    Anyone use this? Did they find it good? Everything seems good with it just want to see if anyone has any experience with it?

    Only want to hear from people who have actually use it and not from a lot of the wantabe experts.

    I've had no illnesses for a few years and have loads of energy. It's not cause I take powdered up vegetable pills though.

    It's cause I EAT veg and drink lots of water. It's nicer, MUCH cheaper and way more satisfying

    Don't you have to buy this from someone selling it and cant get it in the chemist or health store. that and the price of it put me off to be honest. Otherwise I would think its great. I know two people taking it and they say the same-loads of energy and no sickness

    People get sick no matter how healthy they are. Eating vegetables doesn't stop you getting sick. You have to have a pretty terrible diet which results in real deficiencies before it affects your immune system.

    I stopped getting colds and flu when I stopped using crowded buses.

    Oh god, I know that. I was being facetious when countering the person's post.

    I stopped getting sick when I quit smoking frankly. Cause t'know, less chemicals and nasty stuff being inhaled constantly :)

    Hi my husband and I have been taking Juice Plus for nearly 2yrs now and have had great results. No colds flus, my IBS has cleared up n huge difference in energy levels. Ideally we wud love to eat the recommended fruit and veg every day but reality is it's not possible though we are eating more since starting the capsules. Only way to know is to try it for yourself and see if it benefits you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,150 ✭✭✭Tenzor07


    Complete and utter scam!
    Anyone who tells you otherwise, will also try and sell you some! It's a well know pyramid selling scam

    There's no substitute for fresh veg and other unprocessed foods..

    Have you anything to back up your claims?

    His claim that there's no substitute for fresh food? Well um, it's a given. Fresh, unprocessed food is best.

    Crushing it up and sticking it into a pill is never going to be as good.

    About it being a scam etc obviously.

    I dont seen anyone saying its as good as fresh food anywhere?

    The sales model alone would have plenty of alarm bells ringing.

    Other than all the information out there on the internet showing how JuicePlus is nothing more than a pyramid selling scam? I'm not doing your research for you...

    Well if its on the internet then it has to be true........

    You're the one whos making the claim so you'd really want to have something to back it up

    Are you for real or what?
    There's tons of stuff out there showing how it's a selling scam.. So where's your evidence to say it's not?

    You're not getting out of it that easy. You're saying its a scam but have shown nothing to back it up. Other than the usual BS of ''oh look on Google''

    If you Google anything you'll be able to find something bad to be said about it.

    Also this thread has nothing to do with the selling of it does it? Never asked that anywhere, unless you can see it somewhere?

    Jeeze Chill out man! You come on here asking about Juice plus and have an attitude with posters who try and create some awareness about this scam product? :confused:

    It's a pyramid scheme.
    But if you don't want to know about that and just about the benefits of Juice Plus, then there's nothing to support the benefits it claims. Which isn't a surprise given the limited amount of nutrients that they could physically get into their product. An expensive placebo, for the most part.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21 Fflk


    Hi I'd mentioned in an earlier post that my husband and I both take it with great benefits. I don't know anything about pyramid scheme (aren't they illegal) I get it in the post from Switzerland through a local physiotherapist who I'd been attending. At the time (nearly 2yrs ago) she gave me info on the product including published studies in medical journals, which gave me huge confidence in ordering it. But apart from the clinical studies I know how good I feel and in an ideal world we shud not need this product but as we all know we don't live in an ideal world and if my IBS stays away and my energy levels remain as they are, not to mention no colds or flus I for one will keep taking it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,687 ✭✭✭✭Penny Tration


    Er... Juice Plus has NOT made it into medical journals as a recommended item to use. Wtf.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21 Fflk


    Hi what I meant was that the results of their clinical trials are published in medical journals, I definitely read them at the time but as I say it was 2 yrs ago nearly.

    The vast majority of peer-reviewed studies published have either been funded by the manufacturer or the main distributor though a couple of individual distributors pitched in as well.

    I'm glad your IBS has cleared up but I would suspect there are other factors at play that have had more of an impact than the Juice plus.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21 Fflk


    Hi yeah that's it I get 6 jars in the post, that last bout 4 months


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,687 ✭✭✭✭Penny Tration


    Would it not be cheaper to just take multivitamins if you don't or won't eat fruit and veg? Surely they have the nutrients just the same as these tablets?

    With nothing to back said claim up.

    You're the one going on about how its sold etc even though i didn't ask anything about that.

    So once again where is your back up?
