MonaVie touted as a wonder juice

MonaVie juice a no-brainer choice for anyone looking to improve their overall health, according to its growing legion of converts and advocates.

MonaVie, which features high-mineral, high-antioxidant juice extracts from the Brazilian superfruit acai (pronounced ah-Sigh-ee) berry and 18 other fruits, is distributed by a growing stable of direct marketers.

A tasting event is planned for 3 p.m. Saturday, May 2, at the Hutchinson Event Center. Free samples will be provided.

“The big thing for me is the cholesterol control. I take the Pulse formula (in the red bottle) with plant sterols for cardiovascular health and to get away from taking medicines,” Novak Ardolf said. Pulse has antioxidant polyphenols.

The Active formula (in the green bottle) aids in muscle and joint health. The original purple bottle formula features the juice of 19 fruits, including the acai, an almost black purple berry about the size of a blueberry.

Users of MonaVie drink two ounces of the juice twice a day. Each bottle provides a week’s worth of juice. The juice includes the fruit pulp, which Novak Ardorf is a key to the nutrient punch of free-radical fighting antioxidants.
