Plant Sterols - Studies suggest that plant sterols play a key role in lowering cholesterol.

The FDA approves the following statement regarding Plant Sterols:

Foods containing at least 0.4 grams of plant sterols, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily intake of at least 0.8 grams and as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Two servings (4 ounces) of Monavie Pulse contains 0.8 grams of plant sterols.

Resveratrol - Supports your cardiovascular system by helping protect healthy blood vessels.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids - Research has shown omega-3s to be critical to joint, respiratory and cardiovascular health, normal cholesterol, HDL and triglyceride levels. Omega-3s support blood circulation to the body, the immune system, the gastrointestinal tract and the kidneys.

The FDA has approved the use of the statement:

The scientific evidence about whether omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease is suggestive, but not conclusive.
