Juice Plus+

Does anyone have any info on these supplements?  They seem good, but I am worried they are not organic.  I seem to get different answers from the sales rep & customer service.

Juice Plus does their best to use organic Fruits and Veggies, but the truth is that the products are not Certifed Organic. Until a company takes the step to do this, they are not fully committed to this organic standard. MiVitality , from Australia, has a fully Certified Organic green and probiotic product. Pure Synergy, I think, is also Certifed Organic.

Choosing the right supplements

Yogini said Jun 3, 2007, 1:45 PM:

 

My main question with supplements is if they are regulated by the FDA. Both Integrative Therapeutics and Shaklee are, which means they have much greater quality control than other supplements. Supplements are otherwise sold a “food” and do not necessarily have in each capsule what they claim.

Anyone with experience with Shaklee or Integrative Therapeutics? The latter line includes Tyler, Phytophamica and Vitaline.

Our scientific research team is highly specialized to review the latest research on various supplements and herbs. We are proud to carry high quality products from several respected supplement manufacturers and by respected doctors and herbalists including world-renowned medical doctor and best selling author Dr. Ray Sahelian, M.D., who formulated several products for us.

Beginning in February 2008 an independent lab is testing by HPLC every herb and supplement batch that we purchase to determine accuracy and purity. We are now using this double check method of testing for purity to ensure that the ingredients on the label are exactly what is inside each capsule. We no longer rely solely on the certificates of analysis provided by the raw material suppliers.
