequently Asked Questions MV
Preservatives help maintain a product’s freshness. Sodium benzoate, an organic chemical preservative, can prevent the growth of almost all microorganisms (e.g., yeast, bacteria, and fungi) and occurs naturally in some fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, nuts, wines, and teas. Potassium sorbate is a potassium salt version of sorbic acid, a polyunsaturated fat used to inhibit mold growth.

Why are there natural flavors in Mona Vie products?

Frequently Asked Questions MV
Mona Vie uses natural flavors in its products because a juice concentrate, which contains only the juice from a fruit, does not give you the entire flavor of the fruit. Mona Vie’s natural flavors make our products more palatable and balanced by staying true to the natural flavor of the entire fruit. The natural flavor used in Mona Vie Original and Active Juices and in Mona Vie Gel is a mixed berry natural flavor.
