Mona Vie Formula
Mona Vie is a potent new juice blend of 19 fruits with its main ingredient the Acai berry. MonaVie Ingredients comes in 2 different formulations — Original containing the 19 fruits with the Acai berry, and MonaVie Active which adds Glucosamine to help promote flexibility and joint health.

By pureeing each fruit in its entirety — flesh, skin and seed, the full complement of nutrients is captured. Fruits with the richest pigments and most intense colors were included for their peak levels of antioxidants and phyto-nutrients.
The Forgotten Fruits
The Mona Vie medical team realized full well that the world’s population at large was sorely lacking in the life-changing nutrients that come from some of nature’s most wondrous fruits. For most, their only fruit intake has become an occasional apple, banana or orange.
Cheaper, processed alternatives have replaced many of the Earth’s most powerful resources for optimum health — FRESH FRUITS from the richest soils of the world. Yet in this age of environmental pollution of air, water and food, the need for wholesome fruits has never been greater.
Knowing that proper intake of the RIGHT variety and balance of fruits could enormously benefit mankind, the Monarch scientific team declared its mission. Headed up by renowned scientist, Dr. Ralph Carson, they began their quest to identify and harness the potential of both everyday Forgotten Fruits and exotic fruits known only in remote locales to native populations.
One rule was paramount — compromise in the quality of Mona Vie’s ingredients was NOT an option. And regardless of cost, the formula MUST include a spectrum of fruits that would significantly impact the landscape of personal wellness and deliver SWIFT results. Delicious taste was also a firm requirement!
Mona Vie is a reconstituted puree from a proprietary blend of fruits from around the world described on this page. Click here to sample acai berry for free.
