Q: Juice Plus + Multivitamin
asked by: StayingHealthy on July 8th, 2004

Hello.

I take juice plus and a multi-vitamin (store brand imitation of centrum). I take 2 fruit tablets in the morning, a multivitamin at lunch, and 2 vegetable tablets in the evening. I have been unable to determine the actual list of vitamins and rda percentages for those vitamins from juice plus. The multivitamin has 100% on most vitamins.

Am I overdosing on any vitamins and if so, should I halt my juice plus or my multi-vitamin?

Thanks,
stayinghealthy

Juice Plus+
Juice plus is whole food based nutrition and vitamins are not .The other major difference between Juice Plus and vitamins is it is the only whole food based product that is backed by double blind, placebo controlled, peer reviewed research, basically the "Mercedes Benz" of research.It, like eating a piece of fruit has been proven to boost immunities by 150% after taking it for just 28 days.My sister has Lupus and has noticed a significant change in her symptoms. I also have an auto- immune disease and have not been sick(at all) for one year! I swear by it and all of my family and friends take it as well. My boss who is an M.D. introduced it to me last year when I was pregnant. What a great gift she shared with me.
I wish you the best of luck!

I think you may be overdoing it. It is possible to overdose on some vitamins.
I could not find a list of the ingredients contained in Juice Plus from its website. I did find some information on wikipedia but I don't know how reliable it is. I also tried to find information on it at the FDA website but there is no mention of it.
You should only take multivatims as directed. I don't know of any that call for you to take them more than once a day.
