Dr. Perricone's 10 Superfoods No. 1: Açaí


It may seem odd to start this list of superfoods with one you’ve likely never even heard of. But studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! Açaí (ah-sigh-ee) is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, açaí tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature's perfect energy fruit. Açaí is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. Although açaí may not be available in your local supermarket, you can find it in several health food and gourmet stores (often in juice form). A new product featuring the unsweetened pulp is now also available, and I highly recommend that you choose this form of açaí.

My daughter introduced me to Monavie Active and at first we were skeptical, but after being on it for less than a week, we certainly were astonished at how much energy we now have and we feel great. David (70 years old) recently experienced illness and was completely lethargic, he just had no energy, but after just a few days of taking monavie active, he is exercising on his gym equipment and even moved a desk that weighed over a 100 lbs yesterday. Dr. Ralph Carson, PhD, Health Specialist, reported the three important and powerful effects of celedrin, glucosamine and phytonutrients. Monavie Active has all three, but only Monavie has the Acai Berry. We may not be physicians, but we both worked in the medical field for years and know that this product really works!
