Athletic Performance
Juice Plus+ products are ideal to support an active lifestyle. Clinically proven to boost your immune system, help manage oxidative stress while assisting in fighting inflammation, Juice Plus+ capsules are used by a wide range of athletes, teams and sporting organizations.
OFFICIAL PARTNER
NSF FOR SPORT
Juice Plus+ Fruit, Vegetable and Berry blends, in capsule form, are NSF For Sport certified upon request. This means that they have been tested and verified to be clean and safe for use by athletes.
Although the manufacturing process is the same for all of our products, those that carry the NSF For Sport certification have been individually tested, thus giving athletes that extra peace of mind.
Should you require NSF For Sport certified capsules, please speak to your Juice Plus+ representative or Contact Us.
CLINICAL RESEARCH
The following publications are of relevance to athletes because they demonstrate, among other benefits, that Juice Plus+ capsules help with immune stabilization and reduction of oxidative stress. The last two cited publications show that Juice Plus+ provides bioavailable polyphenols and other phytonutrients.

This book chapter reviewed the literature on fruit and vegetable concentrates in regards to redox homeostasis and immune stabilization in exercising people. It also provides a “decision path” for sport nutrition advisors to guide them whether supplementation with a fruit and vegetable concentrate is indicated.
