Monavie (M)mun Juice Can Strengthen Your Immune System During Stressful Holidays

Research Confirms That Stress Weakens Immune System, Making Us More Susceptible to Illness

(PRWEB) November 30, 2011

While the Holiday Season is a time of fun-filled traditions, family time and celebrations, it is also one of the most stressful times of the year. And research has proven that the relationship between stress and decreased immune function increases an individual's susceptibility to the common cold and upper respiratory tract infections (URTI)¹.

MonaVie's M)mūn">(M)mūn Juice—with Wellmune WGP (beta glucan)—is an all-natural blend of 19 fruits, including the powerful acai berry, that offers an alternative to those seeking to boost their immune system during the holidays.

Several peer-reviewed clinical research studies have consistently demonstrated that Wellmune WGP can strengthen the immune system during times of stress. And a recently completed human study showed that individuals under moderate stress who consumed MonaVie's (M)mun , containing both the acai berry and Wellmune WGP, experienced 37% fewer URTI complaints, and the intensity of those who experienced symptoms were considerably less than the placebo group.²

“These study results are consistent with eight other clinical studies demonstrating the ability of Wellmune WGP to reduce the incidence of URTI symptoms in individuals experiencing high levels of physical or lifestyle stress,” said Michael T. Murray, N.D., one of the world's leading authorities on natural medicine and the author of more than 30 books on health and nutrition. “These peer-reviewed studies included research with firefighters, marathoners, medical students and people with high lifestyle stress. Wellmune provides natural immune support against stress-related health challenges.”

MonaVie's chief marketing officer, Jeff Cohen, elaborated on why MonaVie is sending this message now. “We know how stressful the time between Thanksgiving and New Years can be,” he said. “While many people turn to pharmaceutical products as preventive measures to maintain good health during the stressful Holiday Season, MonaVie wants to make consumers aware that our (M)mūn product can provide a natural alternative for maintaining good health during this important time of year.”
