supplements with beta-carotene or vitamins A or taken individually or together can do more harm than good. This is presumed to be a result of imbalance, whereas studies using food as the source of these micronutrients universally show good results and prevention.
Fewer than 10% of Americans consume 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Therefore, my recommendation to patients is to eat right and supplement their diet with powdered capsules made from fruits, vegetables and grains.
There are several such capsules available, however, I insist on brand name Juice Plus+ for my patients since it is the only one that has been studied scientifically with published articles in the medical literature. Juice Plus+ is made from 17 vine-ripened fruits and vegetables with enzymes, fiber, grain, and acidophilus added. Only the sugar, water, and cellulose have been removed. Studies have shown it to be bioavailable, safe, and effective. One study showed reduction of oxidative stress to our lipids. Moreover, the University of Arizona Center for Cancer Research and Aging studied the effects on Juice Plus+ on elderly patients. They showed clearly that Juice Plus+ enhanced all 6 parameters of immune function that they measured. They also showed that Juice Plus+ decreased damage to DNA genes by 66%.
Juice Plus+, is more than a vitamin, it's whole food and it's loaded with thousands of phytochemicals that you need in the natural balance that Mother Nature planned.
Note: Juice Plus+ is not available in stores but can be obtained from our clinic. Please ask Dr. Albright if you want any additional information We have a number of audio CDs and other materials you can listen to and read on the subject.
