As applications for the 2009 Inc. 500 | 5000 arrive, we thought it would be worthwhile to shine a spotlight on some of the companies that are vying to appear on our ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. (For more information and to apply, go to http://www.inc5000apply.com.) One that caught our eye was South Jordan, Utah-based MonaVie.

If you’ve been on the internet at all, then you’ve probably seen countless acai berry ads. The supplement, said to help joint pain, high cholesterol, and weight loss, has been riding a wave of popularity. MonaVie’s line acai berry-based juices are coming along for the ride.

“The acai berry is very high in antioxidants, and has observable health benefits,” says MonaVie CFO Devin Thorpe. “Most people who drink the juice love how it makes them feel. In today’s society where proper nutrition has taken a backseat to fast food and convenience, our bodies really thank us when we give it something healthful and nutritious.”

The company, which was founded in 2005, sells the juices in eight countries and the United States through direct selling, much like Avon or Mary Kay. They’re also launching a new energy drink, Emv, this month.

“It also includes the acai berry and 80 percent real fruit juice, so instead of being sugar water, it’s real, carbonated fruit juice with a blend of energizing herbs and natural sources of caffeine, so it gives people the boost of energy they’re looking for from healthy calories and a healthy source of caffeine,” explains Thorpe.

But what Thorpe is most proud of is the company’s commitment to the communities they harvest from in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. By giving the acai berry economic value, he explains, they’ve helped to create economic incentive to preserve the rainforest rather than burn it for grazing land. The company also runs after-school programs for local kids and provides housing to some of their families.

“It started as a grassroots effort years ago, and we now have a multi-million dollar program that is changing lives down there,” says Thorpe. “We’re excited that we can really make a difference in the communities we’re involved in.”

The main role of the anti aging vitamin tablets is to promote mitochondria and boosting of the cells regeneration. The cells in your body are breaking down all the time; however, they also are created all the time so the dead cells are replaced immediately with new ones. When age advances, the dead cells stop being replaced with the same effectiveness and hence, the skin sags and literally dries up getting a wrinkled look.

Anti-aging supplements work on maintaining a youthful body from the inside out. Supplement Central carries anti-aging supplements which are products geared towards balancing chemicals related to aging, such as DHEA and ATP.

Oxidation reactions occur when oxygen combust and produces oxygen free radicals which are a byproduct. This is basically the aging process.

The vitamins are supposed to reverse this trend and taken in the right dosage, they are indeed very effective. What you need to do to enjoy the benefits to the largest extent is to use a daily supplement of the required vitamins. These would be the vitamin A, B12, B complex, C, D, E as well as iron supplements and folic acid. Each one of these contributes their bit to the prevention of aging and reversal of aging signs not only on the facial skin, but also on the skin of your whole body.

The best tips for maintaining a beautiful complexion come from people that use cosmetics everyday. Women who apply foundations to the skin will often rely on common sense because to be naturally beautiful a person only needs to keep the facial areas clean and moisturized and the woman will look more beautiful if they maintain a strict regimen of getting enough sleep each night. Proper nutrition is another secret to keeping skin healthy and gorgeous.

Most women worry about aging but do not take advantage of beauty products that will keep fine lines from forming. Use facial creams with hydrating formulas and any lines that exist will be less noticeable. The body is comprised mainly of water and using products with hydrating properties will replace moisture lost throughout the day. Consuming eight glasses of water or more per day will remove toxins from the body that encourage aging. To keep fine lines from forming while outdoors, use sunglasses to help reduce eye damage and the squinting that produces wrinkles around the eyes.

Women should use makeup foundations that are formulated with vitamins and nutrients to meet the needs of normal, dry, extra dry or oily skin types and facial skin that has reached a certain age. Older women can benefit from facials once a week to remove impurities that remain in the skin after a vigorous cleaning regimen. People with oily skin types can use oil-free foundations to remove the shine and to help keeps pores free from blackheads and free from bacteria that could cause acne blemishes.

Women can perform facial exercises any time during the day to tighten skin. Common areas for sagging facial skin are around the mouth and along the cheeks. By forming an O with the lips, a woman can exercise those sagging skin areas and lessen the visible effects of the aging process. To heal skin on several body areas, the use of sandalwood has been proven to be very efficient. Facial skin can become red and irritated from facial masks and sandalwood will make the skin look calm and relaxed, with no signs of irritation after the facial treatment is finished.

Aloe vera has been used as a moisturizing agent in lotions and as a healing agent on skin abrasions. Aloe gel can be used as a pain reliever when the skin has been overexposed to sunlight and the moisturizing properties of the aloe plant will keep skin from peeling off. Aloe has been proven to repair skin damaged from chemical peels and keep scarring to a minimum for those women who have recently had a baby. Any topical lotion product that contains collagen will help replace elasticity and firmness to skin areas on the stomach and breasts.

Many women accumulate a great deal of cosmetics during a year. To keep skin healthy and vibrant, facial powders, mascara, eye liners and eye shadows should be replaced often because bacteria will form on these items from regular use. This simple act will often solve some beauty problems that people are experiencing such as skin irritations, acne and rashes. Cosmetics that contain antioxidants are best because these agents prevent free radicals from surviving on the skin.
