Juice Plus - anyone use this?

I was thinking of signing up for these diet supplements. From everything I've read it sounds likes a really healthy thing, but at $40 a month a bit pricey. Anyone use it, have any opinions? Thanks!

I have taken it and don't remember being impressed. My crazy uncle was a distributor and he gave them to me. I thought they were shut down for being one of the pyramid scheme things. My uncle gets involved with all of those Amway-like deals.

Funny you should bring this up... just yesterday I found out that the girl that sits next to me at work is a distributor (not at all pushy, she's been one for 3 mths & never once mentioned it)... I was thinking about trying it out, but the price is a bit more than I can justify at the moment.. I hear some people swear by it!

ETA: they recommend being on it for a full 4 mths to get the 'full' benefit.

Anyone else??

I did take them for about a year. They were OK, but no different than others I've taken. I pretty much came to the conclusion that I needed to make some overall changes, and not try to fix the damage & voids with vitamins. I changed my diet and I'm off all supplements now, except calcium. I feel great. I had no idea Juice Plus was that expensive though.

My daughter liked the Gummies, but I don't really think the Adult supplements did anything above and beyond what any other store bought brand did. I took them til I finished them because they were so expensive, but after that I did not reorder. I didn't experience the amazing health benefits they raved about on the web site.

I think you'd do fine just going to the local health food store or GNC and getting some vitamins and supplements.

Costco has some veggi/fruit vitamin supplements for kids. They are gummies and say what they have in them, all that healthy food you'd want to be eating but are not. I have been dishing these out to my kids, and have tasted a few myslef. I dont know if they help or not, but it seems like a good idea for the $10 or whatever for the huge bottle. I have tried so many of those "promise to get healthy" supplements that cost an outragous dollar amount and I have to say that so far NONE of them work any different than store bought vitamins. Try these costco things if you can... it cant hurt! (They are for kids, but so what... take double.) I actually stumbled across the web site for Juice PLus today. Had never heard of it, but recalled seeing this post and was curious... (old habit of trying to get healthy) BUT... I am not buying them. Im sticking to Costco and trying to feel good about at least getting some form of califlower into my kids! (I'm going to take them starting today, just to see what happens since I advised you to do it!)
