I've asked this once before, I think - but no replies. I'm desperately searching for supplements and I've heard of one called Juice Plus (I think you can buy it at health food stores now - formerly only sold through individuals). There was one formula for veggies and one for fruits - and I just wondered if anyone had ever tried it. Please pardon the "repeat" - won't post this again if I don't get any replies. Thanks a bunch! 
Blessings,

Hi,
Yes, I take Juice Plus+ and I love it. I just started my twenty-one-year-old son on the supplements too. I don't know if they are sold in health food stores as I order my product through a Juice Plus+ representative.
They have a website, Juice Plus+, which explains the benefits of Juice Plus+ far better than I can. The short version is that the capsules are made up of 17 different fruits, vegetables, and grains--plus fiber blends and acidophilus. They are gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free. There is nothing herbal or synthetic in the capsules.
I like knowing that even if I don't eat all the fruits and vegetables that I should, I'm getting the same nutrition as if I had eaten them. In addition, I've stopped taking almost all my other supplements because I no longer need them. It has turned out to be less expensive and less of a bother to take fewer pills every day.
Juice Plus+ has extensive medical research studies showing the benefits of Juice Plus+. One of the things that impressed me are the bio-availability studies that show that the benefits of Juice Plus+ are absorbed into the body. (So many vitamins have coatings that prevent the body from absorbing all the nutrients.)
At first I was worried about the fiber and my IBS, but I have had no problems at all.
I am NOT a Juice Plus+ sales representative, but I believe very strongly in the product and would recommend it highly. I can also put anyone in touch with my rep if they have specific questions for her. She is very knowledgeable about nutrition and Juice Plus+ and all the medical research studies that have been done.

Hi. My naturopath recommends them highly. He offers them for sale in his office, and after reading BarbT's post, I think I will get some and try them out. I hate veggies, unless they are in juice form. Anything that could help me get the benefits of veggies would be most welcome.

Barb & Wolfie, thanks so much! I'm going to the website and find a rep! This may be just what I need since surgery is coming up soon! Many, many thanks!

Kaybee,
I can give you the e-mail address of my representative if you'd like. She's extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. She also knows a lot about nutrition.
Let me know and I'll send you her e-mail address.

Do you still take JuciePlus? I have been taking it for over a year. I posted "My IBS story" on this site. I got some reactions about the "selling" part of it but I am really curious to know about others who have had the same results as I have using JuicePlus.
Thanks
Terry
