Glucosamine is of three types- N-acetyl glucosamine, glucosamine hydrochloride (HCL), and glucosamine sulfate. Glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine HCL both undergo rapid conversion in the stomach to form ‘free’ glucosamine. Thus on a physiological level, both these types are equally efficacious. But, glucosamine HCL has 83% glucosamine whereas glucosamine sulfate has only 65% of glucosamine. MonaVie Active formulation uses glucosamine HCL as this form has higher concentration of free glucosamine.

4. Tell me about plant sterols.
Plant sterols are phytochemical compounds occurring in the fatty tissues of many plants. Plant sterols can be found in abundance in sesame oil, Brussels sprouts, wheat bran, and wheat germ. Plant sterols help maintain healthy cholesterol levels in the body by competing with cholesterol for absorption by the body. It is however difficult to consume food products containing plant sterols on a regular basis to equip the body with plant sterols adequate to maintain good cholesterol levels.
5. What is the method of functioning of plant sterols?
Plant sterols and cholesterol are both considered alike by the body. Studies show that when body encounters a diet with adequate quantity of plant sterols, it begins to absorb lesser cholesterol as plant sterols try to get ahead of cholesterol for absorption by the body. Foods with a minimum of 0.4 grams of plant sterols in a single serving, taken two times a day with meals, delivering on the whole a minimum of 0.8 grams to the body, if included in a diet based on low cholesterol and saturated fat, may decrease the risk of cardiac diseases.

MonaVie products feature such beneficial phytonutrients.
22. Tell me about antioxidants.
Antioxidants are chemical substances that assist in controlling free radicals, which are harmful compounds that damage body cells through oxidation. Free radicals are characteristically unstable; antioxidants inhibit the growth of free radicals by lending an electron to them and thus neutralizing their effects. Food- or supplement-based antioxidant support is essential for maintaining overall health of the body.
23. What should I know about free radicals?
Free radicals are atoms that contain at least one electron that is unpaired. When free electrons go beyond tolerant levels, they cause harmful oxidation, which can result in damage of cell membranes. Free radicals in excess are equivalent to uncontrolled cattle, which can wreck havoc. Similar to ranch hands that control such cattle, antioxidants in the body neutralize free radicals and prevent them from causing harm to millions of healthy cells.
24. Explain about oxidative stress?
Oxidative stress is the result of absence of adequate amounts of antioxidants to fight the effects of harmful free radical oxidation effects.
25. What is the reason behind the presence of free radicals in excessive amounts?
Pollution, alcohol, tobacco-induced smoke, insecticides, exposure to chemicals at work places or at home, and excessive exposure to radiation of the sun, are major causative agents that lead to increase in free radicals. Stress, diet high in fat, inadequate sleep, and exercise that is physically-taxing, are other contributors.

Potassium Sorbate, sorbic acid’s potassium salt, prevents growth of molds. This is a polyunsaturated fat has been subjected to many a test to assess its safety and efficacy. Today, potassium sorbate is one of the elaborately tested food additives in the world.
30. There is sodium benzoate preservative in MonaVie juices. Ascorbic acid, also known as antioxidant Vitamin C, is also included in MonaVie juices. How true is the fact that vitamin C and sodium benzoate can come together to form benzene?
Vitamin C has the ability to form free radicals provided there are small quantities of specific metals, which serve as catalysts, in its surroundings. Benzoate is converted into benzene by these free radicals. A standard limit has been fixed by the FDA and WHO for the amount of benzene in water. According to this standard, the set limit is 5 parts for every billion. MonaVie products are regularly tested for benzene levels. These tests always show a level much lesser than the standard set by the WHO and FDA.
