Oops... I thought I'd included the link. Sorry!

Juice Plus is a type of whole food supplement. I've been interested in it lately but at the same time, I don't want want to add anything that mess with my Levoxyl and Metformin, or not be good for PCOS patients... so I was hoping to see if anyone else had some experience with it. I am open to alternative treatments/therapies/supplements but I'm also leery because there is so much out there that is quackery so it is hard to tell what is hokum or not.

• http://www.juiceplus.com/ (Official Site)
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juice_Plus (Wikipedia)

Like with most things of this nature... there's a divide to what I see online. Some positives, people I know and whose opinion I respsect having good results, and some positive sounding studies (thou admittedly I haven't looked deep enough to see who is funding them)

Then the negative reviews along the "it's not worth it" line, criticisms, and some negative sounding studies (that I also don't know the source of.)

The point though, is NEVER do I see it in terms of a PCOS patient and what the PCOS experience is like... so I was hoping to at least get a thread going on it.

I wanted to know where Juice Plus would fall as an alternative supplement for PCOS? Like the things on this list... http://pcosfaq.com/

...how many stars would we give it from a PCOS angle?

Would it be...

• Great! Def do this! Totally worth it! Should be standard for PCOS!
• YMMV -- works for some, not others, but it won't hurt you.
• Don't bother. Cheaper or more effective to do ____.
• Keep AWAY! this is dangerous!

TIA!

I use something similar to that from Garden of Life. I can't say it's had any effect on my PCOS issues, but my skin sure looked FAB after a month of drinking 'green water' for a month...

Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.

I think it lasts a month or a bit more if you take it 7 days per week (with the medium sized container)

Thanks!
