Is Juice Plus effective and FDA approved?
Yes, it is FDA approved. Nevertheless, so much of other rubbish is too. None of those “miracle juices” is what the producers are trying to prove. Especially ones cramped into little pill. Specific criticisms of Juice Plus include: the product is marketing being unsupported by research data, the product contains too little fruit and vegetable powder to offer significant clinical benefits, concerns that the effects can be attributed to the inclusion of added exogenous vitamins and micronutrients, and complaints that the products are excessively priced relative to their potential benefits. “No matter how compressed these capsules are, or what they contain, it’s impossible to deliver the nutrients of five to ten servings of fruits and vegetables in several capsules weighing 800 to 850 milligrams (about one-thirtieth of an ounce) each. It would take two dozen 800-milligram capsules just to provide all the nutrients in six ounces of carrot juice”.
