For countless centuries, the people of the Amazon have revered this unique fruit for its nutritional content and prized it as a source of health and vitality. The remarkable nutritional content of açai is continually being documented by modern science. And because of its impressive antioxidant levels and extraordinary nutrient content, açai is now widely regarded as one of the world's top superfoods.
Açai contains the following beneficial nutrients:
- Antioxidants
- Phytonutrients
- Amino acids

Balance. Variety. Moderation. Each of the MonaVie® health-minded products feature an exclusive blend of the Brazilian açai berry—one of nature's top superfoods—and 18 other body-beneficial fruits, including cupuaçu, camu camu, aronia, acerola, blueberry, bilberry, and pomegranate.
With a blend of 19 fruits, including açai, MonaVie® health juice blends are bursting with the nutrition you need to feel and perform your best every day. The açai berry is the foundation of all the MonaVie® health juice blends, but with literally thousands of phytonutrients and antioxidants found in nature's fresh fruits, we didn't want to focus on just one at the expense of others. This led to our selection of 18 additional fruits, each selected for its unique, beneficial properties and ability to contribute a variety of phytonutrients and antioxidants to the MonaVie® premier nutritional beverages. Together, the synergistic effect of the fruits reaches far beyond what any single fruit could accomplish.

SCIENCE ESSENTIALS
While it is essential to life, oxygen can also have a detrimental effect on your health. As your body’s cells use oxygen to create energy, they also create a potentially damaging byproduct called free radicals.
WHAT ARE FREE RADICALS?
Free radicals are organic atoms or molecules that have an unpaired electron in their outer cellular ring. Since electrons have a tendency to exist in pairs, free radicals become unstable and latch on to electrons from other atoms and molecules in your body. This cycle creates a biological chain reaction that can damage cell membranes, accelerate the aging process, and contribute to certain ailments. Stress, lack of sleep, a poor diet, UV radiation, exercise, and pollution can all contribute to the formation of free radicals.
These unstable atoms can lead to a physiological imbalance in your body called oxidative stress. When this occurs, your body is unable to counter the damaging effects caused by these rogue molecules. This can be demonstrated by cutting an apple in half. As the fruit is exposed to air, it starts to turn brown. On a cellular level, the oxygen in the air is interacting with the cell wall of the apple’s tissues, creating free radicals.
WHAT ARE ANTIOXIDANTS?
Antioxidants are molecules capable of preventing free radicals from damaging healthy, functioning cells. By donating an electron to these unstable molecules, antioxidants help terminate this chain reaction before crucial damage occurs. Though your body inherently creates some antioxidants, these life-protecting phytonutrients are generally found in richly pigmented fruits and vegetables. While thousands of antioxidants are found in nature, polyphenols and flavonoids (a class of polyphenols) are two of the most effective.
WHAT ARE POLYPHENOLS?
Polyphenols are natural chemicals responsible for the color, flavor, and scent in fruits and vegetables. Deeply pigmented berries such as açai are especially high in these antioxidant compounds. Found mostly in the outer layer of fruits, polyphenols offer protection from harmful bacteria and ultraviolet light. In humans, polyphenols protect your body from oxidative damage and support cardiovascular health.
POWERFUL NUTRIENTS FIGHT AGAINST AGING
The MonaVie® premier juice blends contain powerful nutrients that aid your body in the fight against aging and other symptoms of oxidative stress. In fact, 120 ml just provide you with the antioxidant capacity of approximately 12–14 servings of common fruits and vegetables.

How much acai is in MonaVie Active®? The exact amount of açai, or of the other fruits, contained in our blend is not disclosed. This is considered one of the company’s greatest intellectual assets. However, the ingredients appear on the label in order, by amount, from most to least. This means that because açai is the first fruit listed under the active ingredients portion of the label, it is the most abundant fruit in the blend.
Is MonaVie Active® juice safe for children and pregnant or nursing women? MonaVie Active® contains glucosamine hydrochloride, which has been extensively tested and found to be safe and effective; however, tests involving pregnant and nursing women have been limited. Thus, MonaVie recommends that pregnant and nursing women consult their health care practitioners prior to use.
What are the active ingredients found in 120 ml of MonaVie Active® juice?
Açai berry (freeze-dried and pulp): 18 g
Glucosamine Hydrochloride: 1500 mg
What are the inactive ingredients found in MonaVie Active® juice?Water, white grape juice concentrate, apple juice concentrate, acerola juice concentrate, pear puree and juice concentrate, aronia juice concentrate, grape juice concentrate, cranberry juice concentrate, passion fruit juice concentrate, banana puree, prune juice concentrate, kiwi juice concentrate, bilberry puree, blueberry juice concentrate, cupuaçu puree, camu camu juice concentrate, wolfberry juice concentrate, pomegranate juice concentrate, lychee juice concentrate, natural flavour, citric acid (330), sodium benzoate (211), potassium sorbate (202).
What is the recommended use for MonaVie Active®? Drink 30 to 60 ml twice daily. Shake well before using. Refrigerate after opening. Do not use if safety seal is broken.
Does MonaVie Active® contain artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, or added sugar? No. MonaVie Active® is free of artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, and added sugar.
What is glucosamine hydrochloride? Glucosamine hydrochloride is a natural compound found in the body that is used to help make and form cartilage. Glucosamine has also been shown to help lubricate, cushion, and protect healthy joints.
How much glucosamine is added to MonaVie Active®? MonaVie Active® juice contains 1,500 mg of glucosamine in 120 ml. Many studies have been done on the effects of glucosamine and joint health. A set dosage of glucosamine has not been determined yet, but most clinical trials have used approximately 1,200–1,500 mg (1.5 g) of glucosamine per day. Because of this, this amount is generally accepted as a safe, effective dose.
Is one form of glucosamine more effective than another? There are three types of glucosamine: glucosamine hydrochloride (HCl), N-acetyl glucosamine, and glucosamine sulfate. Both glucosamine HCl and glucosamine sulfate are rapidly converted into “free” glucosamine in the stomach. So, from a physiological standpoint, they are equally effective. However, glucosamine HCl is 83 percent glucosamine, while glucosamine sulfate is only 65 percent glucosamine. We formulated MonaVie Active® juice with glucosamine HCl because this form of glucosamine contains the highest level of free glucosamine.
Is the added glucosamine in MonaVie Active® from a vegetarian source? The glucosamine hydrochloride in MonaVie Active® juice and MonaVie Active® gel is produced from a vegetarian source and is the only non-animal, nonshellfish form of glucosamine available. It can be consumed by people with shellfish allergies.

