Why MonaVie EMV Should Be Your Energy Drink of Choice
There is no denying that energy drinks are popular—Americans consume nearly US$8 billion of Red Bull, Rockstar, Monster, and related beverages every year. In India, it is reported that the energy drink market is growing at a rate of 25 percent per year and is estimated at Rs 500 crore. The carbonated drink market is close to Rs 6,000 crore.* And yet, numerous media reports have called energy drinks “useless” to “dangerous.”
Although most energy drinks are little more than flavoured caffeine/sugar concoctions, some products are striking out in new directions to deliver the energy boost that tired consumers are craving without the sugary side effects. As a nutritionist, I’m often conflicted when I’m asked if energy drinks are “healthy” to consume on a daily basis (most are certainly not, but some newer options are coming close).
Sugar Rush
All of the mainstream energy drinks deliver 3–4 grams of sugar per 30 ml—so for drinks ranging from 235 to 592 ml, you’re looking at a massive dose of 25–80 grams of sugar. Your typical 355 ml Coke in the U.S. packs 39 grams of sugar per can (almost 10 teaspoons of sugar and 160 calories). The sugar-free versions aren’t much better because you’re trading your sugar rush for a range of artificial sweeteners that often can only trick your brain and taste buds temporarily (your appetite is likely to increase significantly in the evening after having consumed an artificially sweetened beverage earlier in the day—so you end up consuming those “missing” sugar calories later anyway.)
Palatinose is a brand name of isomaltulose, a unique natural sugar that is absorbed about 50% slower than regular sugar (sucrose). This makes isomaltulose a “low glycemic” type of sugar that is less likely to result in the “spikes” of blood glucose that are common with traditional energy drinks. Isomaltulose is a form of sucrose (cane sugar) that has been naturally fermented in a way that slows its rate of absorption, which is good for energy levels, brain function, and fat-burning.
For example, consuming an energy drink sweetened with sugar or high fructose corn syrup is likely to result in a fast rise in blood glucose and a resulting spike in energy levels and rapid drop in fat-burning. It is also likely to result (about 90 minutes later) in a fast drop in blood glucose levels and a corresponding fall in mental and physical energy levels.
Caffeine Connection
Most mainstream soft drinks and energy drinks use synthetic caffeine added at 50–200mg per can to their high fructose corn syrup and artificial colours—not a very appetising brew. (In the U.S., 5-Hour Energy Extra Strength has 207mg, Red Bull has 80mg, Coke has 35mg, and a typical coffee has 100mg.) This level of caffeine has been shown to improve subjective feelings of physical energy, mental focus, and reaction time, alertness, and overall cognitive performance. A handful of studies have also demonstrated an improvement in energy expenditure (burning more calories) as well as improved physical performance in both sprint and endurance events.
Clearly, there is a short-term benefit of energy drinks on various aspects of mental and physical performance—but what about the long-term health effects? It’s obvious that high doses of sugar are detrimental to health in a myriad of ways from insulin overload to outright addiction. Caffeine overdoses are associated with elevated stress responses, higher blood pressure and heart rate, exacerbated hyperglycemia, tension, and insomnia.
As a physiologist, nutritionist, and endurance athlete, I don’t want anyone to be over-consuming either sugar or caffeine, and when they (myself included) DO consume energy drinks, I’d prefer the sugars to have a lower glycemic index (such as Palatinose) and the caffeine to come from natural sources (which can be “slower” forms of caffeine in several ways).
Green tea leaves, coffee beans, Guarana seeds, Maca roots, Cha de Burge leaves/fruits, yerba mate leaves, and Kola nuts are all rich sources of natural caffeine that tend to be absorbed into the blood stream more slowly than synthetic caffeine. The combination of natural caffeine plus lower-glycemic sugars results in a more sustained, longer lasting, and less “jittery” form of energy—without the common up/down spikes that come from many mainstream energy drinks.
