1.  What is açai?
   
   Açai is a small, round, black-purple berry with amazing nutritional properties. Its appearance is similar to that of a grape, but it has a smaller amount of pulp and a single large seed. Scientific experts have referred to the açai berry as the most nutritious and powerful food in the world.
    
2. Does açai have a high ORAC score?
   
   Yes, with an ORAC score of 1,026, the açai used in MonaVie boasts the highest ORAC score of any fruit or vegetable tested to date. The açai fruit is the star among other well-known antioxidants, such as blueberries, grapes, red wine, green tea, cranberries, and pomegranates. By comparison, açai has more than 10 times the antioxidant power of cranberries. Obtaining a variety of antioxidants through diet or supplementation is essential to maintaining good health.
    
3. What does ORAC mean?
   
   ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) is a way to measure the antioxidant capacity of a food. Foods with high ORAC values are desirable for their ability to inhibit free radical activity.
    
4. What fruits are included in Mona Vie, besides the Acai berry?
   
   In addition to the Acai berry, there are 18 fruits: White grape, Nashi pear, Acerola, Pear, Aronia, Grape, Cranberry, Passionfruit, Banana, Apricot, Prune, Kiwi, Blueberry, Bilberry, Wolfberry, Pomegranate, Lychee, and Camu berry.
   
   Only 17% of the population consumes the recommended 2 to 3 servings of a variety of fruits each day. By not getting our recommended intake of fruits, we are missing out on the health benefits of vitamins, antioxidants, phytonutrients and fiber, needed for optimal health and disease prevention. Hence, the development of Mona Vie, the perfect blend of nineteen rare and lesser-consumed fruits from around the world. One serving of Mona Vie each day contains a variety of the most nutritionally dense fruits available for families on the go and picky-eating children.
    
5. What are phytonutrients?
   
   Phytonutrients are dietary components that are somewhat new to the field of nutrition. Phytonutrients are powerful antioxidants and naturally occurring compounds that contribute to the flavor, color, and disease-resistance of plants (i.e., fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes). They have been shown to have beneficial effects on health and disease prevention. Maximum health benefits are derived from consuming a variety of phytonutrients with a full spectrum of colors and pigments, such as those found in MonaVie products.
   
   We include 19 deeply pigmented fruits from around the world, since this provides the widest spectrum of disease-fighting, health-enhancing phytonutrients and antioxidants. Order Now!
    
6. What are polyphenols?
   
   Polyphenols are a class of powerful antioxidants that are thought to be responsible for the French Paradox: the French have a diet relatively high in fat, yet have a decreased incidence of heart disease; this is attributed to the amount of polyphenols present in the grapes used to make French wines. MonaVie products contain a powerful variety of polyphenols, including anthocyanins. It is estimated that MonaVie products have 20–30 times the anthocyanins found in red wine.
    
7. What is glucosamine hydrochloride?
   
   Glucosamine hydrochloride is a natural compound found in the body that is used to help make and form cartilage. Glucosamine has also been shown to help lubricate, cushion, protect, and rebuild joints.
