Answer
Dan,

The main active ingredient in MonaVie is acai berry and the major health effect is similar to any potent antioxidant. However, the prices are quite different. You pay around 4-6 dollars a day for MonaVie while you can get same benefits paying 10 times less -- from red wine or red grapes, blueberries, tea, coffee, or dark chocolate.
