Mona Vie™
Introduction & Overview
Obesity is an ever-growing issue in America, and it seems that we are constantly barraged by recommendations of more exercise and better meal choices. However, no one seems to be quite sure exactly what diet or fitness plan will create the best results for all dieters. During the course of our research, we found that diets are not one-size-fits-all, so results may vary from person to person. However, some of the more effective herbal extracts, like Hoodia, have been shown to be able to produce the same results time after time.
This is not to say that all nutritional supplements and extracts that are marketed as weight loss adjuncts are equally as effective. In fact, some are weak performers or better suited for addressing other aspects of health. Mona Vie™ is a juice-based supplement derived from the Acai Berry, and it is suggested to be able to enhance health, ease aging and increase weight loss. This product is on the expensive side and is packaged like a bottle of wine when you see it on the company’s website. Let’s take a look at this product to see exactly what it has to offer.
Ingredients At A Glance
Mona Vie™ contains Acai Berry, Acerola, Apricot, Banana, Bilberry, Camu Camu, Cranberry, Kiwi, Lychee Fruit, Nashi Pear, Passion Fruit Pear, Pomegranate, Prune, Purple Grape, White Grape and Wolfberry.
Ingredients in Focus
While many fruit juices are used in this product, its primary ingredient is the Acai Berry, which is found primarily in the Amazon rainforest, which is home to one-third of the world's species of animal and plant life. This berry is produced by the Açaí Palm, and its berries are used as a food source. While western developers have imbued the Acai Berry with many healthful attributes, practitioners of traditional medicine in the Amazon region used it most often to address gastrointestinal problems, as well as using its sap as an astringent.
The Acai Berry appeared on the US market in 2000, and since then, some initial research has been conducted. It was shown to contain Beta-sitosterol, a phytosterol, which may help reduce blood cholesterol levels, so it may help individuals with high cholesterol address this issue. It also contains Hydro-alcoholic Extract, so it is believed to have some vasodilator-like effects. These two factors suggest that it may even have some potential for addressing cardiovascular disease.
Acai seeds are a good source of polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids, and they are high in dietary fiber. The berry is currently being studied as a way to fight cancer, and some initial studies suggest that it may have some ability to damage cultured cancer cells. This study has been very promising, and researchers are continuing to study the Acai Berry for these purposes.
Diet Lifestyle
At this point, readers may have noted that none of the benefits associated with the Acai Berry have to do with weight loss. In fact, it has not been shown to have any effect on weight loss, nor have any of the other antioxidant- and nutrient-rich fruit juices used in the Mona Vie™ formula shown possibilities in this field. There are many elements on the holistic market that have been proven to help increase metabolic function and reduce hunger, such as Advantra Z® and Hoodia Gordonii. It is really important to look for products that contain elements that are specific to weight loss instead of going with popularity or recent trends.
Positives
• Contains healthful elements that may provide antioxidant support
• Juice-based supplement may be very palatable
Negatives
• Product is expensive
• Not proven to be a weight loss product
• Their customers do not like them at all and have negative things to say about their experiences. Click here to read a popular Mona Vie Blog.
Final Thoughts
It is really important to thoroughly check out a product’s formula to get a “true” idea of its abilities. There are a variety of products on the market that are very “popular,” and some, such as Hoodia and Advantra Z®, are effective. But for others, their fame is grounded more in popularity than reality. This is very much the case with Mona Vie™ when it comes to weight loss, even though it is full of nutrients and antioxidants, which may have some health benefits. According to our research, however, consumers who used this product to enhance weight loss may have been very disappointed.
Mona Vie™’s utter lack of potential in the weight loss arena may be why it was not included in the $1000 giveaway program. Only the market’s most effective weight loss products were included in this unique program, so it comes as no surprise that a formula offering no weight loss effects was left out. Mona Vie™ may have other benefits to offer, but it simply isn’t a weight loss formula.
