About The Research

The Juice Plus+® Children's Health Study is a large-scale, multi-year health survey designed to help determine what effect adding Juice Plus+® fruit & vegetable supplements to the family diet can have on the health and well-being of children ages 6-15. In the study, each child participant is paired with an adult participant, usually a parent. Child participants twelve years of age and younger are offered the choice of taking one Juice Plus+® fruit and one Juice Plus+® vegetable capsule per day, or two Juice Plus+® fruit and two Juice Plus+® vegetable chewables per day. Teenage participants thirteen and older are offered the same choice but with twice the amount of Juice Plus+®. Adult participants take two Juice Plus+® fruit and two Juice Plus+® vegetable capsules per day.

While the children in the study are provided free product by the Juice Plus+® Children's Research Foundation, adults in the Study are required to purchase the Juice Plus+® they use.

Each adult participant answers questions via written questionnaire regarding both his or her own experience and that of the child participant since starting to take Juice Plus+®. Completed questionnaires are sent to the accounting firm Deloitte & Touche® before being forwarded on to the Foundation for tabulation. Questionnaires must be submitted voluntarily to be included in the study results; there is no direct effort on the part of the Foundation to solicit responses.

NSA/Juice Plus+® distributors and their children are prohibited from enrolling in the study.
