~My Story~
Hey! I'm Kacie and I have just become a Mona Vie juice distributor. I am so excited to be apart of a business that provides an all natural way to relieve joint and muscle pain, lower bad cholesterol and high blood pressure and just feel good overall. I have never felt better. When I was 7, I was diagnosed with Craniopharyngioma (tumor on the Pituitary gland). A couple weeks after my 7th birthday I went in for surgery at Doernbecher Children's Hospital to remove the tumor. Having the surgery saved my life, but in return I have a weak immune system and diabetes insipidus: which is the deficiency of a hormone made by the pituitary that regulates the kidneys. Also, it prevented me from being able to produce other "womanly" hormones. So on top of medication to strengthen my immune system so I dont get sick, I take medication to control my bladder and extreme thirst, medication for "womanly" hormones and even more medication to deal with my thyroid. Fun stuff huh? Anyway, as a result I have gained weight. And that made it hard on my muscles and joints. So, with knee pain, on-and-off back pain and a weaker than normal immune system, I was in pretty bad shape. I often limped from my knee pain and sometimes woke up almost paralyzed from back pain. Years later, after trying exercise and vitamins and pain pills, my sister introduced me to MonaVie juice. I was very reluctant to try it because I am a very picky eater and I thought that something THAT healthy would just taste aweful. I downed by first drink of the juice without even letting it touch my tongue. Wanting me to really taste the juice, my older sister forced me to drink some more. Not wanting to feel the wrath of my older sister, I drank it. And it was fantastic! I couldnt believe something that was so healthy, that had so many fruits, antioxidants and other nutrients in it could taste so freakin good. From then on I was hooked. I even signed up to be my own distributor so I could get the juice at a wholesale price and make an extra income on the side by sharing the juice with others. And let me tell you what the juice has donw for me: I dont have hardly any knee pain, NO back pain, no headaches, I have a LOT more energy, I lost 15 lbs so far and I am finally going to bed before 2 am! It gives me energy during the day so I can burn it so I can fall asleep at a regular bedtime. I cant wait to see how much my bad cholesterol and blood pressure has dropped at my next doctor appointment! I am so greatful for this juice and how its made me feel. I am currently sharing it with friends and family and I hope you will do the same.

Just to let you know: Açai = AH-SIGH-EE
For countless centuries, the people of the Amazon have revered this unique fruit for its health-promoting properties and prized it as a source of health and vitality. The remarkable health benefits of açai are continually being documented by modern science. And because of its unparalleled antioxidant levels and extraordinary nutrient content, açai is now widely regarded as one of the world's top superfoods.Açai is rich in the following beneficial nutrients:-Antioxidants -Phytonutrients -Amino acids -Vitamins -Trace minerals.While the açai berry serves as the foundation for each of MonaVie’s vital formulas, with literally thousands of phytonutrients and antioxidants found in nature’s fresh fruits, MonaVie didn’t want to focus on just one at the expense of others.

A Little Science for ya!
The Mona Vie açai juice is squeezed from a berry grown on the açai palm. Each berry is under an inch in size, and looks more like a large grape than anything. They also contain quite a large seed that is planted, used for fertilizer, or made into jewelry. The Mona Vie açai berries are a superb source of important fatty acids plus oleic acid (Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9) and phytosterols (compounds of plant cell membranes), which, all combined, reduce the bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol. The açai berries also contain amino acids and vital trace elements needed for muscle contraction and regeneration. They provide a source of dietary fiber (which is excellent for dietary tract health). Possessing vitamins A and E, high levels of calcium, and phosphorus, as well as high concentrations of polyphenols, making it a great source of antioxidants. In fact, it is a much better source of antioxidants, compared to foods such as oranges, blueberries, and even red wine. Completed studies show a link between the use of antioxidants and increased longevity, and the antioxidants help in the fight against premature aging, cardiovascular, cancer, and ophthalmological (eye) diseases, and other age-related degenerative problems. Açai may also boost brain activity, make the skin healthy and supple, support healthy cholesterol levels, and provide natural energy. Comparing Mona Vie açai juice to milk, Mona Vie provides 3 times as many lipids, 118 times more iron, 9 times as much Vitamin B1, 7 times as many carbohydrates, and 8 times as much Vitamin C. However, they only have half as much phosphorus as milk.
OH NO! Not Free Radicals!!! ...but what are they?
Environmental sources of free radicals include radiation (I.E., sun exposure, X-rays), ozone and nitrous oxide, heavy metals (i.e., mercury, cadmium, lead), smoke, alcohol, saturated fat, and other chemicals and pollutants. The body itself generates free radicals in performing essential bodily functions including energy production and immune activities. Fortunately, the body also has the ability to create antioxidants to neutralize the free radicals and prevent extensive cellular damage. When free radicals are not neutralized by antioxidants, they inflict large-scale cellular damage which can cascade and lead to age-related degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and age –relaged macular degeneration. For example, free radical damage to joint cells may cause the cartilage to become rough or break down, and can lead to the development of osteoarthritis. Antioxidants are needed to comb at free radicals and prevent this cellular damage. “Oxidative stress can lead to DNA mutations, cell death, and disease, all of which contribute to aging,†said Gerald R. Cysewski, president and chief executive officer (CEO) at Cyanotech corp. “Antioxidants are produced naturally by the body to combat oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals. Increasing the amount of antioxidants in one’s system by consumption of supplements can provide further protection from the damaging effects of free radicals.†Because the body is continually assaulted by free radicals, antioxidant supplementation is often necessary. “by taking certain nutrients that our bodies stop producing over time, supplements help us to maintain a youthful look and health, which in turn enhances the quality of life,†Alkayali said. “Furthermore, supplements can help decrease oxidative stress that may otherwise accompany age-related illness and disease.â€
