JUICE PLUS+ - THE SMART WAY OF ENSURING YOU GET THE RECOMMENDED DAILY INTAKE OF ALL YOUR NUTRIENTS

About the Author

I am Mary Branson. I am a holistic health coach certified through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I am a Mindfulness Educator trained through Mindful Schools. I am also a teacher, a nanny, and a tutor. I have been blessed for the last seven years to be a part of the Juice Plus+ company where I am on a mission of inspiring healthy living around the world.

A glimpse of me 7 years ago. I had terrible allergies which I took Zyrtec D for every day. I hated the way it made me feel and hated having to take it every day just to manage my symptoms. I was on Pantoprazole twice a day to manage my reflux. I was on migraine maintenance medication. And my eyesight appeared to be deteriorating. I had also gained about 25 pounds of unnecessary weight. To put it bluntly, I was a mess at 50 years old. But sadly, this is the norm for so many people.

A glimpse of me now. My allergies are gone, I am off my reflux medication, I haven’t had a migraine in almost 7 years, and I don’t need anything for glasses. I also lost 25 pounds. I am healthier now at 56 than I have ever been and feel great! I don’t take any medications. The only things I take are the Juice Plus+ capsules and a Vitamin D. I also enjoy their smoothies and bars every day and grow my own food on their Tower Garden.

What Does It Mean To Be Healthy?

There are really four core pillars to achieving optimal health. These are:

● drinking enough water
● getting enough sleep
● getting enough exercise
● proper nutrition

Throughout all these core pillars, the key is to manage our stress and keep it minimal at best. It’s very hard in this fast-paced world to get back to the basics and balance everything. Juice Plus+ is a company that focuses on all four pillars to great health, providing education and tips to try to incorporate these into our daily lives for a better well-being.

Product range of Juice Plus+ Capsules

The products are sold in 26 countries and growing and are the top selling nutritional product in the world!

The flagship product of the company was created in 1993 called the Juice Plus+ fruit and veggie capsules. These capsules contain 15 different fruits and vegetables that are crushed and dried under a very low heat so none of the nutrients are lost, and the labile ingredients remain intact. What is unique about this product is that it carries a nutrition label because it contains only plant derived materials. The extensive clinical research on the product makes it the most thoroughly researched nutritional product in the world!

Realizing that children are also in a crisis of nutritional deficiency, the company created a soft chew blend like the capsules. Moreover, the company offers fruit and veggie soft chews or capsules free to children ages 4-24 for up to four years.

Another amazing product is the berry blend. Berries are critical to heart and lung health among other benefits, so the berry blend is invaluable to many people.

The last blend they created was the Omegas. Omegas are very essential fatty acids that are critical for our health and well-being. The company’s omega blend covers a full spectrum of omegas: 3, 5, 6, 7, and 9. The capsules are cold-fused and are completely plant based. Fish are known to be rich in omega fatty acids, but they only get those from the algae they eat. So, the company omits the fish, and the accompanying toxins, such as mercury, and focuses on the original source, the algae, which is a better source of omegas and more sustainable than fish. The omega blend also contains nutrition from pomegranate seed oil, raspberry seed oil, tomato seed oil, safflower seed oil, and sea buckthorn berry oil. The company’s clinical research has shown that their omega blend reached the omega 3 index in the body in half the time with half the dose as traditional omegas.

Smoothies

Whereas the capsules provide critical micronutrition that our body desperately needs, the company’s smoothies provide macro nutrition. The smoothies are vegan, kosher, low-glycemic, non-GMO, gluten free, and contain great sources of protein and fiber, all essential amino acids, and a powerful prebiotic blend. Their brand-new smoothie for athletes contains high protein, naturally sourced B vitamins, all essential amino acids and has so many health benefits. It supports muscle mass growth, energy production, mental performance, bone health and aids in recovery. These smoothies and their bars are great sources of nutrition.

Tower garden

The company’s last product is an amazing aeroponic growing system called the Tower Garden. This is an indoor/outdoor growing system that can be used year-round. Vine-ripened produce is so hard to come by that it’s great to be able to grow your own food in a simple, convenient way. There are close to 100 different plants, flowers, and herbs that can be grown on the Tower Garden. Research has proven that produce grown on the Tower Garden produces 30% more yield and grows 30% faster than traditional gardening. It also uses 90% less water and takes up very little space making it a great alternative for anyone wishing to grow their own food, especially those living in urban areas without a back garden!

Certification & Research Validation

All Juice Plus+ products have NSF certification which only one percent of nutritional supplements have. This verifies that the products are free of molds, heavy metals, toxins, herbicides, pesticides, etc. I love that all products have a nutrition label and do not interfere with any other medications or supplements that people may be taking.

It is vine-ripened produce with carefully selected fruits and vegetables that work in synergy in your body providing maximum benefit. The company has an impressive track record of gold standard, double blind, placebo controlled, third party clinical research studies conducted at leading hospitals and universities around the world and published in top medical and scientific journals.

The research has shown that the capsules are bioavailable, support cardiovascular wellness, support the function of the immune system, support healthy lung function, and supports healthy teeth and gums. They also reduce free radical damage and oxidative stress which can cause chronic inflammation. They help to lower this inflammation which is the leading cause of chronic illness and disease and helps heal autoimmune conditions. They have also been proven to affect the expression of our DNA turning off over 1,600 bad genes in our body and turning on over 600 good genes in a short amount of time. Their most recent research studies on cognitive health and gut health are quite impressive! Since the capsules work at the cellular level, our cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems become much healthier over time. The omegas have been proven to support brain function, support vision, and support heart health.
