We need more nutrients from fruits and vegetables
World wide health experts agree that we need more nutrients from fruits, vegetables and berries.
Every day there are articles in the print media and advertisements on tv promoting the importance of consuming more of these food sources to provide us with the all important micro-nutrients required to achieve and maintain optimal health.
It is widely known that the minimum recommendation called for is 7-9 servings per day, however over 90% of the population are not getting anywhere near this amount daily and the statistics of our health underline this issue.
With so many products available it is challenging to find one that you can trust in and have faith it is doing the job. This is where research comes in and you want to see independently produced, gold standard, primary research. Research which has gone through the peer review process and is published in leading medical and nutritional journals worldwide.
Synthetic Vitamins vs Whole Food Sources
Synthetic vitamins have been proven to cause more harm than good, yet millions of people take them everyday. Chances are that if you bought your vitamins off the shelf at the grocery or pharmacy, they are synthetic. Even many of the products on shelves at 'health food stores' are synthetic products. And 90% of synthetic vitamins pass right through you! That's why we talk about people having expensive urine.
According to Dr. Zoltan P. Rona, M.D., "Although most healthy people will have no obvious side effects from ingesting small amounts of toxins found in cheap vitamins, the long term consequences of continuous, daily intakes are potentially dangerous." Dr. Rona says that allergic reactions include fatigue, memory loss, depression and insomnia.
And yet, according to the Organic Health Association, over 95% of vitamins manufactured contain synthetic ingredients!
Worst case scenario: The vitamin may even grab the needed co-factors from the body's own organs, bones, muscles and other tissue. In other words, your body starts eating itself!!! Over time, this depletes the body, causing disease and degeneration. What a paradox that the very product consumers bought for improving health was actually destroying health!
Whole food ingredients naturally will be easily absorbed by the body. They are made from pure raw materials that contain the hundreds of "co-factors" the body needs to absorb vitamins, while synthetic ingredients do not. They solve these problems while providing vitamins the body can absorb. They naturally contain the hundreds of "co-factors" (other nutrients the body needs to ABSORB vitamins). When co-factors are missing, as they are in synthetic vitamins, the body may treat the vitamin as a foreign substance and eliminate it or pass it whole. In some nursing homes, the staff actually refers to these as bed pan pellets!
Low prices sell. The demand for vitamins has grown, so inferior or even damaging products get marketed to consumers who only look at the price tag. Colourful labels often even claim to be 'natural when they are anything BUT natural. The manufacturing process for making vitamins from the pure raw materials of real whole foods is much more expensive that that of synthetic vitamins.
There are few government controls on vitamin manufacturing. Manufacturers are allowed to fly under the radar with false claims and slick marketing . Price is naturally a HUGE a factor in selecting a product, and consumers will often opt for the lower priced vitamins not knowing that synthetic vitamins are mostly useless and might even be risky.
The bottom line is profit not quality. If they can get away with creating a low cost product and charge an amount the health conscious market is willing to bare, this is what they will do.
Product Comparison: Juice PLUS+® vs Leading Brand
Independent, gold standard clinical research trials have been conducted on Juice PLUS+® worldwide. These clinical studies have undergone the peer review process and the results are so significant that they have been published in leading medical and nutritional journals.
Clinical trials of a leading multivitamin brand and Juice PLUS+® show that Juice PLUS+® is far more effective in elevating folate levels and reducing homocysteine levels.
Homocysteine is a naturally occurring amino acid produced in your body as a result of metabolism. Left unchecked this amino acid builds up and causes damage to the lining of your arteries (endothelial damage) tears in this lining where LDL cholesterol likes to collect causing inflammation, blockage, stroke and heart attack.
Folate is a regulator of homocysteine and is found in abundance in green leafy vegetables. Naturally when folate levels are elevated, homocysteine levels will be reduced. The most effective way to elevate folate in the body is to do so by increasing the amount of cruciferous (family Brassicaceae) vegetable consumption. Juice PLUS+® is made with the most nutrient dense cruciferous vegetables on the planet so it stands to reason that the results are superior over cheap chemicals.
Wholefood wins over cheap chemicals every time. Not to mention that when taking Juice PLUS+® (a natural wholefood sourced product) there are no contraindications (bad side effects) unlike all the named contraindications which are listed for all synthetic chemical multivitamins.
What About The Other Multivitamins...Are They Good?
Having 30,000+ vitamins on the market presents so much choice it normally is a case of finding the bottle you think looks the nicest ... or the cheapest. After all, a vitamin is a vitamin right?
Fortunately, 7 Canadian and American biochemists have come to rescue us from our ignorance. They looked at and compared what is in each of these multivitamins by separating and measuring each ingredient - that is, vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and other components.
They examined how absorbable the vitamins were, whether they were in the right amounts/form and the variety of vitamins and minerals. Also looked at was having the vitamins in the right combinations for the body's needs. The score was how close each one was to that perfect multivitamin out of 100%. A score of 80% and above is considered commendable. Take a look at the results of this research in the table below:
A staggering 140 out of the total 510 multivitamins did not even reach 10% and only the top 11 multivitamins were above 25% of what the human body needs on a daily basis.
The popular supermarket brands all featured below 10% possibly due to being forced to compete on price with other supermarkets. The downside for you, means the product you take every day is a hugely inferior supplement.
In other words, you get what you pay for. In some cases ignorance is bliss, in others it is a big wake up call.

Do this test yourself and discover the truth!
FACT: People want to do something positive for their health, the billions of dollars spent on synthetic multivitamins worldwide proves it. The issue is that they are being sold hype.
Next time you venture out to your local pharmacy, health food store, or vitamin stockist why not approach the person behind the counter and ask this question:
"Does this product have any independent, gold standard primary research which has been peer reviewed and published in leading medical and nutritional journals worldwide proving that it works effectively without contraindications?"
This would be a great place to start gaining awareness of the complete lack of meaningful and credible research that exists on any of these well known and very successfully marketed products. When it comes to your health don't fall for advertising and marketing hype - ask for Gold Standard, Primary Research which names the product you are thinking of adding to your daily routine, and proves it works without any contraindications in the human body. If they cannot provide this research for you steer clear!
