Health Science Institute - "Nature's Perfect Food"Discover the amazing health benefits of the fruit from the Amazon's "tree of life." July 2003 by Judy Douglas
There's got to be a better way to get these valuable nutrients than guzzling wine and drowning in oil. As it turns out, there is. I learned about it from HSI panelist Jon Barron. He told me about a single superfood from the Amazon that, fresh from the tree, can provide over 30 times the amount of anthocyanins as red wine and all the beneficial fatty acids of olive oil in one delicious, all-natural package. 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. Get the healing power of many phytonutrients in one delicious package.Source: Health Science Institute

Coping with the effects of Aging, Loss of Flexibility & Mobility

In order to address the issues of aging, loss of flexibility and mobility MonaVie has added two new natural substances to the Original formula - Introducing MonaVie Active !!

MonaVie Active contains Celadrin which lubricates and revitalizes the membranes that cushion joints and bones while Glucosamine restores flexibility and is the natural building block for healthy cartilage. MonaVie Active is extremely beneficial for those who suffer from joint pain, muscle pain and inflammatory conditions such as arthritis. By helping to repair the previous damage done to your body, the doors are opened for you to regain your active, joyous life!

Celadrin® is an all natural proprietary ingredient, that has been clinically proven to reduce pain and rapidly promote joint health, improving flexibility and mobility. Clinically studied at various times in Vivo, it has been published twice in the prestigious Journal of Rheumatology. Available for oral and topical applications, Celadrin's beneficial effects have been proven superior in results to Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, SAMe and other arthritic medications.

Glucosamine -The "GAIT" Glucosamine/Chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial - Glucosamine Effectiveness (13 Universities - United States Study) Highlights: After five years of recruiting, testing and analyzing, this trial excitingly reports, “Combination glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate is effective in treating moderate to severe knee pain due to osteoarthritis.”



No expense has been spared in creating these two blends - It is recommended that young children & pregnant ladies drink MonaVie Original. Since I mentioned pregnancy - Can imagine the advantage to mom and child for mom to drink MonaVie Original throughout the pregnancy?!!


The way this product has impacted our lives personally from a health standpoint is life changing. Hands down the best thing we have done for our health...PERIOD. It has also opened our eyes to other healthy eating habits. 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 HEALTHIER LIVING 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).


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. Conversations were focusing on positive issues and ways to improve our lives and the lives of our family.


No matter what your motivation - it will change your life in a positive way. It is a "no brainer" to consume a product whos natural side effect is...BETTER HEALTH. Remember you cannot feel prevention or maintenance!!

Lower Your Cholesterol Naturally

What Should I expect?

The most common mistake is to stop eating healthy foods or stop taking your vitamins (Juice form or pill form) because you don't feel anything?!

When was the last time someone asked you to eat a banana and call them when the potassium started working? NEVER! So why do we always expect to FEEL something in order to validate nutritional VALUE?

I like to say, "Drinking MonaVie 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, alleviating FIBROMYALGIA pain, improved eyesight, and the list goes on and on.

But a common mistake is to stop drinking your Monavie 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 webpage www.thegreatproduct.com/news

The antioxidant level in MonaVie is unmatched. Don't be fooled by other products just because they have the acai berry in them. The most crucial time to preserve the antioxidants in the acai berry is when it is picked. Fact is, MonaVie utilizes a patented process to preserve the nutrients of the acai berry as they are imported to the United States. Any other product using the acai berry DOES NOT have the same nutritional value as the acai berry found in MonaVie!

Based on USDA DATA - the acai berry is 500 - 1000% higher in antioxidant activity than any other fruit or vegetable.

The following is an example of ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) testing scores in the foods we eat -

Tomato = 60
Cherry = 100
Broccoli = 130
Red Raspberry = 210
Blueberry = 260
Acai = 1027!!!

For the longest the greatest antioxidant in controlling super oxide free radicals was sprouted wheat grass - Acai is 3-4 times more powerful.

One final note of importance before I leave this topic is make sure that when a company talks about ORAC scores and testing - they are most likely giving the scores per 100 grams - MonaVie scores are per SINGLE gram!!!!

So remember don't think just because you don't feel something different when drinking MonaVie & other healthy ingredients that they are not working & fighting on your healths behalf.
