I learned about it from HSI panelist Jon Barron.

And this is just the beginning of this food?s health benefits. It's virtually impossible to over-do this food - which is certainly not the case with red wine or olive oil.

By helping to repair the previous damage done to your body, the doors are opened for you to regain your active, joyous life!<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>Celadrin®</strong> is an all natural proprietary ingredient, that has been clinically proven to reduce pain and rapidly promote joint health, improving flexibility and mobility.

It is amazing how you will react once you are introduced to such a powerful change in your life. You kinda get the attitude of what else can I change to get healthier? Why stop here? Whether you just drink MonaVie regularly or you are a distributor and get involved in the business aspect - I see a natural reaction or knee jerk reaction to migrate towards <span style="color:#993399;"><strong>HEALTHIER LIVING</strong></span> choices. It might be at the grocery store or it could be a subtle change in the material you are reading (Internet searches, magazines, cook books, recipes).<br /><br /><br />We started noticing that we were watching more & more health news related subjects. Reading the labels of the rest of the food we were preparing for our family.

NEVER! So why do we always expect to FEEL something in order to validate nutritional VALUE?<br /><br />I like to say, "Drinking <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">MonaVie</span> will help 100% of the people who drink it, but not 100% of people who drink it will fell anything." In my experiences, Yeah - most people can see an improvement in at least one or more of the following - ENERGY levels, SLEEPING sounder or sleeping all night for the first time in years, seeing a decrease in joint pain, helping with GOUT symptoms, <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">alleviating</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">FIBROMYALGIA</span> pain, improved eyesight, and the list goes on and on.<br /><br />But a common mistake is to stop drinking your <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Monavie</span> because you don't feel a difference. When was the last time you felt an antioxidant fight a free radical in your body? By the way, I have a wonderful, short video that shows "How Antioxidants Work" on my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">webpage</span> <a href="http://www.thegreatproduct.com/news">www.thegreatproduct.com/news</a><br /><br />The antioxidant level in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">MonaVie</span> is unmatched. Don't be fooled by other products just because they have the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">acai</span> berry in them. The most crucial time to preserve the antioxidants in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">acai</span> berry is when it is picked. Fact is, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">MonaVie</span> utilizes a patented process to preserve the nutrients of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">acai</span> berry as they are imported to the United States. <span style="color:#ff0000;">Any other product using the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">acai</span> berry DOES NOT have the same nutritional value as the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">acai</span> berry found in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">MonaVie</span>!</span><br /><br />Based on USDA DATA - the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">acai</span> berry is 500 - 1000% higher in antioxidant activity than any other fruit or vegetable.<br /><br />The following is an example of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">ORAC</span> (Oxygen Radical <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Absorbance</span> Capacity) testing scores in the foods we eat -<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">Tomato</span> = 60<br /><span style="color:#990000;">Cherry </span> = 100<br /><span style="color:#009900;">Broccoli </span> = 130<br /><span style="color:#ff6666;">Red Raspberry</span> = 210<br /><span style="color:#000099;">Blueberry</span> = 260<br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;"><span style="color:#663366;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Acai</span> </span> </span> = <span style="color:#663366;">1027!!!</span><br /><br />For the longest the greatest antioxidant in controlling super oxide free radicals was sprouted wheat grass - <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Acai</span> is 3-4 times more powerful.<br /><br />One final note of importance before I leave this topic is make sure that when a company talks about <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">ORAC</span> scores and testing - they are most likely giving the scores per 100 grams - <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">MonaVie</span> scores are per SINGLE gram!!!!<br /><br />So remember don't think just because you don't feel something different when drinking <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">MonaVie</span> & other healthy ingredients that they are not working & fighting on your healths behalf.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thegreatproduct.com/news">www.thegreatproduct.com/news</a><br /><br />Till we meet...Marty G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18217582219633979923noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603374746026337414.post-1403751211400706622007-12-29T08:08:00.000-08:002007-12-29T08:12:39.524-08:00Look Who's Drinking MonaVie!!I just saw an interview of Rodney Harrison of the NFL Champions New England Patriots & over his shoulder should appear...a bottle of MonaVie Active!!!
