The fruit has been enjoyed in the Amazon for quite sometime, but it is only recently that its benefits have become known to other countries especially North America. MonaVie was started in January 2005 by president and CEO Dallin Larson, who has worked in the networking business for over 17 years. MonaVie is now the one of the largest users of the acai berry in the United States.
Scientists have continued studying the power of this tiny berry's ability to remove free radicals from the body induced aging and the environment.
Many of the improvements people have found after drinking the juice range from a higher level of energy and feeling less tired throughout the day, as well as sleeping better at night to better joint health. These antioxidants that MonaVie includes prevent the cell destruction that often causes harmful effects on the body because these fruits are not only organic; coming from the Amazon, they are wild.
The combination of many fruits in MonaVie gives the consumer the maximum phytonutrients with fruits such as pomegranates, purple and white grapes, pears, cranberries, passion fruit, bananas, apricots, prunes, kiwis and blueberries.
In addition, there are more exotic fruits, which include the nashi pear from eastern Asia, bilberries, wolfberries, lychee from China and acerola fruit from the West Indies and northern South America. Even with this mixture, they still find a way for it to taste good, giving it a stronger grape taste and making it enjoyable to drink. The nutrients are maintained in a process called flash pasteurization in which the fruits are heated for about 15 to 30 seconds and then quickly cooled. This allows the taste and color to remain the same while killing microbes and keeping the beneficial phytonutrients intact.
There are two forms of the juice beverage: Movavie and MonaVie active, which includes everything the other juice has just adding esterified fatty acids and glucosamine hydrochloride to help maintain healthy joints. By consuming about two to four ounces a day, or by eating the one-ounce gel packet, you can get your needed nutrients and antioxidants.

My husband and I have been drinking MonaVie for a year and the results so far are considerable. The biggest change is the lowered cholesterol. When we began selling it, we also found that others eventually began commenting on the benefits. (Continued…)

I got some kind of breakout from (stupidly)lying on my lawn after the trees and bushes were sprayed. From August to January, I had hives-like breakouts in the middle of the night, all through the day. (Continued…)
