Abstract

The safety of an açai (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) pulp enriched fruit and berry juice, MonaVie Active((R)), fortified with the functional ingredient, glucosamine, was studied. The beverage was found not to be mutagenic, clastogenic, cytotoxic, or genotoxic, as determined by the bacterial reverse mutation assay, chromosomal aberration assay, mouse micronucleus assay, and mammalian cell gene mutation (L5178Y) assay. The single dose LD50 based on a 14-day acute oral toxicity study is greater than 20,000mg/kgbw, the highest dose tested. In a repeat dose 90-day oral subchronic toxicity study by gavage, 220 animals were randomly assigned to a control group, an untreated group, or one of three experimental groups (10, 20 and 40g/kgbw). No treatment-related significant changes in body weight, food and water consumption, ophthalmology, organ weights, urinanalysis, hematological and clinical chemistry, or gross pathology, were observed in surviving animals compared to the control groups. Three animals died midway through the observation period (male, 20g/kgbw/day; male 40g/kgbw/day; and, female, 10g/kgbw/day). These animals died without preceding clinical symptoms, histopathological lesions, or evidence of injury to tissue or organs except for signs of suffocation/aspiration congestion, which was concluded to be due to problems with the gavage administration of the fluid test article, and not due to the test article itself. The NOEAL was determined to be 40g/kgbw/day for male and female rats, which was the highest dose tested. Phylloquinone (vitamin K1) content averaged 21.7mug/100g, comparable to amounts found in iceberg lettuce. In conclusion, the results provide additional experimental evidence that MonaVie Active((R)) juice is non-toxic. Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

A New Generation of MonaVie—Fortified Juice Blends

MonaVie Fortified Juice Blends

At Convention, distributors learned that an integral element in the future of MonaVie is unlocking the wellness potential of every product we deliver. Because MonaVie is dedicated to scientific research, our products will continue to be made better as we continue to learn more about their health-providing ingredients. In fact, our premier juice blends—MonaVie Essential (Original), MonaVie Active, MonaVie Pulse, and MonaVie (M)mūn—have already been enhanced* in five ways:

1. AcaVie. MonaVie now has a patented brand of acai; it’s called AcaVie, and it’s the most potent form of acai available anywhere in the world. Look for the AcaVie logo on MonaVie premier juice blends, as it’s your personal guarantee that you are getting the most superior acai products ever introduced into the market.

2. Enlivenox. Another patented ingredient exclusive to MonaVie, Enlivenox is a component of AcaVie and delivers 10 times more polyphenols than regular acai.

3. New superfruits. MonaVie premier juice blends now contain three new superfruits that deliver your body even more antioxidant power—jabuticaba, jucara, and maqui.

4. Fibersol-2™. With Fibersol-2, you can drink to your health with the confidence that the MonaVie juice you love is fortified with soluble fibers.

5. Vitamins A, C, E, B6 and B12. Again, more antioxidant power equals more protection against free radicals and oxidative stress.

By fortifying the MonaVie juice blends, we took our already powerful formulas and made them even better. Now offering greater benefits, our enhanced products help fight the damaging effects of oxidative stress while supporting your overall health.

“We commit to you that we will always make the best better,” Senior Vice President Jeff Graham said.

* The fortified products will be made available as existing inventories deplete based on sales.

Future MonaVie Products
In addition to our fortified juice blends, Jeff Graham also gave distributors at Convention a glimpse into the future of MonaVie products. Jeff announced that distributors can look forward to building their businesses with the help of 2-ounce single serving shots of MonaVie Active and MonaVie (M)mūn, as well as a line of MonaVie meal replacement products in the weight management category.

“We may not be the first to market,” Jeff said, “but I promise you we will be the best in market.”

Dr. Paul Clayton Joins MonaVie Scientific Advisory Board

MonaVie Scientific Advisory Board President Dr. Bernie Landes presented at Convention along with his fellow SAB members, Dr. Stephen T. Talcott, Dr. Penny Kris-Etherton, Dr. Nathan Wong, and Dr. Alex Schauss. Their collective message was straightforward: MonaVie has a unique commitment to scientific research that puts us at the cutting edge of science and nutrition.

“We do research on every MonaVie product and every single ingredient,” Dr. Schauss said. “What’s so exciting about what’s going on now is we are beginning to unravel how MonaVie and acai work and how so many people are experiencing so many different benefits from MonaVie products. The future of this company is so much bigger than you realize because we do quality research.”

Dr. Landes put an exclamation mark on the SAB’s presentation when he extended a surprise invitation to Dr. Paul Clayton, Ph.D., Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine, to join the MonaVie Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Clayton graciously accepted the invitation saying, “I genuinely believe that this is the most important place to be in public health.”
