What Ingredients Are In Monavie

A lot of traffic to my blog comes in from searches like "MonaVie label," "MonaVie ingredients," etc. The following was sent to me from a MonaVie Blue Diamond:



As per MonaVie:

To be compliant with food labeling laws set by the US Food and Drug Administration, the label states: Fruit juice from concentrate (white grape, nashi pear, acerola, aronia, purple grape, cranberry, passion fruit, apricot, prune, kiwi, blueberry, wolfberry, pomegranate, and lychee, camu camu).

WHY Juice from concentrate is widely regarded as having the same nutritional content when it is reconstituted as it would from a fruit juice that has not been concentrated. Even with this in mind MonaVie takes an extra step utilizing fruit juices that have gone through a gentle concentration methodology as an extra precaution not to affect the nutritional value or create any flavor loss.

The following is a list of the nutrition facts for MonaVie Original and Active Juices. While the exact amounts are proprietary, we can tell you that the ingredients appear on the label in order by amount from greatest to least. This means that because a?ai is the first ingredient listed on the label, there is more a?ai in the MonaVie products than any other single ingredient. The eighteen additional fruits have been added to MonaVie?s premier acai blend for the purpose of adding to the product?s nutritional spectrum to provide you with a variety of antioxidants
