Juice Plus and Vitamins

I have so many people ask me how does Juice Plus compare to vitamins. I thought this was worth sharing. Tina Wilson to Dr. Mays


If you are looking for the best vitamin supplement in town, then Juice Plus is not for you.
Juice Plus may come in a capsule, but it is not a vitamin and would not be found on the vitamin shelf if it were sold in the grocery store. As a FDA regulated food item, it would be found in the grocery aisle, if placed properly. You see, if I were to put an apple next to a bottle of vitamin C that had the highest RDA number, and that apple had a label on it, you would see that the average apple has only 5 or 6 mg of vitamin C in it (a dismal RDA). However, because an apple also has 10,000+ other plant nutrients that work in synergy together with the vitamin C, it would take 1,500 mg of isolated vitamin C to do the same job as the apple in protecting cells from free radicals-those culprits that cause oxidatvie stress and increase the aging process. These facts come from a study published in Nature, a leading scientific journal.

Now, here is the scary part: 1,500 mg of isolated vitamin C is toxi when introduced to cells in culture, as it hurts the DNA. The only reason people survive eating high amounts of isolated vitamins is because isolated vitamins are terribly "un-bioavailable.". That is, they are not readily absorbed by the cells and instead are flushed from the body as expensive urine-a process that can take its toll on the kidneys over time.
Furthermore, Dole Nutrition News reports that a "watershed study published last month in the Lancet reviewed 14 randomized trials with more than 170,000 participants to establish whether antioxidant pills reduce the risk of gastrointestinal cancer. Far from finding any protective benefits to such supplements, "on the contracy,they seem to increase overall mortality.". This is the difference between qualtative nutrition and quantitative nutrition.

Hence, Juice Plus, has become the number one encapsulated nutritional supplement in the world, because it provides the body with a new paradigm in supplementation-whole food supplementation that is bioavailable and works to slow down the aging process. It is not a matter of debate anymore. it has been proven by independent researchers all over the world.
