Has anyone else or their kids tried these? The Link

My kids absolutely love the gummies and apparently it's really healthy. I bought the pills and got the gummies free for my kids. Does anyone else take this juice plus+ and have good results with them?

There is no magic pill.

Multilevel marketing, that is all.

If all good stuff from fruit/veggies could be squeezed into a pill, our country would not have a trade deficit and no one in the world would die of hunger.

I won't tell you how to parent, but my kids learn that pills won't cure their ills.

Overweight? Jillian has some pills that work by themselves:

Don't quote me on this, but I think I read somewhere that your body doesn't absorb a very high percentage of the vitamins from pills. It is more effective coming from food. Whole foods are better for this than processed and refined foods. I think it even said that all the vitamin supplementation added to foods don't really provide much of a benefit either. This is all part of the "whole food" movement.

Now that I think about it, it might have been from the book "In Defense of Food." Another book, "The China Study" also mentions something along these lines.

Scam.

horns58, that is my understanding for a lot of vitamins... particulary B vitamins.

From their website, "Juice Plus+® is not a substitute for eating fruits and vegetables. "

Funny but they promote it as a substitute.
"But because most people simply can't, don't, or won't (eat fruits and vegetables), Juice Plus+ helps fill that gap....These nutrients work together in combination to provide you more of the nutritional benefits of eating healthful whole foods. "
