Good vs Bad About Supplements

I knew my diet was lacking, so I wanted to know which supplements were good, bad, ineffective and if any would really do anything to enhance my diet. First I began researching to find out if any nutritional supplement had any scientific research to back up their claims.

In the process I discovered Juice Plus+, a whole food based supplement and a completely different concept dealing with nutrition. I found out that no other nutritional supplement on the market has any scientific research done on their product. If a multivitamin  supplement  says it contains vitamin C for example, the only research that is done is the effect that vitamin C has on the body, not on the bioavailability of their product, drug companies are very good at misleading the public.

Nutritional supplement companies spend millions of dollars trying to replicate the nutrients contained in fruits and vegetables, JP+ has taken the nutrients out of fruits and vegetables and put them into a capsule.

Oxidative stress causes 8 out of every 10 deaths, it’s the gateway to cellular damage and DNA breakdown -the common route for cancer, aging, stroke, heart disease, alzheimer’s, M.S and over 60 other diseases.

Here are some alarming statistics from the U.S, not far behind are the U.K and Australia.

Recent scientific research has begun revealing some of the mysteries surrounding this topic. For some time scientists have known the power that fruit and vegetables can have in boosting anti-oxidants in the blood and lowering oxidative stress.

The recommended daily intake of fruit and vegetables is between 5-9 servings per day and even more if you’re participating in an exercise regimen. The body cannot manufacture the vital micronutrients that fruit and vegetables contain, so they must be supplied in the diet. If the body is given the right amount of raw materials, it will heal itself.
