In case you ever wondered, this is what is in Juice Plus capsules. They use whole foods, so they contain all of the good stuff that’s really in the foods instead of isolated vitamins that may cause more harm than good if not combined with the other nutrients found naturally in the food. You would be amazed at how many phytonutrients are in just one apple! The best way to eat healthy is to eat the actual fruits and vegetables, but Juice Plus sure helps when you can’t or don’t get enough of them in your diet.

"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
