Juice Plus

I had an acupuncture appointment this morning. While there I noticed some supplements called Juice Plus+. I asked her about it and she says that is all she has taken for 7 years except for added Omega's and Vit. D. One is a vegetable mix and one a fruit mix. The downside is the vegetable one has two grains and one is oat bran. You take two of each a day and you are done. I am attaching the website. Looks like there has been a lot of research done on this. The cost is suppose to be less, about $1.50 a day.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this or is taking it.

Wouldn't it be better, (more nutritious and safer), to just eat fruits and vegetables?

It would be if I could tolerate them. They don't suggest this to replace daily servings, but to bridge the gap between what we should eat and what we do eat on a daily basis. I don't even know if I could tolerate these. I had to give up the Vegan Protein Powder I was putting in my smoothie. I know I'm not getting anywhere near an adequate amount of fruits and veggies. Hopefully, down the road I will.

The eating plan I'm on suggests we take a supplement called juice plus. I'll look & see if this is the same product. The plan calls for one to eat no more than a cup full of chewed food at each meal when you are hungry. A person is only to eat either 2 or 3 meals a day. Since you can't possibly get enough nutrients from 2 cups of food a day, they suggest this product. Most of my cup of food is vegetables, I seem to do OK.

I'll let you know what I find out. Of course most of the people on this program do not have MC or celiac, I have run across a few on their message board that say the are intolerant of wheat & follow a GF diet.
