You can literally live on Acai ~ for at least several months


Acai is like having a SUPERHERO in your body!


Scientifically, the Açaí berry stands up to the praise and scrutiny. This little, dark purple berry that dangles in clusters from the 25 foot Açaí palm is nature's perfect food.

Why? It contains:

  • The protein profile of an egg
  • Essential fatty acids (omega 3,6 and 9) similar to olive oil
  • A low glycemic index
  • A leading source of anthocyanins, often reported as 30 times that of the protective potential of red wine. (One of the many attributes of anthocyanins is its anti-inflammatory qualities)
  • High in fiber
  • More than 16 phytonutrients and anti-oxidants
  • Copious amounts of trace (i.e. Co, Cr) and macro minerals (i.e. Ca, Fe)
  • Packed with vitamins, including natural vitamin E (mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols)
  • An excellent source of plant sterols, particularly Beta-Sitosterol which is associated with cholesterol lowering capabilities.
Recently, modern science has validated the remarkable health benefits of this fruit, and studies have shown Açaí to contain the following beneficial nutrients:

  • Anthocyanins (powerful antioxidants)
  • Phytonutrients
  • Essential fatty acids (Omega 3, 6, and 9)
    Amino acids
  • Vitamins and minerals
  • Complex carbohydrates
  • Dietary fiber
  • Trace minerals
Studies have also shown that freeze-dried Açaí powder has an ORAC score that is 79 times higher than that of red grapes and an anthocyanin (purple colored antioxidants) level that is 20-30 times that of red wine. The final blend of MonaVie incorporates the flavors and benefits of the Açaí berry and other healthful and delicious fruits.
