Is MonaVie Organic? |
3 Comments |
I get a lot of people writing that the fruit in stores could be covered with pesticides and/or exposed to hormones. I don’t argue this fact. However, one always has a choice to buy certified organic fruit and juices. Sambazon for example has some organic acai juices.
What about MonaVie? Is it organic?
The blend consists of a total of 19 fruits and unfortunately it is not possible to organically certify all of the fruits in MonaVie and thus the finished product. For example, MonaVie’s wolfberry is harvested in China, and the Chinese government does not have a recognized organic certification process.

So the short answer here is that MonaVie is not organic. If you want to avoid pesticides, hormones, or other harmful chemicals, it’s best to avoid MonaVie.
I couldn’t find any information about MonaVie being organic or not when visiting their official FAQ. If it were organic, you’d think they’d point that out.

Hi, could you please post where you found the documentation backing up dr blackhurst’s statement?

That’s a fair request.
I don’t want to promote one MonaVie distributor’s site over another’s. So instead I invite you to put the quote into Google and find numerous sources: Here’s a link to that

Monavie prizes itself on the freeze-dry process and that 80% of the antioxidant from the Acai Berry is lost if not handled properly.
I just bought a $3.99 bottle of Bom Dia from Bolthouse at Whole Foods. Their slogan is “12 hours from fruit to juice”. They process the Acai Berry into juice within 12 hours making the Monavie “patent processing” irrelevant. So why pay $40/bottle, when you can get it now for $3.99. No need, since Bolthouse preserves now 100% of the Acai’s potency. They also have other great products, which are only $3.99.
First it made sense to me to buy Monavie due to the handling of the Acai Berry. Now there is good alternative and you will still get full use of the potency of the Acai Berry with Bom Dia at WholeFoods.
