Product Overview

Product Overview

What is MonaVie?

MonaVie is a functional beverage that was created under the watchful eye of a distinguished group of health care experts.

The Fruits

MonaVie is comprised of a blend of 19 different fruits (See image to the right). More than 100 fruits were tested and 19 were selected for their natural benefits.

Serving Size

The suggested serving size of MonaVie is 1-2 ounces, two times a day.

Açai Berry

The açai berry (pronounced ah-sah-ee) is the “Crown Jewel” found in the MonaVie blend. The ingredient label on the MonaVie bottle indicates the fruit that is most prevalent is the amazing açai berry…found only high atop towering palm trees in the lush, Amazon Rain Forest of South America.

The Acai Berry Found in MonaVie

The Acai berry is the leading fruit, by weight, in MonaVie. The Acai has been harvested and consumed for centuries and consumed by theYanomami Indians who, as NBC Today reported (5/13/2003), “have believed for centuries that the Acai holds unique power.” It is only in the last 3-5 years that the benefits of the Acai were discovered by the Brazilian elite and North Americans who ate the imported and highly perishable berry primarily as a frozen slush. Scientifically, the Acai berry stands up to the praise and the scrutiny.  This little, dark purple berry that dangles in clusters from the 25 foot Acai palm, nutritionally, has the ingredients of an ideal food:

• the protein profile of an egg
• essential fatty acids (omega 3,6, and 9)
• a low glycemic index
• a leading source of anthocyanins
• high in fiber
• more than 16 phytonutrients and anti-oxidants
• copious amounts of trace (i.e. Co, Cr, Cu, Mo) and macro minerals (i.e. Ca, Fe)
• packed with vitamins, including natural vitamin E (mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols)
• an excellent source of plant sterols, particularly Beta-Sitosterol

The Importance of Phytonutrients
Phytonutrients are dietary components that are somewhat new to the field of nutrition.Phytonutrients are generally described as chemical components of plants that favorably alter the structure or function of the body.

MonaVie includes 19 deeply pigmented fruits from around the world, since this provides the widest spectrum of phytonutrients and antioxidants.

Key Ingredient

The açai berry is the crown jewel of the MonaVie blend. When properly freeze-dried, açai boasts an ORAC score higher than that of any other fruit or vegetable tested to date, based on available USDA data.

It’s no wonder that for ages the indigenous cultures of the Amazon have revered açai as a source of health and vitality. Recently, modern science has validated the remarkable health benefits of this fruit, and studies have shown açai to contain the following beneficial nutrients:

• Antioxidants

• Phytonutrients

• Essential fatty acids (Omega 3)

• Amino acids

• Vitamins and minerals

• Complex carbohydrates

• Dietary fiber

• Trace minerals

Studies have also shown that freeze-dried açai powder boasts antioxidant capacity more than 15 times higher than blueberries and more than 20 times higher than raspberries. The final MonaVie blend incorporates the flavors and benefits of the açai berry and other healthful and delicious fruits What Makes MonaVie Unique?

• The Key Ingredient. MonaVie Pulse’s açai leverages an exclusive method of preserving the benefits of the açai berry into a freeze-dried powder.

Rich in polyphenols (a powerful form of antioxidants), açai is able to neutralize free radicals, thereby lowering oxidative stress. What’s important to note is that the açai berry’s nutritional properties are volatile and can easily be compromised if not properly harvested and processed.

The process used to make MonaVie’s açai freeze-dried powder is the most effective method of ensuring the nutrient content and antioxidant activity of the açai berry.
• The Blend. The açai berry is arguably the most important fruit
in existence for your health. Experts have referred to açai as the
world’s No. 1 superfood.

