I took them as a child growing up for years and I attribute them to why I rarely got sick. I wish could afford to take them again!!! Seriously they're amazing. I still rarely get sick & continue to take cheap vitamins0

As far as he business goes, it's not a pyramid scheme. It's not a get rich quick scheme. It's actually a franchise and has 21 different offices in 21 different countries.
Um, yes it is. Just like Mary Kay, Avon, Tupperware, etc., are pyramid schemes. They call themselves "multilevel marketing," but that is just another name for a pyramid scheme. If it wasn't, why do the reps constantly try to talk their friends into selling it as well as buying it? Oh, I know -- because the more people you have beneath you IN THE PYRAMID, the more money you make.
Everything in your post I have seen posted on Facebook or sent to me in a PM or email 100 times from my friend who sells it. She sounds like a robot with the spoonfed marketing mumbo jumbo from the company.
The most ridiculous thing I've heard so far is that JP is BETTER than eating fresh, whole fruits and veggies because somehow our bodies don't actually absorb the nutrients from real food, but do absorb the nutrients from JP.
And, by the way, there are several vitamins that you can overdose on, even if you get them from "natural" sources and not supplements (and JP is a supplement, no matter how you spin it). Too much of certain vitamins can poison one's body and that's why you can OD on vitamins. If JP has the amount of nutrition/vitamins it claims, then having too much of it can poison a body. If that isn't the case, then JP doesn't have the vitamins it claims, at least not in the amounts it claims.0 -

I take no vitamins/supplements and I get a cold about once every six years that lasts about two days.0 -

Juice Plus is the best change in my lifestyle I have ever made! Unfortunately the fruit, veg and berries haven't got the amount of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in them as they are meant to due to the fact they haven't been picked at their ripest. All the fruit, veg and berries that go into Juice Plus are picked at their ripest so full with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
Also, the problem with vitamin supplements is that they are manmade and synthetic. How can that be healthy? If you're putting money into vitamin supplements then why not put money into real vitamins from real food.
If anyone has any questions about Juice Plus, fire away!
Wait, are you saying that the Juice Plus vitamins are NOT man made? Now I'm interested.0 -
Here are my rules:
-If the product recruits sales reps, I ain't buying it.
-If those sales reps make miraculous claims, I know it's garbage.
*adds Juice Plus to list of scam products*
If I ran the forums, I'd put all the sales reps/coaches in a thread and make them fight for their very lives.
But, but, but.....double plus, bro! Surely the FDA limits the number of pluses that are allowed on products, so if this has 2, then it's GOT to be legit.0 -

Look up and see how juice plus is made. It's juiced and then dried at low temps so that it doesn't lose it's nutrients. Chemicals aren't added to it. Vitamins don't get into the blood stream and have terrible long term effects along with having a warning label. Juice plus doesn't have that and you can give it to children without them over dosing like they would getting into a vitamin and swallowing multiple doses. It's whole food nutrition.
As for the shakes, in the UK they advertise their products for weight loss. In the USA we don't do that nor can we do that. Our shakes and the complete bars can be used as a meal replacement but we always encourage to eat real whole food along with taking the juice plus. There is a 6 week transformation program to get your body started into the right direction of getting healthier and fit if that's what you want. It's a jump start to healthy living.
As far as he business goes, it's not a pyramid scheme. It's not a get rich quick scheme. It's actually a franchise and has 21 different offices in 21 different countries. You can never get demoted and once you reach a certain spot in the business, you get health, dental, vision, disability and life insurance, holiday bonuses, long term care, tuition reimbursement for immediate family members. It's definitely a business that people can make residual income from. It can also be a full time job that you can have the rest of your life making that money along with your retirement. You can make money and not have to work at all if you took a break from the business.

Juice Plus is not man made AT ALL.
No, Juice Plus is made from 100% fruits veg and berries, nothing added because nothing needs to be.
All the fruit, veg and berries that goes into Juice Plus is picked at its very ripest, juiced and then dried at a very low temperature to keep all the vitamins and minerals and other nutrition all the fruits, veg and berries.
Then the sugars, roughage and water is removed to you are left with the good stuff of the 26 fruit veg and berries!
Any other questions let me know! 0 -
Juice Plus + is fortified with beta-carotene, ascorbic acid, folic acid, and vitamin e.

Sounds man made to me. Unless you're contending that monkeys are picking, juicing, drying, and removing sugars.
Just because something occurs in nature that doesn't make it healthy. And just because something doesn't occur in nature that doesn't make it unhealthy.0 -

Do you say it juice plus plus? Why spell it out and the have the symbol too?
They should do like ions and call it Juice 2+ (but in superscript... dunno how to do superscript on this forum)0 -

What cracks me up about this product in particular is that when one of its sales pitches fails to win converts, the company just changes its approach.
It used to be that JuicePlus+ "bridges the gap" for people who simply don't get enough fruits and vegetables in their diet, so it makes up for that lack. Well, people like me eat a ton of fruits and veggies (I get 19 servings some days) so now the sales pitch is that digestion only allows the body to absorb something like 10% of the nutrients from real fruits and veggies, but because you don't have to digest JuicePlus+, your body absorbs 100% of the nutrients. So now it's healthier and better to take JP than to just eat fruits and veggies because they simply aren't good enough.0 -
I had terminally ill patients (ages 24 & 25) and they took Juice Plus and I think there was another supplement from the same company that they took with it. It helped that their mom was a rep but unfortunately she ALWAYS tried to push it on my nurses that went to her home...
Anyway, they claimed it gave them energy &was a great supplement since they couldn't eat near enough fruits and veggies for the day... One of those persons has expired and the other one is still doing well and has taken this supplement for many years.0 -
There is NO ADDITIVES what so ever in any juice plus product. everything in the product is natural and good for you. multi vitamins are not all they are cracked up too be, they are processed over and over again so that there is next to know nutrition left atall.
The juice plus products are not processed atall, they come directly from the supplier (the people growing the fruit/veg) and from there they are compressed and dried which gives you your powder for the capsules/shakes. The product is 100% natural so before you slate it please actually research it and all the ingredients and you will see that they are all good for you.0 -
Sorry, but this person isn't lying about a single thing. Before you start slating people please educate yourself on the product.0

Hiya,
Im a rep for juice plus and the shakes are not meant to be a meal replacement atall!
The shakes arent even actually a weightloss product they just aid the weightloss, you can even use them to gain weight, to do the same job as protein shakes etc. there is a different eating/nutrition plan for every programme.
You have two shakes a day, two snacks a day and a main meal at night. From these two shakes you are getting the benefit of 17 fruits and vegetables which I doubt anyone can say they get from heating fresh fruit & veg.
Alot of people don't know this but by boiling veg you actually kill most of the goodness and nutrition in the veg, where as with any of the juiceplus products you are getting all the nutrition and goodness as it comes directly from the raw fruit/veg.
Juice plus isnt a diet, its changing your lifestyle and improving your body by removing foods that bring unwanted toxins into your body. These toxins are exactly what great fat within your body.
If anyone would like any more information on juice plus then please get in touch.
already reported your other solicitation post in the cambridge diet thread.
reported this one as well.