Added Supplements
At the more “premium” end of the energy drink spectrum (not the stuff you buy at the gas station), it’s becoming more common to see exotic energy boosters such as Panax Ginseng roots (very effective for mental/physical energy, but also very expensive) and stamina/endurance enhancers such as ribose (great for cardiovascular and muscular energy), as well as amino acids such as taurine (to increase blood flow) and tyrosine (for mental focus). Unfortunately, these exotic ingredients are often added to many energy drinks in tiny “pixie dust” amounts (too little to be effective). So don’t put too much faith in a long list of exotic ingredients unless the actual product has undergone some level of scientific validation of its energy boosting claims.
MonaVie EMV—A Healthier Alternative
An independent clinical study of MonaVie’s EMV energy drink, conducted at the University of Southern California (USC), found improvements in several measures of both physical and mental performance. In volunteers exercising at a sustained moderate intensity (average heart rate of 150 beats per minute), those consuming EMV showed a 7% improvement in perceived exertion (indicating that EMV users felt that the workload was “7% easier” compared to placebo).
On measures of mental focus and mood state, EMV users also showed improvements in reaction time, memory performance, and measures of psychological vigour (mental/physical energy). The USC researchers concluded that, “With some of the safety concerns regarding current energy drinks on the market, especially with the large concentration of caffeine in a relatively small volume, the MonaVie EMV beverage might offer a safer and healthier alternative.”
Summary
The bottom line when it comes to energy drinks is to look for some of the “healthier” options that are coming to market. Those with “slower” types of both sugar and natural caffeine—perhaps combined with meaningful levels of exotics such as Panax ginseng, ribose, and tyrosine—offer a more sustained increase in whole-body energy levels and improvement in mental focus. MonaVie EMV fulfils each of these criteria and represents perhaps the most advanced (and delicious) energy drink on the market today.

MonaVie holds three-day event in conjunction with distribution centre opening
Relationship marketing group, MonaVie’s first distribution centre in Sarawak will be officially opened on December 7, 2012, followed by a three-day event in conjunction with the opening.
According to the person-in-charge, Johnny Chia, the distribution centre was set up to provide a positive and high-energy environment for members to learn and grow. It aimed to place emphasis beyond that of doing business, but on personal development as well.
MonaVie started out in 2005 and its products include a range of healthy, high quality beverages made from Acai berries, as well as energy drinks and weight management products. These products are aimed at ‘impacting others, not just in terms of good health, but also financially’.
The three-day event in conjunction with the opening will begin on December 7, with the opening event at its distributor’s centre followed by a ‘Star Night’ dinner at Pullman Kuching, whereby awards will be given out to outstanding members.
“The second day, December 8, we will be organising a talk by world class leaders, Steve and Gina Merritt. They will be sharing their success stories with the attendees. Entrance fee for this particular talk is RM35,” Chia explained.
On December 9, MonaVie’s ‘MORE’ project will take place at Stutong Park. “We target to have up to 100 attendees at the event. The project dedicates itself and its resources to improve the environment as well as the lives of those in poverty. The event on the day will have participants plant a tree each to help the environment.”
The distributor’s centre is located at No 83, Symphony Lane, Lorong Seng Goon 3D, 93250 Kuching. The reason it occupies a residential lot instead of a commercial one, according to Chia, was because it was trying to distance itself from an overly commercial image.
“This is a home-based business, mostly conducted through e-Commerce. As such, this distributor’s centre provides a space for members to meet, we also conduct weekly business talks in English and Chinese. We also have a specialised training room for members.”
“We are present in 23 countries and are looking at expanding into China and Indonesia soon.” For more information on the three-day event as well as MonaVie products, call 016-886 0069 (Johnny Chia).
MonaVie Founder Dallin Larsen on the State of MonaVie
Dear MonaVie,
When I was a young boy, probably 13 or 14, I became convinced, through a friend, that if I invested $100 in some US Bonds as part of a "get rich quick" program spreading through my hometown, that I would make $10,000 over the next 30 days by placing my name on the bottom of a list. Daily, as others got involved, my name would be moved up the list and, within four short weeks, I would begin receiving checks in the Larsen family mailbox in Rexburg, Idaho. I was so excited!
