South America, the acai berry

any other fruit discovered by man. The Brazilian acai
berry is the crown jewel of MonaVie's premier blends.
For countless centuries, the people of the Amazon have revered this unique
fruit for its health-promoting properties and prized it as a source of health
and vitality. Their tribal healers used it to promote longevity, and their
warriors consumed it as a source of strength, energy, and vitality.
