Juice Plus is a whole-food based product that provides the nutritional essence of fruits and vegetables. Juice Plus is developed by National Safety Associates (NSA) and claims, when added to a normal intake of fruits and vegetables, to be a sufficient supply of fruits and vegetables. NSA claims that Juice Plus provides the nutritional essence of seven different fruits, eight different vegetables, and two grains in a convenient and inexpensive capsule. Juice Plus is distributed only through direct or multi-level marketing.
