MonaVie EMV Energy Drink
Here's a list of what's
inside this miracle juice and what it can do for you:
Fruit Blend:
Fundamental to MonaVie Energy is the acai berry. This precious berry has long
been a staple in the diet of Brazilian natives. Modern science is confirming
what Brazilian natives must have already known; that acai has many body
beneficial properties. Acai contains phytonutrients, essential fatty acids,
complex carbohydrates, and amino acids. The people of Brazil traditionally used
the acai berry as a source of energy. In addition to acai, MonaVie Energy
includes other naturally energizing fruits from the Amazon like acerola, cupuacu,
and camu camu. Apple, white grape, pear, and grape are also included.
Acai
Acai is a small, round, dark-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. Experts have referred to the acai berry as the
most nutritious and powerful food in the world.
Apple
The traditional apple being added to MonaVie is both delicious and nutritious.
Apples are rich in antioxidant polyphenols.
Acerola
A bright red, soft, and juicy fruit, acerola has been eaten for centuries by the
natives of the Antilles, Central America, and Northern South America. Also
called the Barbados cherry, acerola is known for having high concentrations of
ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, acting as an antioxidant.
Camu Camu
A low-growing shrub found throughout the Amazon, camu camu is round and red when
young and dark purple when ripe. These fruits are about the size of lemons and
contain a significant amount of vitamin C.
Cupuacu
This fruit originates in the south and southeastern parts of the Brazilian
Amazon. It is strong and pleasant smelling, known for its volatile aroma. The
endocarp is white and soft, the pulp having a sour and highly-flavored taste.
Grape
Grapes belong to the Vitaceae family and are grown and harvested worldwide. They
contain cardio-friendly antioxidants such as anthocyanins, ellagic acid, and
resveratrol.
Pear
Originally from Europe and Asia, pears have a soft, buttery, and somewhat grainy
texture. The white to cream-colored flesh of pears was once referred to as the
"gift of the gods."
Proprietary Energy Blend
Palatinose (Generic name: Isomaltulose)
Isomaltulose is a novel and natural carbohydrate energy source. It is found
naturally occurring in honey and sugar cane extract. This unique carbohydrate
metabolizes more slowly when compared to sucrose, (table sugar) and maltose
(malt sugar). Because it is not metabolized as quickly, energy levels are longer
and more sustained. Unlike other carbohydrates that are digested slowly,
isomaltulose is digested completely, which means no gastric discomfort like
those experienced by consuming sugar alcohols and fiber based sweeteners.
Isomalutose is also kinder to teeth than sucrose and is not readily fermented by
oral microbes. Recent studies of isomaltulose have shown it can help promote a
steady stream of energy over a longer period of time. The consumption of
isomaltulose when compared with sucrose and glucose leads to lower blood glucose
and lower insulin responses. This means that the body experiences a more gradual
rise in the sugar available to provide energy to the cells and a more gradual
decline; So the energy provided by isomaltulose is available to tissues that
need energy such as muscles and the brain longer than if sucrose was consumed.
These benefits may help consumers to avoid the peaks and valleys associated with
high sugar energy alternatives. Isomaltulose, is sweet and soluble and tastes
like sugar which makes it ideal for the production of the next-generation of
energy drinks. Most energy drinks are loaded with high fructose corn syrup and
caffeine for a quick jolt, but can often leave you feeling foggy and jittery.
Guarana
Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is a Brazilian herb that is considered "GRAS"
(generally recognized as safe). It has become a popular addition to energy
drinks due to its natural caffeine content. Traditionally, guarana has been used
as a safe and natural physical mental pick-me-up. Today, guarana is mostly used
for energy and performance.
Green tea
Cultivated originally in East Asia as a large shrub tree, green tea now grows
throughout Asia and parts of the Middle East and Africa. People have been
drinking green tea (Camellia sinensis) around the world for centuries. Studies
suggest that green tea has many health benefits due to its antioxidant
polyphenol content. Green tea may also help boost metabolism and increase
alertness primarily due to its natural caffeine content.
Maca
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is native to South America that has been used since
ancient times as a staple food crop. Maca has been long known in folklore for
its aphrodisiac and energizing properties. Also known as Peruvian ginseng,
animal and in vitro studies indicate that maca may have considerable promise as
an energizing plant. Maca has a long history of use as a medicinal plant used by
both men and women to improve a sense of well being.
Yerba mate
Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) is native to subtropical South America in
Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. From reports of traditional use, its
physiological effects are similar to (yet distinct from) more widespread
beverages like coffee and tea. Users report a mental state of wakefulness, focus
and alertness.
Ginseng
Ginseng (Panax ginseng) has been referred to as the king of all herbs. The root
offshoots to make ginseng are harvested after 4 to 6 years of growth. In China,
ginseng is widely used medicinally, to promote longevity and is said to improve
quality of life.
D-Ribose
Ribose is a carbohydrate that when combined with other components form the
energy currency of the cell. Ribose can serve as a precursor to stimulate the
production of ATP (cell energy) in laboratory studies. The theory behind
consuming large amounts of ribose is that it may maximize ATP stores and,
therefore, increase cellular energy stores.
L-tyrosine
L-tyrosine, a non-essential amino acid, is a precursor to adrenaline (ephedrine)
naturally formed in the body. Because of its role in the body, tyrosine may be
involved with helping the body cope with stressful situations.
Acerola (Vitamin C)
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin needed by the
body for hundreds of vital metabolic reactions. Due to relatively new research,
intake requirements (RDA) for vitamin C have been increased. Vitamin C's
involvement in multiple metabolic pathways and its antioxidant properties, make
it an important nutrient to consume daily to help maintain proper cell
metabolism and tissue health.
B-complex Vitamins
B-complex consists of essential vitamins important for many physiological and
metabolic functions. B vitamins are essential for the metabolism of
carbohydrates and fat into energy. The B-complex vitamins included in MonaVie
VieVa are vitamins B3, B5, B6, and B12.
