MONA·VIE Pulse
MonaVie Pulse is scientifically formulated with 19 fruits, including the superfruit açai, delivering powerful antioxidants to nutritionally support your cardiovascular system. With added benefits of plant sterols (which studies suggest play a key factor in lowering cholesterol), resveratrol, and omega-3 fatty acids, maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system and healthy cholesterol levels has never been easier.
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.
How do plant sterols work?
From your body’s point of view, plant sterols look a lot like cholesterol. Studies suggest that as you eat a meal with sufficient amounts of plant sterols, the body absorbs less cholesterol because plant sterols actually compete with cholesterol for absorption in the body. Foods containing at least 0.4 g per serving of plant sterol esters, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 0.8 g, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Two servings of MonaVie Pulse juice (4 oz.) supply 0.8 g of plant sterols.
How long do I need to consume MonaVie Pulse before changes are seen?
Studies have been conducted on the plant sterols contained in MonaVie Pulse. In these studies, cholesterol-lowering benefits were detected after consuming 0.8 grams of plant sterols daily for 4 weeks or more. MonaVie is currently conducting a study to determine whether Pulse, which contains 0.8 grams of plant sterols in 4 oz. of juice, is able to produce the same benefits over the same amount of time.
Are plant sterols safe?

However, if you have a specific concern, health condition, or question regarding the consumption of plant sterols, we recommend you consult with your physician prior to consuming MonaVie Pulse.

Why should I be concerned about my cholesterol?
According to the American Heart Association, elevated blood cholesterol is a major risk factor in cardiovascular health. Nearly 100 million Americans have elevated cholesterol (>200 mg/dL) and, oftentimes, they don’t even know it. Taking action now to maintain healthy cholesterol levels will help prevent such problems from arising.
Cholesterol levels can often be modified by lifestyle changes, such as eating a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, and high in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. MonaVie Pulse contains plant sterols, which studies suggest play a key role in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range. Consuming plant sterols as a regular part of a healthy diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol provides another natural option in the maintenance of cardiovascular health.
Do governments or professional health associations recommend consuming plant sterols?

Have any clinical trials been done with plant sterols?
