6. What does ORAC mean?

An acronym for oxygen radical absorbance capacity, ORAC is a way to measure the antioxidant capacity of a food. Foods with high ORAC values are desirable for their ability to neutralize free radicals, thus inhibiting the ability of the free radical to cause cell damage. The ORAC measurement was developed by a scientist at the National Institute of Aging in 1992 and has been a valuable tool in quantifying health benefits associated with consuming fruits, vegetables, and other antioxidant-containing foods and supplements.

MonaVie's premier açai blends are designed to help you maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.

Balance! Variety! Moderation!

Each of MonaVie's health minded products feature an exclusive blend of the Brazilian açai berry (one of nature's top superfoods) and 18 other body ~ beneficial fruits, including cupuaçu, camu camu, aronia, acerola, blueberry, bilberry, and pomegranate. 

With a blend of 19 fruits,including açai, MonaVie is a unique and delicious nutritional beverage. The açai berry is the foundation of the MonaVie blend, but with literally thousands of phytonutrients and antioxidants found in nature's fresh fruits, MonaVie didn't want to focus on just one at the expense of others. This led to MonaVie's selection of 18 additional fruits, each selected for its unique, beneficial properties and ability to contribute a variety of phytonutrients and antioxidants to MonaVie's premier nutritional beverage. Together, the synergistic effect of the fruits in the MonaVie blend reaches far beyond what any single fruit could accomplish.
