Medium confidence

Hype Score

0 = legit, 10 = all hype

"It's a capsule containing dehydrated fruit, vegetable, and berry powders with added plant vitamins—essentially a rebranded commodity supplement blend."

Similar to Nature Made Multivitamin + Antioxidant, any greens powder, or simply eating more whole fruits and vegetables
Real benefit May provide micronutrients and antioxidants if you don't eat enough produce, but the benefit is modest and similar to a basic multivitamin.
The catch You're paying $2.67 per serving for commodity fruit and vegetable powders that cost $0.20-0.40 to produce, and the proprietary blend hides whether doses are actually therapeutic—plus the MLM distribution model incentivizes exaggerated health claims by distributors.

Consumer advice

  • If you're interested in supplementing your fruit and vegetable intake, consider:.
  • eating more whole fruits and vegetables—they're cheaper and more bioavailable;.
  • buying a standard multivitamin + antioxidant supplement from a reputable brand like Nature Made or Thorne for $15-25/month; or.
  • if you prefer capsules, look for products with transparent, individual ingredient doses and independent third-party testing. Avoid products sold through MLM networks, as distributors are incentivized to make exaggerated claims. If you do try Juice Plus+, don't expect dramatic health transformations—the benefits, if any, are modest and similar to what you'd get from a basic multivitamin.".
