So.....I typed this up to help you and others understand 😍🍒🥑🍇🍎🥕🌰😍
JP+ is the only whole food supplement that I’m aware of — it carries a Nutrition Facts label rather than a Supplement Label. So, it is different from a vitamin supplement in three ways: 1. Bioavailable 2. Provides thousands of nutrients compared to 100 or less in a vitamin and 3. Nutrients work together. They are made to need each other.
So to explain it a little more:
Juice Plus has had research studies done that have confirmed that it is Bio-available meaning that it is absorbed fully into the bloodstream. Our bodies recognize the "vehicle" that is carrying the phytonutrients and therefore it is able to process it and use what it needs and discard what it doesn't need. "Phyto" meaning plant. Unfortunately, most vitamins are not fully absorbed into the bloodstream.
Also, since Juice Plus is made from food (it has a nutrition label not a supplement label), it contains all of the thousands and thousands of phytonutrients. Scientists just choose the top 100 or so to put into Vitamins. Whereas, Juice Plus has 30 fruits and veggies so it contains all of each fruit & veggie's phytonutrients.
Also, fruits and veggies are intended to work together like an "orchestra" to play a "concert" meaning they work off each other. They need each other to trigger various nutrients once in the body. So we need the variety. Unfortunately, most people are unable to eat the variety and quantity of fruits and vegetables that our bodies need to function at optimal levels. (fight disease, prevent infection, reduce oxidative stress, protect DNA and the list goes on...)
