Food For Thought Monthly E-Zine

People may have heard of Monavie but they still wonder, "What's the difference?
Why can't I just get Acai juice anywhere?" If you reallly want to know WHY not all Acai is the same...let's check it out!

To begin with - not every BODY is the same. MonaVie starts with the basics that everyone needs to get certain nutrients including anti-oxidants in our diet everyday. The vast majority of us just can't practically do it because we eat on the run, we eat processed food, or we are so stressed, that we just need extra nutrition to keep our body healthy! So the need is for densely nutritious and readily available, healthy food options. Enter Monavie's 3 blends- each with a targeted health benefit. Each blend covers the basics of having the most powerful antioxidants possible to put in your body to fight free radical damage caused by oxidative stress daily. If you picture a cut-in-half apple that starts to turn brown when left expose to air, you can imagine what's happening to our cells each day when exposed to similar "stress." We can fight off the damage of this stress with anti-oxidants in fresh fruits and vegetables that we eat. However, if you eat on the run, eat overly processed food, or just don't get the quantity needed, the cellular stress adds up!
So, whether your need is for this basic nutrition, or also includes your joints, or your heart health...we've got a blend for you! Ours is the PREMIER Acai blend...which means, that for many reasons, it simply is the BEST.

First of all our freeze-dried and acai pulp comes from the best QUALITY sources when harvesting acai in Brazil; no second or third- rate berries are allowed. MonaVie always purchases the BEST quality when

harvesting acai, and they do not skimp when it comes to paying for the best PROCESSING available either. Some companies buy lower quality acai berries to save money and then they use cheaper methods of processing the berries for juice, which strips the nutrition out of the fruit! These lower quality berries have less pulp meaning fewer flavonoids (the good stuff in colored fruit), lower fatty-acid content (the healthy fats you WANT in your diet), and less nutritional value to your body when you consume it. In other words, if you pay LESS - you are getting what you paid for. (LESS)

MonaVie's berries are processed using a unique freeze-drying procedure, and frozen puree, which maintains 100% of the phytonutrient content of the berry. Other processing methods like spray-drying, air-drying or dehydrating diminishes the nutrition of the acai berry (or other fruits) by half or more! The dense puree that goes into MonaVie products contains a high percentage of healthy fats from the acai berry. But this high fat content makes the puree difficult to blend into juice. Many companies clarify their puree to remove the beneficial fats, It may be easier to blend a juice that is clarified.. but MonaVie isn't after easier for themselves - they are after healthier for YOU, so they leave all those healthy fats in the juice - for your health benefit! Yeah!

You can be assured that when it comes to quality and processing costs, MonaVie's pledge does not allow for the introduction of lower quality acai berries into its products or shortcuts in processing just to save money. Oh, and there have been several scientific studies on our acai and our blends too, so if proof of quality is a high priority to you before consuming MonaVie....we've got studies!

Finally, Monavie carries this excellence in quality and processing values all the way from harvesting to finished product delivered to your home. The superiority of QUALITY and CONTENT of MonaVie's Acai juice is why we truly are the PREMIER Acai blend. And that is why we are very proud to share it!
