Truth about ACAI

The U.S. market is being filled with products that include ACAI as demand continues to increase. While other products use ACAI, MonaVie has become the leading company in research about the fruit and the best ways to transport preserve and use it in a high quality product.



The key to MonaVie is that the benefits of the ACAI berry are delivered through both ACAI puree and freeze-dried ACAI powder, the most effective and concentrated form of ACAI. MonaVie freezes the fresh ACAI berry to preserve the fruits nutrients. Then at a very low heat, it removes all of the moisture from the ACAI berry – leaving behind pure ACAI powder. This freeze-dried ACAI powder, on a gram-for-gram basis, has an ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) score of 1,027 one the highest of any fruit or vegetable tested to date. Foods with high ORAC values are desirable for their ability to inhibit free radical activity.



In addition, MonaVie differs from other products that also use the ACAI berry because it contains a higher level of solids. If you take the fruit and make it into a juice, there’s a certain level of pulp solids. Most of the ACAI that’s shipped to the United States from Brazil has ranges of solids of around 7 to 11 percent. MonaVie uses an ACAI puree that’s 14 to 15 percent solids. This puree contains less water and is consequently, more expensive.



MonaVie may be the only functional-health-beverage company that leaves these fats in. Raw juice is easier to blend. MonaVie feels that obtaining the real, complete benefit of the ACAI berry involves leaving in those healthy fats. Sometimes our product separates in the bottle and you can see

Monavie A Gift From The Amazon

Hi Everyone,

I want to tell you about a product I started taking to help my surgically repaired knee. It’s called Monavie and it has done wonders for me and my knee pain. I started taking it about 4 weeks ago and have almost no knee pain and have absolutely no swelling anymore. For the past 3 years since my surgery I have had constant knee pain and swelling. Although the doctor fixed my knee, I got real bad arthritis and my knee would swell after do what I love most, being active. I coach youth baseball and football and love running around and working with the kids, but he pain afterwards started to take its toll.

Monavie’s main ingredient is the ACAI Berry, along with 19 other fruits. It’s loaded with Antioxidants and PhytoNutrients. This all natural product from the Amazon Rain Forest has been a miracle for me and my family. Its health benefits are endless and you need to look at this product for yourself.



Statistically cancer has increased by 40% in 40 years and is set to rise every year. The number of people that have developed Alzheimer’s has increased every year since 2000, Heart Disease is increasing every year, Depression is also on the rise, Obesity has doubled in 10 years, Diabetes has also doubled in that same time frame, Auto Immune Diseases and many other diseases are increasing statistically year after year!!
On the Today Show (4/24/08), it was stated that the average life span for 1 out 5 women is actually decreasing while people suffering with diseases is increasing!! The United States ranks 42 in the world for life expectancy

So you're friend had weight loss surgery that they weren't mentally prepared for and didn't change any habits or learn anything new - which is very typical of weight loss surgery patients - but you really think that this product was the answer?

I'd strongly doubt it...

And asking people to PM you- is pretty much spamming - if oyu want a discussion on this "wonder product" you can have it -here -there's no need for people to email you

I am not saying this is a weight loss miracle by any means. But if you research the product you will find that it has a lot of facts behind it. Dr. Alex Schauss and Dr. Rinn talk about Monavie it great length regarding weight loss and high blood pressure and other aliments that go along with being over weight. The reason for people to contact me is I can’t give out the websites here that promote the facts. That would be spamming. But if you’re interested in knowing more contact me and I will give you the websites and you make the choice for yourself. Thank you for your reply and welcome any question about a product that I believe in.

Another thing about ACAI Berry is its the only true Super Food. This informaton can be found in a book called (The Perricone Promise) Dr. Perricone goes into great details about the benifets of the ACAI Berry.

Where can I buy this? This sounds unreal1!11111!!11

Oh, and even the shittiest of sales gimmicks are backed by facts. With the amount of research that's done today on things like weight loss, you can pretty much paint any ridiculous picture you want using 'facts.'

Couple this with the fact that hardly anyone understands how to interpret data and scientific results and you've got yourself an easy entry to push a bullshit product.

Wow Dr Perricone suggests it - that book is nothing more than an advertisement for his over priced creams and vitamins and I wouldn't take anything in his book as gospel...

Glaceau makesa Vitamin water, the XXX flavor that's Acai, blueberry and pomegranite and is really tasty and refreshing - and has no weight loss properties whatsoever... maybe it's the blueberrry and pomegranite that counterbalance the good thigs in acai

There are also other doctors like Dr. Alex Schauss and Dr. Roger Rinn that talk about ACAI and its benifets along with what Monavie can do for you. Unless you have tried the product and done the research pleae dont bad moujth it and maybe try it and give it a chance. Its also a great business plan for those interested, but thats not the reasonfor my postings.

My mother and her fiancee bought some Monavie or whatever. It just tastes like juice, and it doesn't make me feel any different. So, no its not a miracle- I have tried it, so don't say that I am 'just bad mouthing" something I haven't tried.

BTW- there are products just like MonaVie, basically the same ingredients that are half the price. So even if it was a miracle weight loss solution- I sure wouldn't buy MonaVie over the cheaper version that is exactly the same.

I never said this was a mircle. It isa very good product and the company makes no claims at all. Alll the claims have been made by people taking it and quiet a few doctors that are much smater than than us. As for the price its no more money than other juices that compare themselfs to Monavie. Also if the product didnt work maybe you were not taking it right. Can you please tell me how much you were taking and how many times day? Alsolike any other product it dosent work for everyone, so if thats the case with you and you were taking it right your the exception not the rule. The fiber in Monavie alone has to make you loose weight alteast for the first couple of weeks.

Speak for yourself...

I sure as shit don't want to be lumped in the same category as you.

I also sure as shit don't bow down to an individual simply b/c they wear the Dr. Hat. I've seen my fair share of 'Drs' pimping products and I've talked my fair share of them into corners.

Just b/c you are a doctor doesn't mean you are any more mentally equipped than the next Joe.

mmkaythanx.

That's how people convince others to do Crack and Meth.

My belief is that a good product sells itself to me. If it needs a salesman it probably doesnt work properly. It's also hard for me to take your opinion seriously when your username is Monavie Health. Dont get me wrong, I love beer but I am not running around on beer forums with the username Blue Moon trying to convince people it is the second coming of Christ.


The best strategy for you is to post your experience with the product and leave it at that. You can say Dr. IknowMoreThanYou supports it, but that doesnt tell me anything. For all I know he is a doctor working for the company that sells it. I rather hear about how you used it, why you used it and how it helped you. That gives me more information than a scientific study.
