MonaVie, maker of the premier blend of the Brazilian açai berry, announced today the launch of a new product in its line of functional beverages—MonaVie Pulse. A scientifically formulated açai infusion, new MonaVie Pulse was created to support the cardiovascular system and help maintain existing healthy cholesterol levels.

MonaVie Pulse will be available to consumers in the United States on Friday, September 26, 2008, through MonaVie’s network of independent distributors. Preview new MonaVie Pulse.

“MonaVie is pleased to introduce the first açai beverage to address the demand for foods delivering heart beneficial ingredients, as consumer concerns over heart related issues continue to increase,” says Vice President of Product Management, Jeff Graham. “What better timing than during National Cholesterol Education Month to introduce MonaVie Pulse and educate our distributor workforce on heart healthy habits which are a pivotal part of MonaVie’s health and wellness mission.”

As a companion to MonaVie Original and Active products, the new MonaVie Pulse formula is enriched with plant sterols, which studies suggest play a key factor in lowering cholesterol. The new functional beverage serves as a natural and convenient alternative to encapsulated nutritional supplements, delivering a powerful dose of antioxidants and phytonutrients that nutritionally support cardiovascular health. The heart-healthy formula contains a blend of plant sterols, resveratrol and omega 3 fatty acids.

“A daily serving of MonaVie Pulse gives you 0.8 grams per day of plant sterols, delivering the benefits you need to potentially impact the health of your heart,” says Graham.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, foods containing at least 0.4 grams per serving of plant sterols, eaten twice daily with meals for a daily total intake of at least 0.8 grams and as a part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.

The MonaVie formula is a blend of 19 fruits, including the antioxidant-rich açai berry as the foundation ingredient. Açai contains concentrated levels of anthocyanins—a family of antioxidants that assists in neutralizing the harmful effects free radicals can have on the body. Unsaturated fats found in the açai fruit at unusually high concentrations facilitate the fruit’s antioxidant compounds. 

The new product was announced at the 4-day convention which was held this week in Salt Lake City, Utah.

A new clinical study, conducted by Bell Ventures, in Los Angeles, CA, shows that drinking a high anti-oxidant fruit beverage every day, can change your health for the better in only one short week. Needless to say, this is great news for the network marketing industry who leads the way in anti-oxidant packed super fruit beverages. The study used anti-oxidant beverage ViaViente a drink packed with mineral and anti-oxidant packed fruits.

The subjects involved in the study, drank nutritional beverage ViaViente twice a day for one week. After that week, the participants showed an increase in cardiovascular health, including a reduction of thromboxane, a chemical in the human metabolism which contributes to vasoconstriction and can lead to high blood pressure and clot formation.

ViaViente, was first made available to the public in 2003 after over a decade of scientific study. The beverage contains over 13 fruits, seeds and all, as well as minerals and vitamins straight from the earth. Recent studies have shown that ViaViente’s nutritional content is superior to many other competitors.

In a recent study, A Consumer Conscious Look at Six Premium Anti-Oxidant Products, done by Frank Ervolino, ND,- ViaViente ranked number on in levels of anti-oxidants as well as benefits to the human body and showed great promise above all others in improving overall health.

Jus has been growing in popularity over the last year, and the company is well funded and the product has received some good press. With all the talk of super-fruits lately, like the goji, the acai, and the mangosteen, its not surprising someone finally put them all in one.

Jus only has one product right now, but….that hasn’t stopped other companies from becoming multi million dollar companies (XanGo, MonaVie) So….if you are looking for a new opportunity, and would love a chance to win a great prize, this might be for you.

As a side note….The scooter is also environmentally friendly….getting over 100 miles a gallon, so you can re-coup the starter kit cost in gas savings! Jus will even throw in a helmet for the winner.
