Fruit & Veggie Complete, 30 servings (single jar) - Optimal Health Systems
Fruit & Veggie Complete - A very pleasant raspberry-flavored powder mix gives you the equivalent of 6 servings of fruits and vegetables in a whole food formulation.
Research shows that eating 5 or more fruits and vegetables a day plays an important role in preventing these diseases and conditions of ill heath. Whole food fruits and vegetables contain essential nutrients, especially antioxidants; that improve our resistance to disease, protect our cells from damaging effects of free radicals, and boost our immune system.
Good nutrition is vital to optimal health and especially important for children and adolescents for healthy growth and development. According to the USDA Food Guide Pyramid, Americans are recommended to consume 3 to 5 servings of fruits and 2 to 4 servings of vegetables daily. The Harvard School of Public Health stated that the average American consumes only 3 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. What is even more alarming is that the USDA reported that over half of all elementary students eat no fruit on any given day and 3 out of 10 students eat less than one serving of vegetables a day.
All the ingredients in the Fruit & Veggie Complete were picked at their peak ripeness and then put through a specialized low-temperature, freeze-drying process that same day. This unique process of transforming the foods into a powder form retains all of its enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. Other forms of processing destroy these vital nutrients. The ORAC unit of this product is strictly from the original fruits and vegetables. Synthetic vitamins, extracts and herbs were not added to "boost" the number. According to the USDA, the average person consumes about 1200 ORAC units per day. The USDA has also concluded that we need 3000 to 5000 ORAC units per day to have a significant impact for antioxidant protection.
Just one scoop of Fruit and Veggie Complete provides 3000 ORAC units and 6 servings of fruits and vegetables.
