MonaVie Pulse announced their new product Pulse back in September. The claim is that the new “functional” beverage was scientifically formulated to support the cardiovascular system and to help with cholesterol levels.

“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. 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.

I’m not an active MonaVIe distributor, but I am signed up. I’ve tried the product, but I don’t drink it daily as recommended by MonaVie. The MonaVie Active beverage I first tried definitely had a postive impact on my energy levels, and I would definitely be interested in trying the new product. What frustrates me is because MonaVie is supporting by a multi-level marketing system, the product is immediately disregarded by many. Yes, it’s probably the most expensive acai product I’ve tried, but it also had the most definite result for me as well. Relying on independant distributors to market you product doesn’t always work well. I know a handful of active distributors, but I hadn’t even heard of this new MonaVie Pulse product until this week, long after the product was released.

Regardless, has anyone tried this product that can comment on taste or any potential benefits?
