Juice Plus Review and Giveaway

I am more than willing to admit we are a house divided. John Mark and Regan are meat and potato people, while Rebecca and I are fruit and veggie people. I love fresh fruits and vegetables, and a lot of my groceries are from the produce section....but getting the other half of the family to actually eat them is another story.

Several years ago I heard about JuicePlus on the Oprah Winfrey Show in fact it was one of her favorite things. Then my sister and her family started taking them and I got the real information. The people at juice plus understand that vitamins and supplements do not work because they have extracted them from the fruits and vegetables where they originally belonged. Instead the revolutionized the health industry by dehydrating down to powder whole fruits and vegetables in their full original form. Each capsule contains 7 fruits (red bottle) and 10 vegetables (green bottle) in each capsule.....WOW! Here is what the company has to say.

Juice Plus+® . . .The Concept
Vegetable gardens. Fruit orchards. They give us nature's bounty and provide the foundation for healthy living and good nutrition.

The latest dietary guidelines and clinical research consistently emphasize that people need to eat more fruits and vegetables to improve their chances of living long and healthy lives. And scientists learn more every day about the nutritional power packed into every tomato, cranberry, and piece of broccoli. Antioxidants. Phytonutrients. Vitamins. Fiber. And more.

Juice Plus+ provides the nutrition from 17 different fruits, vegetables, and grains in convenient and inexpensive capsule form. Juice Plus+ Orchard Blend contains seven of the most nutritious fruits around: apples, oranges, pineapple, cranberries, peaches, acerola cherries, and papaya. Juice Plus+ Garden Blend contains ten nutrient-dense vegetables and grains: carrots, parsley, beets, kale, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, tomatoes, and rice bran and oat bran.

Taking Juice Plus+ capsules every day provides the nutritional foundation we so desperately need that is so lacking in our diets today


In my personal experience we have been taking our capsules daily for two years now. The girls have been a lot healthier in that they very rarely miss school, have colds/flu/viruses. Regan has had better focus, less allergy problems, regular bowel movements, and she works better in school. I have been really healthy with no major illnesses for two years, I have a lot of energy. For my mother it has helped boost her immune system....but don't just take my word for it.

One of the things that makes JuicePlus amazing is the independent research done by major universities and research associations. Including studies in the Journal of Nutrition and backing from the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Association. It is also highly endorsed by my favorite renowned pediatrician Dr. Sears.

Now you can try it on your own and see the results for yourself. One winner on this blog will get the choice of one of these JuicePlus products:

  1. One Month Adult supply capsules (one red bottle of fruits one green bottle of vegetables)
  2. Two month supply of Children's Gummies ( Red container of fruits and green container of vegetables.
  3. A canister of Juice Plus Complete to make protein drinks and smoothies with all the added benefits of Juice Plus in a Vanilla Powder form.

Rebecca said...

Interesting read. I was previously unaware that there was a product available which provided these nutrients in a more readily absorbable (sic?) fashion that had been studied in such a complete and reputable fashion. Well done! I also learned that this product may very well be out of my 'trial' budget range. I wonder if 30 days is enough time to verify it is worth investing in?

Juice Plus certainly brings back some memories. My mom was on it for a while and she always tried to get me to take these. I'm just horrible in the sense that I can't even remember to take a daily vitamin. My memory is that good.

Catherine and Zoe said...

beyond just the fruits and veggies in every capsule, they actually taste pretty good (or they did back when i took it)

my sister has a terminal illness, and there are myriads of chronic problems that go with that. when she was on juice plus, she went completely off of antibiotics and steroids that year. it later was hard to keep up with because certain fruits and vegetables were interacting with her more intense drugs, and she wasn't able to continue juice plus.
but it's an amazing product, one that i have wanted to retry, 10 years later.

Purplemommi said...

A diet rich in nutrition from fruits and vegetables is also important to protect DNA from oxidative damage, which can weaken the structural integrity of DNA. DNA becomes damaged and fragile when exposed to oxidative stress; antioxidants from fruits and vegetables can help protect DNA from this damage.
I really want to try this! I want to know if it is as good as they say.

I have learned I should probably be taking this. ;-) Juice Plus+ contains not only a much wider variety of naturally occurring vitamins than vitamin supplements, but it also contains other phytonutrients, antioxidants, and nutrients -- even some of the fiber -- found in the fruits and vegetables it's made from. These nutrients work together in combination to provide you more of the nutritional benefits of eating healthful whole foods.
