I've seen them for sale at my chiro's and my esthetician's. Just wondering if anyone has experience with them? Its www.juiceplus.com.

Thanks!

I've not, but I've heard a bit about them. I would love to hear anyone's experience with it.

The AMA has come out against Juice Plus and other "health products" being sold by MDs.

I'm definitely interested in nutrition, etc. but the kickbacks that "professionals" can get from this stuff makes me sick, and therefore I have no faith in it.

I agree! I was checking this product out for my SIL, and even Dr. Sears is selling it through his web site - with a 'healthy' kickback, I'm sure.

HI
I posted a similar question back in March, here's the link:
http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=37&topic_id=306272&mode=full

We don't use Juice Plus but that is what pedi suggested initially, he does NOT sell anything in his office to any of his patients. He only suggested something that he uses with his 2 year old. I visited my health food store and found something similar. We've been using it ever since. I have twins who do not like to eat their veggies all of the time, one of them rarely eats his veggies. I give them:

1. Nature's Plus Multi chewable (DSa will not eat it unless I mash it up into his oatmeal, DSb loves it)

2. Natren Life Start Probiotic supplement for infants

3. Amazing Grass Kidz SuperFood (similar to Juices Plus).

It comes in powder form, also in individual packets so you can test it out before buying the larger container.

HTH

ETA: I'm not good about eating fruit, just never took a liking to it as a kid, I take Earth's Promise Greens Supplement

Wow, thanks so much for this information! I'm easily pursuaded by marketing stuff, so I was ready to fork over the $$! Thanks so much!!
