MonaVie Offers Power Super Fruit with Punch

MonaVie might not look like the average health drink you find in your local grocery store. It actually looks more like a fine wine and cost just as much. Going for more than $25 to $30 a bottle, this sleek, black and shiny bottle stands out from other drinks promoting the same claims of nutritional power. You also will not even find MonaVie on any store shelf. It is sold through independent distributors and online. It has operations located throughout the world including in the United States, Brazil, Canada, Singapore, Japan, Australia, and Mexico to name a few. This luscious concoction is literally spreading across the globe. Many wonder why this exotic looking bottled juice is being marketed as the greatest juice concoction ever to be bottled. There are several reasons MonaVie is making quite a name for itself and enlisting believers and followers around the world. MonaVie’s main ingredient is the super fruit acai berry. This berry is becoming universally known for its high concentration of antioxidants. Some studies show the acai berry is actually the most concentrated natural source of antioxidants found on Earth. The acai berry is found exclusively in the tops of palm trees only located in the Amazon Rain Forest of South America.

Its rarity alone makes it a very expensive ingredient to get your hands on in its purest form. One claim making the rounds of medical studies which has caught the attention of folks looking for a super food is lab tests have shown the acai berry kills off 86% of leukemia cells in isolated tests. This is an astounding statistic to take in. If proven this effective in humans, you can easily imagine how in demand the acai berry in all its forms will soon become. Since this ‘super fruit’ is the primary ingredient in MonaVie, it is easy to see why it is attracting so much attention. While some might see the qualities of the acai berry as being exaggerated, it is hard to argue with the true benefits the acai berry has compared to other foods out there.

The acai berry is not the only selling point for investing in an expensive bottle of MonaVie. There are several formulas that suit different needs. MonaVie original is made up of the berry and 19 other fruit juices, each loaded with their own benefits to be appreciated. MonaVie Active has the benefits of original plus added celadrin and glucosamine which is shown to help with flexibility and joint health. It is advertised as increasing mobility for people with such conditions as arthritis. MonaVie Pulse is advertised as a drink to support cardiovascular health. It contains plant sterols which lower cholesterol and resveratrol. MonaVie E is promoted as a recharging health drink. It is lightly carbonated and is advertised as increasing performance, endurance and concentration. These specialty versions of the ever expanding MonaVie company serve to cater to a customer base which is interested in more than just an antioxidant drink.

Other ingredients in MonaVie are highlighted for their own health benefits. Passion fruit, which is proven to lower blood pressure and has antispasmodic properties, is also in the drink. Pomegranate juice is one ingredient which contains phytochemicals and anticarcinogenic and antifibrosis properties. Apricots, which stabilize blood pressure, and cranberries, long known for its antibiotic capabilities, are also on the list of the 19 additional ingredients. These are all beneficial fruits that when added to acai berry juice can really give you the extra nutrients you might not find in foods alone.

As with any health drink, there are precautions to pay attention to. Even though the ingredients of MonaVie are all natural and pure, the combination can be harmful if you take other nutritional supplements at the same time. You are also advised to not indulge in this drink too much if you are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment, pregnant, nursing, or trying to become pregnant. As with any high dose of any natural supplement, you need to discuss its consumption with a doctor.

While the benefits of MonaVie as a health drink really can’t be denied, marketing it as a cure-all promoting general well being might be a little exaggerated. It certainly is good for you in every way, but acai berry in other cheaper forms can be just as beneficial. As with most new health trends, natural is better but costing a fortune doesn’t mean it has super ability either. Spending the $25 on actual fruit for the fruit bowl rather than on an expensively packaged and marketed bottle of juice just may give you the same benefits.
