JUICE PLUS VITAMINS (2008)
People often turn to vitamins to improve their diets, but the latest research has shown that vitamins can’t begin to replicate the many different nutrients found in fresh fruits
and vegetables. The new requirements are 9-12 servings per day - not only for
disease prevention, but to slow down aging of the body and skin! Juice Plus, a whole food capsule containing 17 different fruits, vegetables and grains, helps you to
fulfill this requirement for less than a cup of coffee a day! It's safe for pregnant women, there's a children's gummy, and even a capsule designed specifically for your pet. Remember - these capsules are made of raw fruits & veges - so throw
away those synthetic vitamins and treat your body to the luxury of Juice Plus!
Monthly cost: $38.95. Click here to contact Karen Martin, Juice Plus Distributor
(Miami) for pricing & ordering information.
