Juice Plus is a whole foods concentrate, providing the nutritional essence of 17 different fruits,vegetables, and grains in convenient capsule form. Taking just 4 capsules a day, 2 of the Orchard Blend and 2 of the Garden Blend, can provide the variety of antioxidants and phytochemicals that only whole foods can offer for about $1.30 per day.
My husband has been taking Juice Plus for 3 years and has been getting a significant health benefit. I attributed that mostly to the fact that he does not eat many vegetables or whole grains so was in need of an additional source of nutrients. I doubted that a concentrated fruit and vegetable supplement could have much effect on someone like me who has been eating a very good diet for a long time.
Something I had not taken into account was the fact that the 4 capsules contain the phytochemicals from a larger volume of fruits and vegetables than most people consume in their daily diet. The Orchard Blend contains a full serving of 7 fruits and the Garden Blend has the nutritional content of between a half and a full cup each of 8 vegetables plus the fiber from two grains. By the proprietary process that Juice Plus has developed, the water, bulk, sugar and salt are removed in a refrigerated vacuum. The remaining phytonutrients, antioxidents, and enzymes take up so little space they can fit into just 4 capsules. So recently I decided to try it and was amazed at the large increase in energy, more restful sleep, and improved digestion I experienced. I feel years younger and am now a believer in the efficacy of this unique source of vital and naturally-occurring nutritional components.
This supplement has been the subject of independent scientific research for the past 13 years and is now the most thoroughly tested nutritional product in the world.
Multiple clinical research studies at internationally-known institutions of higher education show that Juice Plus:
- Is a concentrated source of phytonutrients
- Raises serum antioxidant levels and enhances immune function
- Lowers serum lipid peroxides and homocysteine (implicated in the development of cancer and heart disease)
- Helps protect cell DNA from damage due to oxidative stress
- Reduces the blood vessel constriction that normally follows the ingestion of a high fat meal. (Most heart attacks and strokes occur after eating a meal because of this phenomenon.)

In addition to the Orchard and Garden Blend capsules, their Vineyard Blend is a proprietary formulation aimed at optimizing cardiovascular health. Nine varieties of berries and grapes are combined with green tea, ginger, and artichoke, resulting in a powerful concentration of antioxidant flavonoids and polyphenols. These impart additional protection against the development of degenerative disease.
The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend 7 to 13 servings of fruits and vegetables per day for adults, depending on age, gender, and level of physical activity. The Guidelines recommend school-age chldren to consume 2 1/2 cups of vegetables and 1 1/2 cups of fruit daily. I don't believe I've ever met a child who ate that much vegetables in one day.
In view of the fact that almost no-one is getting the recommended quantities of fruit and vegetables in their diet, it is prudent to supplement with a whole food product that can make up for the missing nutrition. Juice Plus can prevent or lessen the degenerative consequences of much of our unbalanced eating, thereby affording a longer, healither, more productive life.
Much of our disease conditions are characterized by inflammation. This supplement has the wonderful propensity to reduce, limit, or totally eliminate inflammation. The primary function of the product, however, is to protect organs, blood vessels, and all functions of the body from attack by free radicals. The fruits, vegetables, and berries in Juice Plus have the ability to donate an electron without themselves becoming unstable. In this way they preserve homeostasis, that is, balance and equilibrium within the body, which is necessary for disease prevention.
Through the Children’s Research Foundation, a child can receive Juice Plus for up to 3 years free of charge. The only requirements are that an adult is taking Juice Plus, the child is between the ages of 6 and 15 years, and the adult fills out a quarterly questionnaire regarding the child’s diet and health. This way, two parents taking Juice Plus can often receive it free for two of their children.
