Juice Plus -- Whole Food Vitamins

Many of you may have questions about what vitamins you should take. I am actually not a promoter of taking multi-vitamins cause if you eat well rounded enough, you don’t need them. Also, there is a lot of research out showing that most vitamins don’t even have an effect on the body. A trip to my naturopathic doctor lead me to a pretty cool product that I think is doable for everyone. Now I am the first to be a skeptic on most of these “big promise” things on the market but I personally noticed a huge difference in myself after taking this. I actually got it for the kids and took it with them. Some of you may have already heard of it, it’s called Juice Plus. It comes in capsule or chewable form. I personally will be more consistent taking something if it tastes good so I opt for the chewables. I also can never get my husband to consume anything in pill form either. He has convinced himself that everything I give him hurts his stomach. He takes the chewables with us, which to me is monumental.

It is not a multi-vitamin, it is whole food nutrition. Basically what they do is juice 17 fruits and vegetables, eliminate the water and most of the fiber and what you are left with are the phytonutrients and antioxidants, which in case you don’t know are the biggest protectors from disease. Now I consider myself to be a pretty good eater, but we don’t come anywhere close to 17 fruits and veggies! I can also pretty much guarantee that the only produce my husband is eating is the lettuce on his bread and whatever I make for dinner. This is an awesome way to fill the gap between what we should be eating and what we actually get to eat each day.

Now I am also a research freak. I feel like I need to see the research to believe what I am hearing. There have been a lot of independent research studies on Juice Plus proving its effectiveness on the body.

I like this product so much I decided to become a distributor for them. Now I am the last person to be a fan of these types of businesses, but I really believe in this product. I actually had no idea there was a business option when I was taking them and was already telling people about them anyway.

So there is one more really cool thing for all us parents. They have this Children’s Health Study they are doing. For every adult that orders a monthly supply one child between the ages of 4-18 gets Juice Plus free for 3 years.

The cost of a month supply of Juice Plus (Garden and Orchard blends) is $41.75 for the capsules and $44.50 for the chewables. The children’s month supply is $22.75. They also have other products, Vineyard blend and meal replacement if you’re interested.

Going back to what I said before, I feel that this is something everyone can realistically do to keep themselves healthy. Some of you might think it’s too expensive but if you think about it spending $1.40 a day for 17 fruits and veggies is nothing. My motto when it comes to your health is, you can pay now or pay later.
