2nd Trimester

anyone heard of or use Juice Plus?

My dr told me about this juice/vegetable supplement called Juice Plus and recommended that I start taking it. Anyone else heard of this or are currently talking it? It has a full day's requirement of fruits and veggies and is supposed to be really good for me and baby. Its very pricey 50$ a month and am considering to start taking them. Just wanted to hear from you ladies! Smile

Re: anyone heard of or use Juice Plus?

  • Someone here has a mother in law that sells it and was trying to push it on her to take during pregnancy but it is not recommended to take during pregnancy. I can't remember why though.

  • My mom takes it. And I used to (I gave it up because of the cost). She rarely gets sick anymore and has more energy than before. She swears they are the best thing ever. I'll admit I was also less sick and felt better when on them as well.

  • I am taking Juice Plus.  My mother got me on it.  She has severe rheumatoid arthritis and migraines, and since being on it for the past 5 years, both conditions have improved dramatically.  Actually, she get's fewer migraines and is able to handle them better.  A friend of mine took it and her blood pressure issues improved while on it.  I am not saying it will improve any "conditions", but if it helps to improve the nutrition your body is getting, it can't hurt.

     I am taking Juice Plus, and my doctor said to go for it.  It is expensive, but if it helps to ensure I get my fruits and veggies in, I am willing to pay it. 

  • There is no information stating that it is NOT good to take while pregnant.

    In fact I have information to the contrary.  There are currently formal studies being conducted, but a doctor did an informal study with his pregnant patients over a two year period and  (356 patients, 178 who took JP and 178that didn't) he found that the ones who did take JP during pregnancy had lower caesarean deliveries and no premature deliveries and no diagnosed cases of preeclampsia. It was a limited study, but he had good results with his patients in a rural Mississippi community.

  • I have been taking Juice Plus for about 2 years now and I LOVE IT! not only does it ensure that your daily vegetable and fruit vitamins are taken in but it also helps your immune system. I get sick a lot less with common colds and things of that nature. It is safe sure pregnancy and recommended by my rep. I loved taking it in gerneral before the pregnancy and I have found that in conjunction with my prenatal that i have more energy than expected.
