MonaVie is one of the leaders in nutritious and healthy drink products. They produce and market a line of juice blends that combine all kinds of juices which contain phytonutrients and antioxidants, and many people are finding these blends are improving their overall health. They have now developed several blends including one for joint health, MonaVie Active and one for cardiovascular health, MonaVie Pulse. And the key ingredient for these blends is the super fruit the acai berry.

 

The acai berry used in MonaVie Pulse is found in the acai palm tree in the Brazilian rainforest. In the last decades scientists and others have been trying to educate the world community about the importance of protecting the rainforest. They believe that the rainforest is a vital system in the world and that much of the earth’s well being depends on the rainforest. The basic reason is that the rainforest is filled with old trees which help maintain the oxygen levels that most life on earth depends on. Losing oxygen producing trees will eventually kill off some species who cannot survive the change.

 

Before MonaVie was formed and began using the acai berry, the trees were being destroyed at a rapid pace. Poachers were killing the trees in order to get at a small part of the tree called the heart of palm which they sold. They removed this roughly twelve inch section and then let the rest of the tree die, and it’s believed that these trees do not grow back. So the tree was not being treated as a renewable source. Once all the trees were gone, not only would the local people lose a source of income but the rainforest would have lost much of its growth.

 

Fortunately, MonaVie found the acai berry and made it the main ingredient in their juice blends. Now the berries could be harvested from living trees and leave the trees healthy and alive. The acai berry became a more profitable crop than the heart of palm, so poachers were no longer killing trees. Instead the Brazilian citizens want to keep the trees alive as they are a renewable source of income. And this is needed as many local citizens lived in desperate poverty. Today they have hope for the future as their product is being used in some of the most successful juice blends in the world.

 

Because MonaVie found and features the acai berry in its drinks, it is actively supporting the preservation of the rainforest. Unlike some corporate businesses that go into areas and harm the environment, MonaVie is using harvest practices that actually benefit the environment and the local citizens. And saving the rainforest and its trees helps the entire world community and its species.

 

In addition to their harvest of the acai berry, MonaVie also contributes to the education and health of the local citizens through a variety of programs. Under MonaVie MORE (click here to visit site) they are providing medical, dental, and educational help and vocational training for the local people of the rainforest so that they may become independent and self sufficient.
