Mona
Vie is a product with a purpose, and that purpose extends far
beyond the wellness of its consumers. MonaVie's roots live deep
within the lungs of the earth, known as the Amazon. This region
is home to one-third of the world's species of animal and plant
life. The health and well-being of the Brazilian Rainforest
directly impacts the entire Amazon region, as well as the
quality and power of Mona Vie.
The acai
berry is found at the top of tall palm trees in the rich Amazon
rain forest of South America. Used for hundreds of years by
natives of the rain forest for its energy, health, and healing
properties, the acai berry contains high levels of antioxidants
and phytonutrients.
Through
both the conservative harvesting process which support and
promotes the growth of the rainforest, and the M.O.R.E. Project,
the makes of Mona Vie are giving back to this region which has
given so much to all of us. For ages, the acai has been revered
by the indigenous cultures of the Amazon for its unique
nutritional and healing properties.
Today
however, poachers illegally chop down between 5,000 and 10,000
acai palm trees each week simply to harvest a 12 inch section of
the tree known as the heart of the palm (or pamito). Once these
trees are destroyed, they never return. By MonaVie helping to
create a demand for the acai berry, locals now have an economic
incentive to harvest only the berries and not the heart of the
palm, Thereby, providing a continual source of income for the
locals as well as positively impacting the environment through
the preservation of the trees.
MonaVie
is also giving back to the people of this region through a
charitable initiative. Every time you purchase Mona Vie, a
portion of the proceeds will go to the M.O.R.E. Project, which
stands for MonaVie's Operation Rescue. These charitable gifts
help provide food, shelter, clothing and education to the needy
children of Brazil, often left orphaned in the slums of Rio de
janeiro. The M.O.R.E. Project not only stands for MonaVie's
Operation Rescue, to these children, it also represents More
Hope, More Caring, More Compassion, More Kindness and More Love.
Just as the mighty Amazon has done for ages, MonaVie is
enriching the lands and people of this region of the world.
The
palm trees which were once harvested to create hearts of palm
salad in upscale restaurants are now being left alone to grow as
a renewable resource because there is now a market for the
berry, which is harvested without destroying the tree.
The Acai
Berry is one of the few Brazilian exports that can directly
protect the rainforest. Every time a bottle of Mona Vie is
purchased, it stands as proof that the Acai Berry is an
important and valid export. It becomes evident that the
rainforest is indeed worth preserving at all costs. A portion of
the profits from every bottle of Mona Vie sold will be donated
to the preservation of the Brazilian Rainforest.