But nature has given us literally thousands of different phytonutrients and antioxidants that are important for our bodies to function optimally. While it may be difficult to get too much of a good thing, it would be unwise to ignore the variety of health benefits that nature’s other fruits have to offer. That is why MonaVie Pulse features a heart healthy blend of fruits specifically chosen for their ability to nutritionally support cardiovascular health—açai, concord grape, pineapple, apple, prickly pear, pomegranate, elderberry, yumberry, bilberry, blackberry, blueberry, cherry, cranberry, raspberry, aronia, acerola, strawberry, cupuaçu,and camu camu.
• The Process. MonaVie takes great care at each step in production to ensure the highest quality standards are met. (Harvesting) The process begins with the harvesting of the açai berry deep within the Amazon River basin. Unlike poachers, who illegally chop down an entire tree just to harvest a 12-inch section of the tree known as the palmito (or “heart of the palm”),our conservative harvesting method removes only the açai
berries, thereby preserving the life of the tree and promoting the preservation of the rainforest. (Processing) Açai is a powerful yet delicate fruit and much of its vitamin and nutrient content can be lost within 24 hours after harvesting, if not properly cared for. To preserve its full complement of nutrients, our açai is frozen soon after harvesting.

This frozen açai is then processed into our exclusive, freeze-dried formula, the most effective and nutrient-dense form of açai available.(Formulation and bottling) Most companies use a process known as kettle pasteurization. This process involves heating the formula for several hours and can inadvertently “cook out” many of the nutritional properties. However, MonaVie uses flash pasteurization in which the formula is rapidly heated, bottled, and cooled, thereby capturing the fresh flavors, vibrant colors,and dense nutrient content of the blend.
• The Science. Each step of this advanced and unique process takes place under the watchful eyes of our industry leading product development team and scientific advisors. Who Should Use This Product?
• MonaVie Pulse—Health conscious men and women who are concerned with cholesterol levels, heart health, and overall nutrition and well being.

• MonaVie Pulse Gel—Health conscious men and women who are on-the-go and want all the benefits of MonaVie Pulse juice in a convenient gel pack.

Did You Know?

• Every batch of each fruit in the MonaVie blend is tested before shipping to and after arriving in the United States to guarantee quality and freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take Pulse with MonaVie Active and/or MonaVieOriginal?

If I take both, how should I take them?

Yes, you can drink MonaVie Pulse with MonaVie Active or MonaVie Original. To get the full joint health benefits from MonaVie Active, you will need to drink 4 ounces of MonaVie Active as directed; to get the full benefits from the plant sterols, you will need to drink 4 ounces of MonaVie Pulse as directed.

WHAT ARE PLANT STEROLS?

Many plants include some substances known as plant sterols, phytochemical compounds found in the fatty tissues of plants. Wheat germ, sesame oil, wheat bran, and Brussels sprouts are rich in plant sterols. When plant sterols are consumed, they compete with cholesterol for absorption in the body. However, it is difficult to consume enough of these foods on a daily basis to derive enough plant sterols to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

CAN I TAKE MONAVIE PULSE WITH MY CHOLESTEROL- LOWERING MEDICAT ION?

MonaVie is unaware of interactions between the ingredients found in MonaVie Pulse and statin medications. However, prescription medications can often lead to adverse effects on the body regardless of your diet. Therefore, as with any prescription medication use or concern, it is wise to discuss your diet with your physician prior to use.

WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE OF MONAVIE PULSE JUICE AND MONAVIE PULSE GEL?

If unopened, MonaVie Pulse juice and gel have a shelf life of one year. If MonaVie Pulse juice has been opened, then the shelf life is approximately 15–30 days, as long as the opened bottle is refrigerated. MonaVie Pulse Gel should be consumed in its entirety as soon as it is opened.

What are polyphenols?

Polyphenols are a class of powerful antioxidants that are thought to be responsible for the French Paradox: the French have a diet relatively high in fat, yet have a decreased incidence of heart disease; this is attributed to the amount of polyphenols present in the grapes used to make French wines. MonaVie products contain a powerful variety of polyphenols, including anthocyanins.
