• According to the National Cancer Institute "antioxidants are
• substances that may protect cells from the damage caused by unstable
• molecules known as free radicals. Examples of antioxidants include
• beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamins C and E, and other substances. Many of
• these antioxidant substances come from fruits and vegetables."Fruits
• and vegetables contain a powerful array of antioxidants that offer
• protection for our bodies. Beta-carotene is found in many fruits and
• vegetables that are orange in color, including carrots, Some green leafy
• vegetables such as spinach and kale are also rich in beta-carotene.Lutein, best known for its association with healthy eyes, is abundant in green, leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale. Lycopene is a potent antioxidant found in abundance in tomatoes. Vitamin
• C is found in many fruits and vegetables such as apples, oranges, pineapple, acerola cherries, papaya, carrots, parsley, kale, broccoli,
• cabbage, spinach, and tomatoes. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant found in green leafy vegetables such as spinach and broccoli.

• nvestigators at the Tokyo Women's Medical University and the Medical University of Vienna
• studied the bioavailability (absorption by the body) of select
• nutrients found in Juice Plus+ and concluded that Juice Plus+
• effectively increases antioxidant nutrients and folate. Other published
• studies have also shown various phytonutrients in Juice Plus+ are
• bioavailable. These studies were conducted by independent researchers at
• the Georgetown/UCLA, University of Sydney in Australia, King's College in London, Brigham Young University, the University of Arizona, the University of Florida and the University of Texas Health Science Center.

• Several of these bioavailability studies also reported improved
• antioxidant capacity and reduced lipid peroxides, a key indicator of
• oxidative stress. In addition, researchers at the Medical University of Graz, Austria and the University of North Carolina, Greensboro
• found that Juice Plus+ Orchard, Garden and Vineyard Blends together
• were effective in reducing a marker for oxidative stress associated with
• aerobic exercise.

• Chronic systemic inflammation is invisible, and can contribute to an
• increased risk for developing chronic conditions such as cardiovascular
• disease, diabetes, and cancer. Investigators at the University of South Carolina found Juice Plus+ significantly decreased levels of three key biomarkers of inflammation in both groups.

• A healthy immune system protects the body, and good nutrition is
• important for a healthy immune system. Published clinical research
• indicated that Juice Plus+ supports several measures of immune function -
• in law school students at the University of Florida, in elderly people in a study conducted at the University of Arizona, and in healthcare professionals with direct patient contact at Charité University Hospital in Berlin, Germany.

• A diet rich in nutrition from fruits and vegetables is also important to
• protect DNA from oxidative damage, which can weaken the structural
• integrity of DNA. DNA becomes damaged and fragile when exposed to
• oxidative stress; antioxidants from fruits and vegetables can help
• protect DNA from this damage. Studies conducted have shown a reduction
• in DNA damage after taking Juice Plus+ in young adults at the University of Florida and in an elderly population at Brigham Young University.

• Homocysteine is an amino
• acid that is found in the blood. Maintaining healthy homocysteine levels
• is important for the heart and cardiovascular system. A clinical study
• at the University of Sydney in Australia
• reported a reduction in homocysteine levels - even though the levels of
• the Australian subjects were already within an acceptable range.
• Researchers in Foggia, Italy also found a reduction of homocysteine levels in subjects with elevated levels of homocysteine. Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine
• found that subjects who consumed Juice Plus+ were better able to
• maintain the elasticity of arteries, even after a high-fat meal. Investigators at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine
• monitored several measures of vascular health in a low risk population
• who took Juice Plus+ for two years and noted various improvements with
• no adverse side effects.

• Juice Plus+® is a simple,
• convenient, and inexpensive way to add more nutrition from fruits and
• vegetables to your diet, every day. Taking Juice Plus+ is the next best
• thing to eating fruits and vegetables. Of course, there is no substitute
• for eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. But because most
• people simply can't, don't, or won't, Juice Plus+ helps fill that gap. Juice
• Plus+ provides nutrition from 17 different fruits, vegetables, and
• grains. Each ingredient is specially selected to provide you with a wide
• range of nutritional benefits. Juice Plus+ contains not only a much
• wider variety of naturally occurring vitamins than vitamin supplements,
• but it also contains other phytonutrients, antioxidants, and nutrients —
• even some of the fiber — found in the fruits and vegetables it's made
• from. These nutrients work together in combination to provide you more
• of the nutritional benefits of eating healthful whole foods.

Sixteen studies, published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, by leading researchers around the world, show that Juice Plus+:

Delivers key phytonutrients that are absorbed by the body.

Reduces markers of oxidative stress.

Positively impacts markers of systemic inflammation.

Helps support a healthy immune system.

Helps protect DNA.

Positively impacts several key indicators of cardiovascular wellness.
