So if you know that you just can’t do this (see Parts 1 & 2, on right) or don’t want to try to do it right now, won’t be able to do it – to add those 10, 12 servings a day of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables to your diet - I want you to tell you about Juice Plus+, my nutritional "safety net".

Juice Plus+ is 17 of our most nutritious fruits, vegetables and grains. They are grown on good soil, they’re ripened on the plant (remember the importance of that step), they’re harvested at the peak of ripeness, and, within just a few days, they are put through a juicing process. They’re not dried first. They’re not frozen. The juicing process breaks down all the cells, liberating the nutrients in the cells and removes the bulk, or the fiber, in that food. The juice is treated in a manner at a low temperature and then a very rapid treatment to remove the water. All that’s left is the powder from the food that contains those thousands of micronutrients I talked about earlier. That powder is mixed with a little bit of fiber, and then put in capsules, chewable tablets and gummies. That sounded like a great idea to me when I first heard about it - but I was skeptical. I didn't know you could do that; I didn’t know it would work. I was being asked to believe that this company was taking a large pile of good looking nutritious food and shrinking it down to pill size and that I would still get everything I needed from it.  

But here’s why it does work: First, we’re not talking about the macronutrients - the proteins, fats, carbohydrates - we get plenty of those in our diet otherwise. We’re talking about those thousands of micronutrients that are present in extremely tiny amounts. And if you look at the size of a piece of fruit or a vegetable, well over 99% of that bulk is water and fiber and we’ve removed all of that, so you’re really left - volume wise - with just a very tiny amount. Now certainly if that was all we knew about it, you’d still have to decide whether or not you could believe that it would work, but thankfully there’s more to tell you about how it known that this works. When NSA introduced Juice Plus+ to the market 15+ years ago, shortly after that they launched a program of independent scientific evaluations of Juice Plus+ – ‘Let’s find out if this powder is anywhere nearly as good and as effective as we think it is’ they said. There have been at least eleven published studies done by reputable researchers at well known scientific and medical institutions around the world, and these are published in peer reviewed scientific journals. There are another dozen or so studies currently under way at the present time. So some of the basic things known from these studies is that the nutrition in Juice Plus+, once you put it into your gut with some water, these nutrients are very easily and readily absorbed into the blood stream where they can be delivered to the cells that need to use it to stay healthy (bioavailability), to stay well and keep your body well. Also know is that the antioxidant level goes way up, reducing the damage caused by those free radicals. It is know that the immune system functions better. Also that DNA suffers less damage; DNA, the genetic material in the cells, that runs that cell, can suffer damage from free radicals as well – that damage can lead to health problems. It's known that the blood vessels are more protected and behave more normally. There are a lot of things that are known already with many more studies underway around the world.  

My own belief in Juice Plus+ is based on the fact that this just makes sense to me. This nutrition makes sense because this is the nutrition from the diet that the human race has been using for however long we’ve been around. And we’re very clearly showing today – we’re proving in today’s lifestyles – that when you don’t eat it, you get sick – so it just makes perfect sense to me. Second, these studies clearly show that Juice Plus+ works. It makes a difference. And third, my own personal experience has shown me that what I’ve seen Juice Plus+ do for my loved ones has been very, very powerful. There’s just no doubt in my mind that Juice Plus is helping people w/ prevention – helping them stay well by supplying this whole food nutrition in an easy to take form. This nutrition is imperative if you want to stay as well as possible. You can decide how you want to get that nutrition - if you really think you can do it through diet then I certainly want you to change your diet. Make those changes; see if you can do it. And consider adding Juice Plus+ to your diet if you’re finding that you’re having trouble getting plenty of – and remember it’s 10, 12 , 13 servings a day of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, grains, nuts berries, beans, etc. – very difficult to do in today’s lifestyle. Know that Juice Plus+ helps fill in that gap – kind of like a nutritional "safety net" - reducing your risk of future problems and helping your body deal with whatever problems you might already have. The human body has a tremendous capacity to improve itself and stay well, but this nutrition is absolutely imperative. I hope you’ll take a good look at it.

I want all who read this to know that I did not create this page simply to sell Juice Plus. Yes, I am a distributor - I chose to become a Juice Plus Distributor after learning all of the above, and after having children and really wanting the best for them. Sure, being a stay-at-home-mom on a very limited budget I would appreciate any extra money I can make, but more than that I really love to educate people about why whole food nutrition is so important and how they can help themselves be more healthy. I have noticed a dramatic change in my family's health in the couple of years we have been taking Juice Plus supplements - seriously, if and when any of us gets sick we pop a little extra Juice Plus and it's gone in a few days rather than weeks! I only wish I had discovered this many years ago - when my diet was not so good - maybe I would not have ended up getting cancer. The product and reasearch studies speak for themselves - it is the most scientifically researched nutriceutical in the world and it works. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you leave feeling like you have a new base of knowledge about, and respect for, whole food nutrition. I welcome any comments you may have!
