Let’s Ask the Doctor

Sometimes, people who are considering adding Juice Plus+ (JP+) products to their daily nutritional intake have one (or several!) questions that they want to run past their health care professional before making a decision.

In this video interview [41.36 min] with Gretchen Comstock, Dr. Candace Corson (a Yale-educated Family Practice and Integrative MD) addresses a few of the most commonly asked questions.  I’ve included the list of questions they covered (see below), along with a time-stamp marking the beginning of each question.

• I already eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, so I don’t feel I need a supplement. [4:34]
• The JP+ seems on the expensive side. [6:50]
• Can I buy just a one month’s supply instead of the 4? [8:40]
• How many servings of fruits and vegetables are actually in JP+? [9:48]
• I take so many pills these days, I can’t possible add anymore. [11:35]
• I can’t eat Juice Plus+ Complete because it contains soy and as a breast cancer survivor, I have been told to stay clear of soy. [14.31]
• I love the taste of the JP+ Complete but it has too much sugar in it and I am working on cutting down my sugar intake. [16.32]
• I have an auto immune disease and take medications to help suppress my immune system and I have to be careful not to boost my immune system. [17:32]
• I am on a blood thinner called Coumadin and I‘ve been told not to eat leafy green vegetables. [18.40]
• I have some serious digestion issues especially when I and fearful that JP+ may make them worse. [20.06]
• Will JP+ keep the colds I get often at bay? [25.03]
• I have food allergies to some of the JP+ ingredients so I am not sure I can take JP+. [26.40]
• I’m pregnant and wonder if I need a prenatal if I am taking JP+.  [27.48]
•  How old should my baby to start introducing JP+  [29.20]
• I take a pharmaceutical grade Omega 3 so what differentiates JP+ Omegas from mine? [30.39]
• I’m thinking of not continuing with JP+ because I haven’t noticed anything. [32.50]
• If Juice Plus+ is so good why don’t more doctors, even the holistic ones, recommend it? [36.12]
• I have more energy, better digestion, I sleep more soundly and feel so clear headed since starting JP+. What’s up with this?!! [38.36]
