What is this? Do you get it at GMC? Do you need an rx?

Its a whole food product. They dont call it a vitamin because it is 17 fruits, vegitables and grains freezed dried and put into a veggie cap. They have products like this at the health food but JP is bought online. Ive been doing a lot of research on it and it sounds great, a lot of docters recomened it. But Ive also read that its a scam. WHO TO BELIEVE? I was just wondering if anyone took it? Heres a website to check it out www.juiceplus.com/+ls89045

I actually take this drink called "Genesis" that is supposed to have a ton of Resverotrol (sp?) in it, which is the stuff that's in red wine. you can only get it online & my boyfriend says it's a total scam & i've looked up stuff on it online & read a lot of stuff on how it's a scam. It's from a company called Symmetry which has other "health & wellness" products. I don't know if you or anyone else has heard of this or what they think/what they've experienced. I like how it tastes, but I think it might be a scam. plus, it's super expensive. I assume Juice Plus is too since it sounds like a specialty thing where you get it online & everything? Wish I could help you out, but unfortunately I've never heard of it. Hopefully both of us aren't being scammed. :(

why not greens plus or e3alive
no scam here all ought off the shelf
regards Don

greens alive is another good one and they are bought off the shelf

I went ahead and ordered the juice plus to give it a try. a lot of docters seem to recomend it, so maybe its not a scam. If I dont notice a differance in how I feel in a month I think I'll try a vitamin called Alieve. My brother in law just started taking it which was recomended by a ND

I have a jack lalanne juicer and it works great for an easy energy lift and feeling of wellness.

I really don't advise people to take nutrition supplements or miracle foods like the one your describing. I would however recommend juicing some fruits and veggies as a pick me up on a daily basis. Juicing is the best way to get vitamins and minerals quickly. BEcause the juicer pulverizes the food all of the vitamins and minerals are freed up. The body quickly absorbs them. Also by juicing you are removing the fiber. This is actually good sometimes because fiber can inhibit vitamin absorption.
Try juicing carrots, and some fruits together. Or making a smoothie from kale, bananas and strawberries.
Maybe the juice plus will work for you, but try my advice too! :)

Juice Plus contains natural juice and powders from 15 fruits and vegetables and bran from 2 grains. They make it into capsule form and it retains as much of the original nutrition as possible. It also contains antioxidants. All of the above are considered "highly absorbable" and easly digested by your body. The main thing with Juice Plus is that it focuses on preventing health issues by supporting a health immune system. I like the Juice Plus Complete- it is a chocolate or vanilla powder and it helps control my appetite while also giving me the benefits of fruits and vegetables that I do not eat enough of daily. I even drink it as a snack in the evenings. There are people that say it is a scam. But I work in the health industry and I don't think you can go wrong by trying to get as many benefits from fruits and vegetables as you can. The average american does not even come close to eating their recommended daily servings of either... all juice plus does is help you bridge the gap between what you eat and what you miss in your everyday diet. Check it out online at www.kellihjuiceplus.com.

I understand the bridging the gap thing. I just wish that people would realize you really can't bridge that gap. I mean you can kinda help it, but you can't get over it unless you eat the fruits, vegetables and whole grains that you know you SHOULD be getting. I worry that people use supplements as a crutch and an excuse not to try so hard. Of course this isn't true of everyone, but a large majority.

While I understand there is great intention and I agree that everyone should eat fresh fruits and vegatables, unless you are consuming at a min 5-8 servings of fruits and vegatables per day, you simply are not getting all the vitamins and minerals that your body needs. Even those that are getting up to 8 servings per day will lack certain vit/min since generally soils have been overcultivated over the past 30 years (Our soils are not as mineral rich as they used to be 30 years ago). For example Riboflavin helps in the repair and maintenance of the body, namely your skin, hair and eyes. It is a necessary vitamin to metabolize fats, carbohydrates and proteins into energy for use in the body. It also helps absorb other vitamins and minerals into the body. Since Riboflavin is easily absorbed, yet cannot be stored, you need a recommended DAILY intake of between 1.1 and 1.3 mg per day. The best source of Riboflavin is in Bananas and Asparagus. In order to get the daily amount of Riboflavin, you would have to consume over 14 medium sized bananas!

JAMA in June 2002 published:
Two Harvard Medical School scientists recommended that all adults take daily vitamin supplements based on two factors the recognition that Americans do not
receive enough vitamins from their diet alone and the result of nearly 40 years of clinical research indicating vitamin supplementation plays an important role in long-term good health.

The important key here is getting vit/min that are high quality, are absorbable (most pills/powders per the Physicians Desk Reference are only 25% absorbable), Ionic and plant sourced derived.

So you have to do some homework to make sure you are getting a quality product.

The best thing for you is to get yourself a juiceman machine.

I've been taking Juice Plus for 3 months now. It's not a scam. It's not a miracle cure-all either. Basically it's a great way to get the nutrients you're missing or that are hard to get. A juice machine would work just as well if you use it, but I know my juicer sits un-used and dusty most days, while the pills get taken morning and night.

Ive been using jp for awhile now. I haven't had a cold sense Ive been on it. I feel pretty good too. I stopped taking it for a few weeks just to see if I noticed a differance and I noticed I have less energy when Im not on it. I try to juice raw fruits and vegitables, but I just dont have the time to do it daily, so Jp is a good alternative.

Here is my website Cwilliamssharesjuiceplus.com

I have been taking Juice Plus for the last four years. I was Diagnosed with SLE Lupus and was taking fourteen different Medications including Cellcept like a Cemo.
I no longer require any Medications at all and have not had any Lupus symptoms at all. My six year old has been taking it for the last three years and has not had a cold/flu
