In his best-selling book Nutripoints, Dr. Roy Vartabedian presents the overall nutritional value of thousands of foods based on an analysis of 26 key nutrients.This analysis determines each food's Nutripoint score in a range of 0-100, reflecting the food's nutrient density, or nutrition per calorie; the higher the score, the better. (For details on Nutripoints calculations, see www.Nutripoints.com.) In his evaluation of the ingredients in Juice Plus+® capsules, he found that the formula's fruits, vegetables, and grains yielded up to five times the nutrient density of the average, fruit, vegetable or grain. Dr. Vartabedian states that Juice Plus+® is just about the most nutrient-dense of any naturally occurring foods he has analyzed.

The various knock-off products on the market don't have the supporting research base. Primary research has been done for Juice Plus+®, as opposed to "borrowed research" in which information is given on the effects of each separate plant or other constituent in a product's formula, but no research has been conducted on the whole formula combined. Knowing about each separate fruit or vegetable or herb in a formula doesn't mean the combination is going to work as stated-research should be done on the whole formula as embodied in the product.

When you buy any supplement or other health product, look for primary research or similar information that proves its efficacy. Get your money's worth. Simply throwing a bunch of foods or nutrients into a capsule and calling it a nutritional supplement, without considering the energy aspect of each ingredient and their ratio to each other, is called "poly-pharmacy." It looks good on paper, but does it work when it's taken into the body? Don't be fooled by poly-pharmacy or borrowed research. Go with what has been proven.

Some natural remedies, of course, have proven their effectiveness over hundreds of years-maybe not scientifically, but by intuition and actual usage. Nowadays, however, we have technology at our disposal to prove the effectiveness of historically used plants, herbs, and homeopathic combinations. I've done energetics research on Juice Plus+® myself, using sensitive energy-measuring equipment. My formulas were used in clinical practice for ten years before NSA brought them to the marketplace on a large scale. The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates was correct when he said, "Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food."
