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.

Mona Vie products are a proprietary blend of 19 power-packed fruits. Fruits are necessary not only for their vitamin, mineral, and fiber content, but also for the many phytonutrients and antioxidants they offer. Mona Vie’s goal was to create a blend of delicious and nutritious fruits high in antioxidants and specific phytonutrients.

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.

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.

Some fiber is removed from Mona Vie Juice in order to make it taste good and have a good texture, so we recommend eating some whole fruits that aren't in Mona Vie Acai juice. It is always important that you maintain a well balanced diet in addition to drinking Mona Vie Juice.

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.

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.

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.

There is no special approval or certificate needed from the FDA to approve the sale of a juice product. As long as the ingredients contained in Mona Vie products are generally recognized as safe, which they are, FDA approval is not necessary.

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.
