Monavie and Diabetes

There is a new prestigious product out on the market by the name of Monavie and I wanted to analyze it in order to see if it lives up to its reputation. Monavie supposedly contains acai berry and many people see it as a scam. For those of who don't know about the acai berry, it has been known to help people lose weight. Despite the accusations against monavie, I hear that it has lowered a few peoples A1C levels by a point. Two people that I know, who are not in any way affiliated with Monavie, have had tremendous success with the product. One's A1C dropped by .3 and the others dropped by a whole point. So the question is, does the product have magic healing powers? The answer is no, but it does have some common and rare ingredients that have been known for centuries to heal the body. Bilberries, acerola cherries, and black choke berries are some rare ingredients that have been known for ages to aid the body.

Now, most of you are probably wondering about how much sugar is included in Monavie. To my knowledge, Monavie contains 4 grams of sugar and 2 carbs per 1oz serving. For a diabetic this is not bad at all. The truth of the matter is that you could obtain all of these items and see if they help to lower your blood sugar. On the other hand, you could just purchase Monavie, the choice is up to you. I have just purchased a bottle myself to see if it actually lowers my A1C. As soon as I obtain the results I will definitely post the results for all of my readers. I just want to make it known that I am in no way affiliated with Monavie. My intentions are to test the product myself and share the results in order to be a useful source of information to other diabetics. If you have used Monavie then please leave your results in the comment box below.

Glycemic Index Results for MonaVie, MonaVie Active, and MonaVie Pulse
 Low Impact, High Return
A new study on MonaVie™ and MonaVie Active™ juice products shows that both have a low Glycemic Index (GI) rating. MonaVie Pulse™ was shown to have a GI value on the “low end” of the intermediate category. As a measurement of how foods impact blood sugar levels, the GI rating is an important factor to consider when thinking about your overall health because Glucose levels that are too high or too low may cause health concerns. The human body uses glucose (sugar) in the blood for energy. Foods that cause your blood sugar level to rise quickly will often cause a rapid drop in blood sugar. Such a drop can leave you feeling tired and lacking energy when you need it most. While low glucose levels in the blood cause fatigue, high levels can be an indicator for diabetes. Thus, it is better to eat foods with a low GI, which provides a gradual release of glucose into your blood stream to help sustain balanced energy levels and diminish hunger between meals. Low GI diets may also improve the body’s sensitivity to insulin, aid with weight management, and support cardiovascular health. “Emerging research is showing that the consumption of low GI foods and beverages can assist with weight loss
as well as support the cardiovascular system,” says Penny Kris-Etherton, Ph.D., R.D., MonaVie Scientific Advisory Board member. “This research shows MonaVie’s strong commitment to science and dedication to research that advances knowledge about the health benefits of MonaVie products.”

Glycemic Index Results
The GI study was completed by Glycemic Index Laboratories, the premier facility for testing metabolic responses
to foods and ingredients. When MonaVie juices were compared with glucose, they were found to have a low to
low-intermediate GI. These results indicate that MonaVie juices may help maintain healthy blood glucose levels.
