Antioxidants & Your Health

MonaVie features a delicious blend of the Brazilian açai berry—one of nature’s top superfoods—and 18 other body-beneficial fruits. This Balance-Variety-Moderationapproach to nutrition delivers powerful antioxidants and phytonutrients to help fight free radicals and maintain your body’s overall health. Consider that every cell in our body receives 10,000 oxidative hits every day and you have reason enough to make sure that your body has enough antioxidants to combat these hits.
The Acai berry contains the highest level of antioxidants and has the highest ORAC rating of any food known to man.   ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity and is a measure of how well antioxidants absorb the free radicals. The FDA recommends 5,000 ORAC units per day for optimum health.  An average person consumes only 20 – 30% of this.
MonaVie’s delicious blend of body-beneficial fruits is designed to nourish your body with powerful antioxidants and nutrients.
