-Boasts the highest superoxide scavenging capacity against the superoxide radical-a free radical implicated in the decline of joint activity.
-Features potential immune-modulating properties.
-Nutritionally supports joint health.
Featuring acai and glucosamine, MonaVie Active is formulated to enhance your body’s joint health and function. Increasing joint mobility and flexibility (improves coordination for more efficient movements) helps reduce tension in the muscles surrounding your joints, speed recovery from exercise and restore loss of motion due to past injuries.
GLUCOSAMINE’S JOINT HEALTH BENEFITS
-Encourages the production of glycosaminoglycans-an important structural component of healthy joints and ligaments.
-Helps lubricate the joints, promoting joint flexibility and a healthy range of motion.
-Stimulates the secretion of hyaluronic acid-the substance in connective tissue and synovial fluid that cushions the joints.
Recent findings in the New England Journal of Medicine support the numerous published clinical trials that have demonstrated the safety and benefits of glucosamine. Adding glucosamine may help others at risk for and those experiencing joint discomfort, including athletes in high-impact sports such as basketball, football, or running (Council for Responsible Nutrition, Study Shows Supplements Relieve Osteoarthritis Pain, Feb. 22, 2006, Press Release).
THE ANTIOXIDANT ADVANTAGE OF MONAVIE AND YOUR MUSCLES
Rich in powerful antioxidants, this superfruit blend gives your body the resources it needs to fight muscle damaging free radicals. These highly reactive molecules are caused by many things, including pollution, smoking, sun exposure, and even exercise. Though extremely beneficial for the body, physical activity is a highly oxidative process that increases the production of free radicals, which can injure the muscle tissue, making soreness a potential reality.
The antioxidants found in the fruits of MonaVie can help alleviate the negative effects of this oxidative process while enhancing the benefits of exercise. A food’s antioxidant benefits are measured in Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) units, which serve as a quantitative measure of a food’s ability to subdue oxygen free radicals in vitro. On a gram-to-gram basis, freeze dried acai has a higher ORAC score than any other fruit or vegetable ever tested. (J Agric Food Chem. 54(22):8604-10)
In the June 2006 issue of Clinical Nutrition, the study, “Effects of Polyphenolic Antioxidants on Exercise-Induced Oxidative Stress,” found that athletes that drank a juice high in antioxidant polyphenols saw a significant decrease in free radical initiated muscle damage. Studies even suggest that drinking an antioxidant-rich fruit juice prior to intense physical activity may help the body recover faster, reduce muscle soreness, and diminish post-exercise fatigue. Bursting with antioxidants, MonaVie Active is specially formulated to enhance your body’s performance and recovery.