So, I took the $100 out of my savings account, which represented most of my savings from mowing lawns and delivering papers, and jumped in. I was going to get rich! I still remember to this day my dad saying something along the lines of, "Oh boy, looks like you're going to have to learn at a young age what a Ponzi scheme is. My advice is not to do it, but sometimes you have to learn life lessons from your mistakes." Thirty days later, I was dejected when, with each passing day, I would go out to my mailbox and no checks were there. I felt foolish, stupid, and upset that I didn't heed my father's advice. And I was equally upset at the person I trusted who led me down the wrong path. As part of this teaching moment, my mom said, "Dallin, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is." I decided then and there that I'd never again fall for another get rich quick scheme. $100 was a lot of money back then to a young teenager.
Recently, another exciting venture may have crossed your path, promising riches within weeks. Some may have been lured into what will undoubtedly not be the last "get rich quick" scheme coming to your city or state. People are desperate and need money; I understand that completely. However, my strongest advice is to stay away from such promises; for, in the end, they undoubtedly all get shut down, leaving scores of families with broken dreams, shattered relationships, and diminished savings or credit card debt. We each have a certain amount of credibility. When we steer people into questionable opportunities, however well intended, that credibility is diminished, rarely to be fully regained. Be wise, my friends. Your credibility depends on it. With that being said, I’ve certainly made my share of mistakes in life and am grateful for those who gave me the room to grow from those mistakes. I encourage all of us to offer that same room to others.
In contrast, MonaVie is a solid company with a legitimate product that is consumed and reordered. We have an A+ rating (the highest rating possible) with the Better Business Bureau. For almost eight years now, we've paid commissions each and every week without fail. I've never said that MonaVie offers a get rich quick program. I've stated over and over again that it takes time, effort, commitment, and hard work to become financially independent in MonaVie, but it's proven to be possible for those willing to create the character traits and skills necessary for extraordinary results. MonaVie is a company you can plant yourself in and grow. I left the office one day this past week, called my wife Karree, and told her I felt better than I've felt in years about the next chapter for MonaVie. My friends, our future is bright.
I want you to know how proud I am of those who have been in the trenches; those who were on the recent Cruise for Gold trip, being rewarded for their efforts in advancing to the rank of Gold Executive. I’m proud of the moms and dads who are putting on Home Business Reviews. I’m proud of the folks who shared their life changing product stories with me recently in Cleveland, St. Augustine, and New Jersey, as well as on Cruise for Gold. I’m proud of those who are trying to live their lives with God, Family, and MonaVie, in that order. Karree and I are looking forward to being with you in Anaheim! Once you are introduced to VIEW and how we will be proving the value of the MonaVie products, along with our other initiatives, I believe you’ll agree with me when I say that our future is bright!
Keep growing,
Dallin A. Larsen
MonaVie Founder, Chairman, and CEO

Healthy Supplement for Your Sans Exercise Routine!
While we all
know that exercise has NO substitute to a healthy living and a fit body, but
exercise should not be mistaken for some 'work outs' done at home or at some
health clubs etc!
If you are
feeling tired at the end of the day, once you are home from your workplace,
your fatigue could be due to multiple factors. Most common being dehydration!
After all,
how many of us are drinking 3-4 bottles of water, during our 8 hrs in office?
The other reasons could be excessive oxidative damage due to stressful
job/business/life style, lack of alkalnizers like fruits and vegetable in the
diet, lack of synthesis of 'body current' from the energy moieties like glucose
and fat.
This is
precisely where 'Nutrition' and 'Nutrients' as in brands like MonaVie Wellness
Products fit in. MonaVie Wellness is all about supplementing and complimenting
the best and ultimate efforts of the supreme intelligent Cells, tissues, organs and thus the whole

ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbing Capacity) per serving, which is the recommended
ORAC by Nutritional Scientists- in other words is equivalent to 10-13 servings
of fresh fruits and vegetables a day, every day. these juices would help
'alkalanize' the system all the while supporting the 'inherent antioxidant
enzyme system' with potent free radical scavenging phyto-nutrients.
Anything
contradictory to 'wellness' will have their rooting in an 'acidic system and or
'oxidized' physiological and bio-chemical molecules. And hence an alkalanizing
antioxidant beverage makes a lot of sense when it comes wellness.