MonaVie Pulse® FAQ
What is MonaVie Pulse?
MonaVie Pulse features a blend of 19 fruits, including the superfruit açai. Delicious and refreshing, this nutritional juice is a rich source of powerful antioxidants and plant sterols. Studies have shown that incorporating plant sterols into your diet may support normal cholesterol levels.What are the key benefits of MonaVie Pulse?
- Studies suggest that eating a diet rich in plant sterols may be an effective way to lower cholesterol.
- Features plant sterols, which are a recommended addition to a cardio protective lifestyle.
- Provides a convenient and effective method for incorporating antioxidant polyphenols and plant sterols into your daily diet.
What fruits are in MonaVie Pulse?
Açai, concord grape, pineapple, apple, prickly pear, pomegranate, elderberry, yumberry, bilberry, blackberry, blueberry, cherry, cranberry, raspberry, aronia, acerola, strawberry, cupuaçu, and camu camu.Why were plant sterols (phytosterols) added to MonaVie Pulse? Aren’t these already found in açai?
Plant sterols, often called phytosterols, are naturally occurring fats found in plants. Açai, a source of healthy fats, does contain some phytosterols. By adding more plant sterols to MonaVie Pulse, the product is able to support a healthy heart and maintain existing healthy cholesterol levels.What are plant sterols?
Many plants include some substance known as plant sterols, phytochemical compounds found in the fatty tissues of plants. Wheat germ, sesame oil, wheat bran, and Brussels sprouts are rich in plant sterols. When plant sterols are consumed, they compete with cholesterol for absorption in the body. However, it is difficult to consume enough of these foods on a daily basis to derive enough plant sterols to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.How do plant sterols work?
From your body’s point of view, plant sterols look a lot like cholesterol. Studies suggest that as you eat a meal with sufficient amounts of plant sterols, the body absorbs less cholesterol because plant sterols actually compete with cholesterol for absorption in the body. A 120 ml serving of MonaVie Pulse provides 800 mg of plant sterols.Are plant sterols safe?
Numerous human and toxicological studies conducted with plant sterols have shown no adverse effects in most populations. However, if you have a specific concern, health condition, or question regarding the consumption of plant sterols, we recommend you consult with your physician prior to consuming MonaVie Pulse.Can pregnant or nursing women consume MonaVie Pulse?
If you are pregnant or nursing, we recommend you consult with your physician prior to consuming MonaVie Pulse.Can children consume MonaVie Pulse?
MonaVie Pulse is targeted for adults watching their cholesterol and concerned with heart health. Although MonaVie has taken steps to ensure this product is safe for consumption as a food, children should not normally be concerned with heart health or maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. Please consult with your pediatrician before including MonaVie Pulse in your child’s diet.Can I take MonaVie Pulse with my cholesterol-lowering medication?
Although MonaVie products are safe for consumption as food products, you should consult with your physician if you are concerned about ingredient contraindications.Can diabetics consume MonaVie Pulse?
Some diabetics are insulin dependent and others are not, so MonaVie Pulse will affect each individual differently. MonaVie Pulse contains 10 grams of total carbohydrate per 60 ml, which includes 8 grams of natural sugar from fruit. We advise individuals with medical conditions to consult with their physicians before consuming MonaVie Pulse.Why should I be concerned about my cholesterol?
According to the American Heart Association, elevated blood cholesterol is a major risk factor in cardiovascular health. Nearly 100 million Americans have elevated cholesterol (>200 mg/dL) and, oftentimes, they don’t even know it. Taking action now to maintain healthy cholesterol levels will help prevent such problems from arising.Cholesterol levels can often be modified by lifestyle changes, such as eating a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, and high in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. MonaVie Pulse contains plant sterols, which studies suggest play a key role in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range. Consuming plant sterols as a regular part of a healthy diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol provides another natural option in the maintenance of cardiovascular health.
Do governments or professional health associations recommend consuming plant sterols?
In the U.S., the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) suggests the use of plant sterols in conjunction with other lifestyle changes produces positive effects on cholesterol levels achieved through dietary means. (The NCEP is a branch of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health.)Have any clinical trials been done with plant sterols?
Plant sterols (phytosterols) have been clinically evaluated in many different populations, under different circumstances over the past 50 years. In a number of studies plant sterols have demonstrated the ability to improve cholesterol levels in humans. The health benefits of phytosterols have been well established, and public health authorities, such as the U.S. National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP), are beginning to include phytosterols as part of their dietary recommendations (NCEP, 2001).What is the recommended use for MonaVie Pulse?
Drink 30 ml to 60 ml twice daily with meals. A 120 ml serving provides 800 mg of plant sterols.Does MonaVie Pulse contain artificial flavours, colours, sweeteners, or added sugar?
No. MonaVie Pulse is free of artificial flavours, colours, sweeteners, and added sugar.Who do I contact if I have more product questions?
