Monavie Acai

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

The Acai Fruit pronounced as “ah-saw-ee” has its deep roots of consumption among traditional Brazilian tribes. Brazilians are using Acai for medical reasons, health benefits and a part of their daily diet plan. In 1990s Brazilian Acai production was adversely effected as many Acai harvesters started to cut down the palm trees to sell wood and timber to live on. Brazilian Acai came out of its motherland to the western world in early 2000s. It was the time when different multinational companies discovered Acai as a great food and invested into new Acai health food business; they invested in different lines of Acai business. Some companies started exporting freeze-dried Acai berry fruit to the west, while some who had strong financial position encouraged Brazilians to harvest Acai on mass scale rather than cutting down the palm trees by sharing a percentage of profit from their Acai business.

Though Sambazon Acai Company was the pioneer to bring Acai into USA in early 2000 still there are some good fast growing Acai companies who are giving tough time to Sambazon Acai business. They more or less compete with the Sambazon Acai products. MonaVie is one of the strong competitors of Sambazon Acai. MonaVie is a networked company which sells health drinks to USA people through a network of Acai health product distributors. Daillin Larsen – health food marketing expert founded the MonaVie with an idea in his mind to design a health drink with unique properties which are not offered by his other heath drink manufacturers. Daillin formed the MonaVie to design a health drink based on purest Brazilian Acai berry benefits. Some of the MonaVie Acai products are known as MonaVie Acai Drink or MonaVie Acai Juice, MonaVie Pulse and MonaVie Pulse Gel. Currently MonaVie is selling its Acai Juice in USA, Brazil, Canada, Australia and Japan with an expansion plan to the worldwide markets.  MonaVie Acai Juice is claimed to be of best quality and highly nutrient health product available in the Acai market.

The Brazilian Acai berry is the heart of MonaVie Acai drink. Each MonaVie Acai Juice is extracted from the pure Acai berries coming from the Palm Trees in Brazil. The MonaVie Acai berries are rich in antioxidants with essential fatty acids, provide lipids and Vitamin B& C more then found in milk.  MonaVie Acai berries are harvested around the beaches of Amazon River in Brazil and a special preservation method is used for the preservation of natural benefits in the MonaVie Acai berries.  One of the best processing methods is used in the making of MonaVie Acai powder which contains the all nutrient benefits that can only be found in pure Brazilian Acai berries.  Each and every bottle of MonaVie Acai juice is tested and tasted before and after hitting the USA market. MonaVie Acai products are taken by health conscious people; both men and women over 30 who are victims of high cholesterol level, heart patients can consume the MonaVie Acai products as a part of their diet plan.

Many Acai products are now reaching into the Acai health products market; therefore for a new Acai customer it’s not easy to find a pure Acai product from which he or she gets the maximum Acai benefits. MonaVie Acai is the right choice for them to have a great beginning with the best quality Acai product. MonaVie Acai berries are frozen and stored shortly after they are picked up from the palm trees rather than using and artificial heating process to freeze-dry the Acai berries. MonaVie Acai drink price is a little high and sometimes goes out of the purchasing power of common customers but this high price is offset against the MonaVie Acai juice which comes with a blend of 19 other health fruits juices which makes MonaVie Acai the best and the healthiest product available in the market.

Açaí with the Kayapo in Brazil

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

The Kayapo Indigenous group of Pará, Brazil eat wild açaí that grows in their protected rain forest. The health of the Kayapo and the rain forest are in constant jeopardy. Loggers and miners threaten to deforest the area as big as the size of New York State. The Kayapo need to generate a sustainable income from their renewable forest products to meet their needs and ward of the mass infiltration in their area. Dr. Rodolfo Salm, tropical biologist and Dr. Lisa Feder, cultural anthropologist, are raising the money to reforest barren lands with açaí trees, a source of nutrition for the Kayapo and a potential source of sustainable income for this people. For more information, contact Lisa Feder at lkf7@cornell.edu.
