MonaVie, the premiere maker of acai berry juices, has just come out with a new product. Appropriate for today’s hustle and bustle society, it’s an energy drink, except unlike those made by the junk food manufacturers, this one is actually good for you too.

It is called MonaVie EMV and it aims not only to give you increased energy but enhanced performance, alertness, and endurance. It is formulated with a longer-lasting natural carbohydrate source can Palatinose, joined in a proprietary blend by yerba mate, maca, guarana, panax ginseng, cha de maca, L-Tyrosine, and green. Besides just containing acai, it also includes 6 other fruits with powerful health and nutritional properties, including cupuacu, camu camu, and acerola. And, as you would hope and expect, it contains no artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors, or preservatives.

Mona Vie aims to give millions of people a healthy alternative to drinking soft drinks and heavily caffeinated beverages.

You may already be personally familiar with acai berries’ properties without even having tried it. If you’re at all familiar with the weight-loss drug Alli, the over-the-counter version of the prescription drug Xenical, then it seems you may already have a pretty good idea of many (if not most, if not all) things that acai berries can do for you.

These weight-loss drugs Alli and Xenical function by providing the body with an enzyme that acts as a “fat blocker” keeping the digestive system from fully digesting the fat that is eaten. What doesn’t get digested gets eliminated from our systems as waste. Acai berries do the same thing.

But there are two difference with acai berries, two things you get with acai berries that you don’t with Alli and Xenical: acai berries are all-natural, and their range of benefits (the number of ways they help you lose weight) includes but exceeds that of Alli and Xenical. Because acai berries are also reported to be an appetite suppressant and a metabolic booster, as well as a nutritionally packed superfood.
