• The Key Ingredient. MonaVie Pulse’s acai leverages an exclusive method of preserving the benefits of the acai berry into a freeze-dried powder. Rich in polyphenols (a powerful form of antioxidants), acai is able to neutralize free radicals, thereby lowering oxidative stress. What’s important to note is that the acai berry’s nutritional properties are volatile and can easily be compromised if not properly harvested and processed. The process used to make MonaVie’s acai freeze-dried powder is the most effective method of ensuring the nutrient content and antioxidant activity of the acai berry.
• The Blend. The acai berry is arguably the most important fruit in existence for your health. Experts have referred to acai is one of nature’s top superfoods. 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—acai berry, concord grape, pineapple, apple, prickly pear, pomegranate, elderberry, yumberry, bilberry, blackberry, blueberry, cherry, cranberry, raspberry, aronia, acerola, strawberry, cupuacu, 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 acai 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 acai berries, thereby preserving the life of the tree and promoting the preservation of the rainforest.

(Processing) Acai 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 acai is frozen soon after harvesting. This frozen acai is then processed into our exclusive, freeze-dried formula, the most effective and nutrient-dense form of acai 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.

• 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.

• 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.

MonaVie Pulse FaQs 1. What is MonaVie 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.
2. What are plant sterols?
Many plants include some substance 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. are plant sterols safe?
numerous human and toxicological studies conducted with plant sterols have shown no adverse effects in most populations. 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.
6. is MonaVie Pulse safe for women who may be pregnant or lactating?
if you are pregnant or lactating and have a specific concern or question about consuming MonaVie Pulse, we recommend you
consult with your physician prior to consuming the product.
MonaVie goes to great lengths to ensure its products are safe. This includes using ingredients with Generally Recognized as safe
(GRas) status as required by the FDa prior to sale. MonaVie also ensures that its products are manufactured according to Current
Good Manufacturing Practices as required by the FDa.

in addition to these requirements, MonaVie employs rigorous testing to ensure its products meet its pre-determined high quality standards for safety and purity. However, despite our confidence in the safety of MonaVie Pulse, MonaVie does not replace the advice
of a physician.

7. Can i take MonaVie Pulse with my cholesterol-lowering medication?
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.
8. Can i take Pulse with active and/or original? 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.

9. 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.

10. Do governments or professional health associations recommend consuming plant sterols?
in the us, the national Cholesterol education Program (nCeP) suggests the use of plant sterols in conjunction with other lifestyle
changes produces positive effects on cholesterol levels achieved through dietary means. (The nCeP is a branch of the national
Heart, lung, and Blood institute of the national institutes of Health.
11. Have any clinical trials been done with plant sterols?
Plant sterols (phytosterols) have been clinically evaluated in many different populations, under different circumstances over the past
50 years. in a number of studies plant sterols have demonstrated the ability to improve cholesterol levels in humans. The health
benefits of phytosterols have been well established, and public health authorities, such as the us national Cholesterol education
Program (nCeP), are beginning to include phytosterols as part of their dietary recommendations (nCeP, 2001).
12. Can children consume MonaVie Pulse?
MonaVie Pulse is targeted for adults watching their cholesterol and concerned with heart health. although MonaVie has taken steps
to ensure this product is safe for consumption as a food, children should not normally be concerned with heart health or maintaining
healthy cholesterol levels. MonaVie original is a great product for children to consume.
13. What if i am concerned about cholesterol, joint health and antioxidant nutrition, but i only want to use one product?
Which product should i take?
all of the MonaVie products contain açai and a blend of 18 additional body-beneficial fruits. MonaVie original is for individuals
mainly interested in antioxidant nutrition and aging. Built on the foundation of MonaVie original, MonaVie active also provides the
additional benefits of glucosamine for joint health. MonaVie Pulse offers a potent blend of antioxidant nutrients for cardiovascular
health and enough plant sterols (.8 grams per 4 oz or 2 packets) to help maintain existing healthy cholesterol levels.
14. Why were plant sterols (phytosterols), omega-3 fatty acids, and resveratrol added? aren’t these already found in açai?
Plant sterols, often called phytosterols, are naturally occurring fats found in plants. açai, a source of healthy fats, does contain some
phytosterols. They are found in MonaVie active and original, but by adding more plant sterols to MonaVie Pulse, the product is
able to support a healthy heart and maintain existing healthy cholesterol levels.
15. What is a serving size of MonaVie Pulse juice and Gel?
Drink two ounces of MonaVie Pulse juice twice daily. one serving (two ounces) provides 0.4 grams of plant sterols. For Pulse Gel,
take one packet twice daily. one packet (one serving) also provides 0.4 grams of plant sterols.
16. How is Pulse Gel different from the juice?
MonaVie Pulse juice and gel are scientifically formulated with 19 fruits, including the superfruit açai, delivering powerful antioxidants to nutritionally support your cardiovascular system. Both the juice and gel provide 0.4 grams of plant sterols per serving. a
serving of Pulse juice is 2 ounces and a serving of Pulse Gel is 1 packet (1 ounce). You will receive the same benefits from products; however, the gel is more portable for convenience when on the go.
17. What new fruits have been added?
Concord grape, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, elderberry, yumberry, tart cherry, prickly pear, pineapple, and cupuaçu.
18. Why did MonaVie choose to add these fruits to the Pulse juice blend?
Concord grape, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, elderberry, yumberry, and tart cherry were identified for their antioxidant content, especially polyphenols. Diets rich in fruits that provide a variety of polyphenol antioxidants have been shown to benefit overall
health as well as the maintenance of cardiovascular health. Cupuaçu and yumberry help keep MonaVie on the cutting-edge of
nutritional trends. native to the amazon Rainforest, cupuaçu has been praised as one of the next great superfruits for its nutritional
properties. Pineapple and prickly pear have been added to enhance MonaVie Pulse’s flavor and nutritional profile.
19. How does the amount of açai found in Pulse compare to original and active? Does it contain more or less açai?
açai remains as the crown jewel and is the primary ingredient in MonaVie Pulse. The amount of açai in MonaVie Pulse is equivalent to MonaVie active and original.
