Brief Introduction

Salicin is a naturally occurring compound found in the bark of several species of trees, primarily North American in origin, that are from the willow, poplar, and aspen families. White willow, from whose Latin name, Salix alba, the term salicin is derived, is the most well known source of this compound, but it is found in a number of other trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants as well being synthesized commercially. It is a member of the glucoside family of chemicals and is used as an analgesic and antipyretic. Salicin is used as a precursor for the synthesis of salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin.

A colorless, crystalline solid in its pure form, salicin has the chemical formula C13H18O7. Part of its chemical structure is equivalent to the sugar glucose, meaning it is classified as a glucoside. It is soluble, but not strongly so, in water and alcolhol. Salicin has a bitter taste and is a natural analgesic and antipyretic, or fever reducer. In large quantities, it can be toxic, and overdoses may lead to liver and kidney damage. In its raw form, it may be mildly irritating to skin, respiratory organs, and eyes.

Mona Vie Product overview
The Mona Vie product line consists of three forms of bottled juice—Mona Vie Original, Mona Vie Active, and Mona Vie Pulse—as well as gel pack versions of the products. The suggested retail prices for Mona Vie Original, Active, and Pulse juice are $39, $45, and $45.25 respectively, per one 750-mL (25.5 oz.) bottle. The manufacturer’s recommended daily serving size is 2 to 4 ounces.

Mona Vie Original and Active juices list the following ingredients: blend of açaí (freeze-dried powder and whole juice); 100% fruit juice from concentrate (white grape, apple, acerola, aronia, purple grape, cranberry, passion fruit, apricot, prune, kiwifruit, blueberry, wolfberry (goji), pomegranate, lychee, camu camu); fruit purée (pear, banana, bilberry); citric acid, sodium benzoate. In addition to these ingredients, MonaVie Active lists d-glucosamine hydrochloride and esterified fatty acids as additives.

Mona vie Pulse juice, launched on September 25, 2008, lists the following ingredients: blend of açai (freeze-dried powder and whole juice), reconstituted fruit juice blend (Concord grape blend, pineapple, apple, prickly pear, pomegranate, elderberry, yumberry, bilberry, blackberry, blueberry, cherry, cranberry, raspberry, aronia), puree fruit blend (acerola, strawberry, cupuaçu, camu camu), plant sterols (emulsified with corn syrup solids, polyglycerol esters of fatty acids, gum acacia), Apple Phyto-Phenolics (polyphenol blend), omega-3 (cranberry seed oil), resveratrol, natural flavors, potassium sorbate (preservative), sodium benzoate (preservative), citric acid. According to the company, 4 ounces of Mona Vie Pulse provide 0.8 g plant sterols.

A patent application for the freeze-dried açaí powder (Opti-Açaí) used in Mona Vie was submitted to the World Intellectual Property Organization in 2004 by developers Alexander G. Schauss and Kenneth A. Murdock. WIPOs Preliminary Report on Patentability deemed that many of the claims in the patent application did not support the novelty, inventiveness, or industrial applicability of the process, and as of 2008, the patent had not been approved. Opti-açaí is marketed by K2A International, a business partnership between Schauss, Murdock, and MonaVie vice-president Jeff Graham.

Mona Vie Product research
A study on the antioxidant activity of Mona Vie Active juice reported that it had an ORAC score of 22.8 μmol/mL and that it contained 0.47 μg/mL total proanthocyanidins and 1.48 mg/mL total phenolics.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study in 12 healthy adults suggested that consumption of MonaVie Active led to a modest increase in the resistance of red blood cells to in vitro oxidation by hydrogen peroxide, which was demonstrated using the authors’ newly developed “CAP” assay method. ORAC in serum was not increased nor was serum lipid peroxidation significantly inhibited in test subjects who consumed Mona Vie.

Mona Vie is a nutritional beverage company that distributes beverage products made from blended fruit juice concentrates with açaí pulp powder and purée through a multi-level marketing (MLM) business model. Marketing claims made about the products suggest that they provide antioxidants and health benefits. MonaVie has been the subject of recent media controversy, and several sources have questioned both the product’s value and the legality of claims regarding its reputed health benefits. The manufacturer of Mona Vie products, as well as some of its senior distributors, were involved in four lawsuits between 2007 and 2008.
