           Latest Juice Plus+® Clinical Study Published
The body of clinical research conducted on Juice Plus+®
continues to grow.
A clinical investigation of the impact of Juice Plus+® on
systemic inflammation by researchers at the University of
South Carolina was recently published online (ahead of
print) in the journal Molecular Nutrition & Food Research.
Acute inflammation – the red skin around a cut, for example
– is a normal protective response by tissues throughout the
body to injury or destruction. Chronic systemic inflamma-
tion, however, is invisible, and can contribute to an increased
risk for developing chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular
disease, diabetes, and cancer.
The South Carolina researchers hypothesized that added
nutrition from fruits and vegetables – delivered in the form of
Juice Plus+® – could positively impact biomarkers of inflam-
mation in the blood.
The USC team studied the impact of Juice Plus+® Orchard

  • 4. SUMMER/FALL 2010 • THE HEALTH & WELLNESS NEWSLETTER FROM JUICE PLUS+ ® Latest Juice Plus+® Clinical Study Published The body of clinical research conducted on Juice Plus+® continues to grow. A clinical investigation of the impact of Juice Plus+® on systemic inflammation by researchers at the University of South Carolina was recently published online (ahead of print) in the journal Molecular Nutrition & Food Research. Acute inflammation – the red skin around a cut, for example – is a normal protective response by tissues throughout the body to injury or destruction. Chronic systemic inflamma- tion, however, is invisible, and can contribute to an increased risk for developing chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. The South Carolina researchers hypothesized that added nutrition from fruits and vegetables – delivered in the form of Juice Plus+® – could positively impact biomarkers of inflam- mation in the blood. The USC team studied the impact of Juice Plus+® Orchard and Garden Blends – taken alone and in conjunction with Juice Plus+ Vineyard Blend® – on levels of several important free radical-fighting antioxidants in the blood (as an They concluded: “Data suggest a potential health benefit by indication of bioavailability); on levels of superoxide consuming either formulation of the encapsulated juice con- dismutase, an antioxidant enzyme that helps rid the body of centrates through their anti-inflammatory properties.” free radicals; and on levels of several key biomarkers of systemic inflammation.
