Interim Results: Overview
The following interim results from the Juice Plus+® Children’s Health Study are based on
the first 100,000 participants responding to our follow-up questionnaires.
Initial Results
After 4-8 months on Juice Plus+®, adult participants report that 82% of the children
in the survey have become more aware of their health in general and that 90% have some positive
result to show for it.
- 56% of the children have been to the doctor less often, while 49% report missing less school.
- 49% are taking less over-the-counter medication and/or taking fewer prescription drugs.
- Academic achievement and athletic participation are dramatically improved, and 45% report an improvement in image and self esteem.
Nutritional habits of children are changing as well:
- 61% are drinking more water and 66% are consuming less fast food and drinking fewer soft drinks.
- 53% are actually eating more fruits or vegetables in addition to taking Juice Plus+®.
Adults in the survey report similar improvements in their health and nutrition.
They report that 83% have themselves become more aware of their health in general and 93%
have some specific positive results to show for it.
- 44% percent of the adult participants have been to the doctor less often,
while 46% report missing less work due to either their own or their child's illnesses.
- 38% are taking less over the counter medication and/or taking less prescription drugs.
Adult nutritional habits were also changing:
- 61% percent are drinking more water and 67% are consuming less fast food and drinking fewer soft drinks.
- 64% are actually eating more fruits or vegetables in addition to taking Juice Plus+®.
Full Year Results
A greater number of children and adults report improvements in specific measures of diet and lifestyle
after a full year of taking Juice Plus+® than the number reporting those same improvements after only a
few months on the product. For example:
- More than half (56%) of the parents in the survey report that their children have been to the doctor less often after only 4-8 months on the Juice Plus+®. This number increases to 63% of respondents who have
been on Juice Plus+® for at least a full year.
- Similarly, while 49% of the children in the survey are missing less school after a few months on Juice Plus+®,
that number grows to 55% of the children after a full year.
- Also, 38% of parents note a decrease in prescription or over-the-counter medications the child is taking after
a few months on Juice Plus+®, which increases to 42% after a full year.
Three Year Results
After three years on Juice Plus+®, adult participants report that 92% of the children in the survey have
become more aware of their health in general and that 97% have some positive result to show for it.
Conclusion: The longer the children take Juice Plus+®, the more benefits increase.
The table below summarizes key results for both child and adult respondents that have been taking the
