MonaVie is a delicious and energizing blend of the Brazilian a?ai berry—one of nature’s top super-foods—and other nutrient dense fruits. Developed with the philosophy Balance-Variety-Moderation, MonaVie delivers the phytonutrients and antioxidants you need to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.

For customers concerned about potassium levels for reasons relating to dialysis, please consult a physician before taking MonaVie products. The potassium level in MonaVie Original and MonaVie Active is approximately 62–66 mg/oz. MonaVie Original and MonaVie Active contain no potassium additives, grapefruit, or cantaloupe.

In addition to the Acai berry, there are 18 fruits: White grape, Nashi pear, Acerola, Pear, Aronia, Grape , Cranberry, Passionfruit, Banana, Apricot, Prune, Kiwi, Blueberry, Bilberry, Wolfberry, Pomegranate, Lychee, Camu Berry. Only 17% of the population consumes the recommended 2 to 3 servings of a variety of fruits each day.

There is no official approval process or certificate issued from the FDA to approve the sale of food or juice products in the United States. The Food and Drug Administration, however, has established stringent laws and regulations, called Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) to ensure the safety of foods manufactured and sold in the U.S. MonaVie is manufactured in a GMP compliant facility.

MonaVie 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. MonaVie’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 MonaVie Original, MonaVie Active, and MonaVie Active Gel is a mixed berry natural flavor. Yes.

To create a blend of water-based fruits and essential fatty acids that tasted palatable, MonaVie 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 MonaVie Original and MonaVie Active. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (the “food police” for the USDA) awarded polysorbate their highest safety rating.

We changed the formula for two main reasons. First, the regulatory bodies of some international markets classify glucosamine as a medicine. In an effort to create a globally acceptable product, glucosamine was removed from the formula. Second, U.S. regulatory laws would require MonaVie Active to be changed from a food to a dietary supplement. As a dietary supplement, many states (including Florida) require the collection of sales tax.

While all the fruits contained in MonaVie 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 MonaVie 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.

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

More than any fruit or vegetable tested to date, the a?ai berry has the highest recorded ORAC value against the damaging superoxide free radical. Left unchecked, the superoxide radical targets healthy joints, which can lead to the decline of joint function and mobility as we age. With a substantial increase of a?ai in the new MonaVie Gel, you are getting even more ammunition against the superoxide radical. We are confident you will enjoy even greater benefits to your health.

The MonaVie Gel formula is extremely safe; it can be taken by all types of individuals. It can safely be consumed by children under the age of 12, pregnant women, and women who are nursing.

A?ai—the key ingredient in MonaVie—is a nutritional powerhouse of beneficial carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. A significant portion of the naturally occurring carbohydrates in the a?ai berry are health-promoting dietary fibers. With the substantial increase of a?ai in the product, you are now getting a greater portion of these beneficial carbohydrates in a single serving.
