Mona Vie Active

Mona Vie is without a doubt the largest bottler of acai juice, although there is a lot of speculation about how much actual juice from acai is in each bottle.  

Since this network marketing company flooded the United States (and since then, 20+ other countries) in early 2006, there have been many thousands of over-eager fans claiming the product cured their particular disease.

Naturally, with all that attention, Mona Vie has recieved more than it's fair share of lawsuits against the company too. Despite all the recent bad press, they do make a very tasty, if overpriced, product that we wouldn't feel right to leave out of our reviews. 

The Active line, our favorite of the three, features a well-considered Acai berry juice blend with 18 other super-healthy fruits. The Mona Vie product line includes two other types of juice, both variations of the same 18 fruit juice blends. They all come in stylish glass bottles, and also in 1-ounce gel packs.

Can I Buy Mona Vie Active in Stores?

Not usually. The Mona Vie company only wants these things sold person to person, where they make money off of memberships, not product. (Ok both, to tell the truth.) However, some real fans who are members and happen to own stores and health clubs have been spotted selling to their members with little to no markup of price.

To find some Mona Vie, I suggest YouTube... Surely you can even find a dozen or so MV distributors in your own city through youtube that would be oh-so-happy to let you try a bottle today. 

What does a bottle of Mona Vie Active Cost?

The retail price for a 25.35 Ounce (3/4 liter) bottle of Mona Vie is just under $40. Fortunately, if you choose to be a regular customer you can get a 10% dicount for ongoing orders, and better yet, if you join Mona Vie as a distributor for a one-time $39 fee, you'll get almost half off each and every bottle you order. (Just don't let them fool you that you'll get rich through their distributorship program... You won't.)

That's still pretty expensive though; Why is Mona Vie so popular?

Mona Vie products have had more media attention than all other Acai berry products due to their extreme apparent health benefit, great publicity campaign, and having published the highest of all ORAC scores. None of their competitors put on such a great show of parading scientists past you to persuade you that this stuff is basically a fountain of youth in a bottle.

What is Mona Vie Active's ORAC value?

Since Mona Vie's patended flash-freezing process claims that it is the only one to lock in 1,027 of ORAC per gram, they are more than happy to tell you about it on all of their marketing literature. They even take it a step further to combine that flash-frozen powder with whole berries (seed & all) so that you get all of the Omega 3, 6, & 9s that were lost to freezing. (Many other Acai berry juices don't do that part... It's not easy to chop the seeds up that fine!)

What is ABP's affiliation with Mona Vie? Are you really a distributor in disguise?

Nope. Not at all. We sell absoutlutely nothing here, but we are sometimes mona vie customers. You won't find any links to Mona Vie products on this site. (Unless they offer coupons one day, which I highly doubt.) 

What's the difference bettween Mona Vie Active and Mona Vie Original?

Active, with the green cap, is the middle product line with added glucosamine and some esterified fatty acids to help more active lifestyles. It's a few bucks more expensive but I believe that I can feel the difference between the two after a couple of doses, and I feel the active is better for me and my lifestyle.

You'll have to be the judge if you need the extra glucosamine, or want more of the pure berries. NOTE: We are not a third party vendor for MonaVie products, we are not affliated with MonaVie and we do not sell MonaVie Active or any MonaVie products.
