Fruit and Vegetable Juice Concentrate
Also known as: fruit concentrate, vegetable concentrate, juice powder, dehydrated juice, fruit and vegetable blend, phytonutrient blend
Effective Dosage
No established dose
What the Science Says
Fruit and vegetable juice concentrate is made by removing most of the water from fruit or vegetable juices, leaving behind a dense powder or syrup. It can deliver some vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds like antioxidants, depending on which fruits and vegetables are used and how they were processed. However, no clinical studies were available to confirm specific health benefits, effective doses, or meaningful outcomes for this ingredient as used in supplements.
What It Doesn't Do
Not a replacement for eating real fruits and vegetables. Processing strips out fiber, which is one of the main reasons whole produce is healthy. Won't detox your body. Won't meaningfully boost immunity on its own. The tiny amounts typically used in supplement capsules or powders are far less than what you'd get from a single piece of fruit. Don't assume 'contains fruit and vegetable concentrate' means a product is healthy overall.

Absorption & Bioavailability
Unknown — bioavailability depends heavily on which fruits and vegetables are included, the processing method used, and whether heat or oxidation has degraded key nutrients. No study data was available to assess this.
Red Flags to Watch For
- Often used in tiny, label-dressing amounts that provide negligible nutritional value
- Processing and heat treatment can destroy heat-sensitive vitamins like vitamin C
- Frequently used as a marketing tool to make a product appear healthier than it is
- May contain added sugars or sweeteners not obvious from the label
- No standardization — 'fruit and vegetable concentrate' can mean wildly different things across products
- Fiber is largely removed during juicing, eliminating one of the key benefits of whole produce
