Question: Hello,

I am wondering what is the ORAC value of your Absolute Acai Freeze-Dried Acai Powder?  Your Web site mentions that “It has been found that freeze-dried acai has the highest antioxidant activity (ORAC value), maintaining the nutrient profile of the freshly harvested fruit” but does not give the actual ORAC value.
Thank you,

Valerie

Answer: Valerie,

From our webpage:

“Research has been done by reputable U.S. laboratories to determine which form of açaí maintains the highest level of antioxidants.  It has been found that freeze-dried acai has the highest antioxidant activity (ORAC value), maintaining the nutrient profile of the freshly harvested fruit. “

This is a general statement and not a quote or statement about the specific ORAC value of our product.  It is just a comparison to all forms of the acai. Personally, I am not a promoter of ORAC, it’s internet hype, and don’t use it as my gauge in determining my 950+ nutritional products I carry in my practice. Please read my blog post on ORAC.

In a nutshell; if you want the closest form to fresh, than 100% organic freeze dried acai is it!

I am here to help if you have any additional questions.

Question: Hello, I live in Murrieta and I came across your site while doing some research on Mona Vie juice.  Your company appears to be very knowledgeable about various forms of health drinks, so I was wondering if you have had an opportunity to do any research on Mona Vie.  I’m always looking for expert opinions.

Thank you for your time,

Answer: John,

We have not done testing on that product per se but I do know the product very well. All I can say is if you are doing it as a business and you are presently doing well at it, great! On the other hand, if you are looking for a potent acai juice or other therapy juice, with no obligation and at less cost, than we offer a great product. There is nothing wrong with Mona Vie other than it is very expensive for what you are getting.

If I can help in any other way than please e-mail me back.
