MonaVie does contain preservatives, but not all preservatives are bad. In fact, many are beneficial and keep consumers safe. In ideal conditions, MonaVie would not need to use preservatives. MonaVie as a company has no control over the storage conditions of its products once they leave the facility.
Citric acid is used in MonaVie products. This is used when there is a need for PH levels to be lowered. This helps ensure that microbes do not grow. This is an extremely safe preservative and is very natural.
A form of salt known as potassium sorbate is used to stop mold growth. This has been found to be safe even in large amounts. This is one of the most highly tested preservatives used. This is said to be safe even through one of the most well known food additive critics, Dr. Michael Jacobson.
One of the most common preservatives is known as sodium benzoate. This is a very strong antimicrobial. This compound has a very low acidity and has very little taste. It is found in just about anything that we consume that has been manufactured. Sodium benzoate is shown in studies to flush from the body within 6 hours and completely within 10. There is absolutely no danger in this preservative. The reason the levels of this preservative are monitored, is that when used moderately it can leave an aftertaste. There have been studies concluding no adverse side affects from this preservative.
Within MonaVie, sodium benzoate forms benzene when combined with vitamin C. Benzene is of concern when levels are high. MonaVie is constantly checking their benzene levels. They are always way inside the safety parameter set by the FDA. The concern of benzene has always come from soft drinks. The reaction of sodium bezoate with vitamin C is amplified when mixed with certain metals. Even fruits produce Benzene.
You can feel good knowing that MonaVie uses only the safest preservatives. All levels are monitored carefully on a regular basis. MonaVie has the lowest preservatives possible within their products. They are 100% safe and natural, even though there are some preservatives present. This is for the safety of all consumers. Without preservatives, dangerous molds and microbes can form due to temperature variation and differences in shelf life among warehouses, businesses, distributors, etc. A slight amount of preservatives will maintain the safety and quality of MonaVie products. There is nothing to be worried about when consuming MonaVie.
