Juice Plus

Over 700 very good research studies done all over the world now tell us Cancer, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Arthritis, Alzheimer's and Stroke have been directly linked to poor nutrition and the lack of fresh-raw fruits and vegetables in our diets.

The American Cancer Association, Heart Association, Arthritis Association, etc., all recommend that we eat 5 - 9 servings of fresh-raw fruits and vegetables every day. In my experience I have found that most people simply can't do it.

I have found the answer!

A company in Memphis, Tennessee called NSA (National Safety Associates) grows 17 of the most nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables available today. They pick them at peak ripeness, immediately juice them (removing the sodium and sugar for those with diabetes or high blood pressure) and, through a Proprietary Process leave the enzymes and fiber intact, putting the rest in a capsule.

Without ever having to take a vitamin/mineral supplement, which research says do not work, you get every vitamin/mineral, anti-oxidant and enzyme known and unknown to man and at the same time get the benefit of 17 of the most nutrient dense fruits available today going through your body at the same time (herbicide, pesticide free).

This, in my opinion, may be the greatest investment you can make in your personal health to prevent disease at the cellular level.

Current Therapeutic Research

The following is from a June 1996 report on the bioavailability studies on Juice Plus+.

Read and congratulate yourself on your choice of good health!

The following increases in Plasma Anti-Oxidant level (builds your immune system) and decreases in Serum Lipid Peroxides (Toxins) were measured in the blood as a result of taking Juice Plus+ capsules for only 28 days:

Beta-carotene +510%
	Could reduce the risk of Heart Disease, Cancer and Eye disorders. Best sources: Kale, Carrots, Broccoli, Oranges and Spinach.
Alpha-carotene +119%
	Slows the growth of Cancer Cells and boost the immune system. Best source: Kale, Carrots, Pumpkin, Yellow Corn and Seaweed.
Lutein Zeaxanthin +44%
	Could reduce the risk of Macular Degeneration (eye disorder), Lung Cancer, Colon Cancer and Prostate Cancer. Best source: Kale, Spinach, Beets and Sweet Red Peppers.
Lycopene +2046%
	Could reduce the risk of Cardiovascular Disease, Colon, Pancreatic and Prostate Cancer. Appears to provide photo protection against ultraviolet light greatest known photochemical! Best source: Tomatoes and other red Fruit.
Alpha-tocopherol +58%
	An active form of Vitamin E containing very strong anti-oxidant properties, which strengthens the White Blood Cells that fight off disease. Normal nerve development depends on Vitamin E. Best source: Kale, Spinach and Grains
Lipid peroxides (toxins) reduced 75%
	Serum lipid peroxides are our body’s toxins. They are free radical precursors.

ATHLETES AND NUTRITION

The cells in your body, especially muscle cells (which athletes are most concerned with), will not perform up to maximum capacity unless 1) a maximal amount of oxygen can be delivered to the cell thru the circulatory (blood) system and, 2) the cell itself is healthy enough to absorb enough oxygen. If any muscle cells are in a weakened condition because they do not get enough required nutrients, and therefore cannot grow to their full capacity, it is impossible for them to perform at their maximum potential when the athlete needs them simply because they cannot absorb enough oxygen.

We have found a way for people, in this case the athlete, to increase his or her Nutritional Intensity at the cellular level; not only to prevent disease, but to allow the muscle cell to perform at its optimum level. The key ingredients for cellular growth and performance comes from fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes and beans. All good nutritionists today recommend that we eat 5-9 servings of fresh-raw fruits and vegetables every day (and even more for the athlete who is training hard). My experience during 38 years of coaching and working with athletes at all levels shows that most of them simply can't do it.

A company called NSA (National Safety Associates) in Memphis, Tennessee grows 17 of the most nutrient dense fruits and vegetables available today.
They pick them at peak ripeness, immediately juice them (removing the sodium and sugar for those with Diabetes and/or High Blood Pressure) and through a Proprietary Process leave the enzymes and thousands of other micronutrients in tact, putting the rest in a capsule. Without having to take a vitamin/mineral supplement (which research says do not work because they are isolated) the athlete gets every vitamin, mineral, anti-oxidant and enzyme known and unknown to man while at the same time getting the benefit of 17 of the most nutrient dense fruits and vegetables going through their bodies all at the same time. This in my opinion is the answer to peak cellular performance. Juice Plus+ is substantiated by peer reviewed, published research studies done throughout the world.

In addition, Juice Plus Complete is, in my opinion, the most perfectly balanced meal replacement available today. It is available to the athlete specifically for enhancing their current nutrition in terms of extra meals needed; but also as a pre-game or post game meal because it passes through the gastro-intestinal tract rapidly giving high energy prior to a game or workout and aiding in cellular recovery and energy recovery immediately
afterwards.
