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.

In addition to the açai berry, Mona Vie products contain white grape, pear, acerola, pear puree, aronia, purple grape, cranberry, passion fruit, banana, apricot, prune, kiwi, blueberry, bilberry, camu camu, wolfberry, pomegranate, and lychee fruit.

To ensure the highest level of quality, Mona Vie blends and produces Mona Vie products at its manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City, Utah (not far from the corporate office).

Yes, Mona Vie products are safe and contain only well-tolerated foods. Mona Vie 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, you should consult a physician before starting any new product or program.

While all the fruits contained in Mona Vie have unique properties that benefit your body, the acai berry has become the “headliner” fruit because it is packed with nutritional value—proteins, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals. It also has a low glycemic index. So complete is this berry that the Brazilian people living along the Amazon can survive on it as their sole source of food and demonstrate amazing vitality and energy.

Yes. The acai used by Mona Vie is certified organic through The Institute for Marketecology (IMO). IMO is one of the first and most renowned international agencies for inspection, certification, and quality assurance of eco-friendly products. IMO’s worldwide activities are accredited by the Swiss Accreditation Service (SAS), according to EN 45011 (ISO 65), which is the international standard for organic certification.

Açai, acerola, camu camu, and bilberry are certified organic. However, it is not possible to have all the fruits in Mona Vie products be certified organic; for example, Mona Vie’s wolfberry is harvested in China, and the Chinese government does not have an organic certification process.

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.

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.

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.

Mona Vie is a delicious and energizing blend of the Brazilian açai berry—one of nature’s top super-foods—and 18 other nutrient-dense fruits. Developed with the philosophy Balance-Variety-Moderation, Mona Vie delivers the phytonutrients and antioxidants you need to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Mona Vie’s Active formula also contains the added benefits of esterified fatty acids and glucosamine to help maintain healthy joints.

Eating a diet rich in a variety of fruits and vegetables is known to aid in the prevention of disease and in living a long, active, and healthy life. It is not the purpose of a natural product like Mona Vie to treat, cure, or prevent disease; the FDA only approves drugs to offer these benefits. Mona Vie products are made with a specific selection of powerful super-fruits and other natural compounds, such as glucosamine and esterified fatty acids.

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.
