Varias características tienen que tener los productos de salud para que te dejen saber que sí son efectivos y puedas tener confianza en ellos. Una de las cosas más importantes son los estudios científicos que respalden lo que dicen que hacen y lo que recomienden. Mientras más años tenga la empresa investigando mucho mejor. Empresas con pocos años de investigación sólo te engañan cuando prometen efectos a largo plazo. Ten mucho cuidado.

Ya son varios los productos de salud que e estudiado. Cada vez me doy más cuenta de que estoy haciendo lo correcto a corto y a largo plazo.

Cuando me presentan alguna alternativa de salud una de las primeras cosas que pregunto es sobre los estudios que prueban lo que dicen alegar hacer. ya son varias las que no me han podido presentar estudios y las que lo han hecho no me ofrecen la fuente del estudio, o presentan un estudio que tan sólo cuenta con uno, dos o tres años o simplemente se refieren a estudios hechos a sus compuestos pero no estudios hechos al mismo producto que promocionan. Una amiga me llevó a ver un producto nuevo, hasta quizás esté leyendo esto, y no está mal lo que ví. Es a base de la alga AFA, muy buena por cierto. Pero cuando investigué en los estudios de las misma empresa los estidios doblemente ciegos o “double blind” sólo fueron hechos  15 personas. Los efectos sólo duraron hasta una hora y no hubo un estudio que certificara el efecto de que sí de lo que venden. Hay que investigar mucho. Yo aún sigo buscando información hasta de JuicePlus todos los días para asegurarme de lo que hago. Haz tú lo mismo. Una de las cosas significantes de ese otro producto que conocí anoche dice lo siguiente : Así como los antioxidantes son importantes para proteger las células del daño ocasionado por los “radicales libres”, los productos que apoyan la liberacion de células madre son también importantes para ayudar a sus células madre y mantener el funcionamiento adecuado de los órganos y tejidos del cuerpo. // Por lo tanto debemos mantener una salud en las células para que estas puedan liberarse saludablemente y la forma de lograrlo en lograr un balance nutricional en el cuerpo. Recuerda que la nutrición es lo que nutre las células.

Un estudio serio tiene varias características para que pueda probarse la efectividad de su producto y que estos puedan respaldar lo que hacen a largo plazo.

Aquí te enumero varias:

• Estudios doblemente ciegos o “double blinded” – estos son estudios donde ni la el científico ni los participantes que toman el producto conocen la marca ni la empresa.

•  Estudios de más de 10 años – esto es muy muy importante ya que te asegura que sus efectos a largo plazo si han sido estudiados. Hay empresas que sólo llevan dos o tres años y nunca podrían asegurarte efectos ni beneficios a largo plazo por que no lo han visto ni probado científicamente. Sería sólo un acto de fé el tu creelo y una irresponsabilidad de la empresa prometerlo.

• Seriedad de las instituciones y de los científicos que realizan los estudios – esta parte es crucial por que lacredcilidad de estudio debe de estar respaldada por el prestigio de quien hace la investigación. Sienpre busca los nombres de los doctores y los nombres de las instituciones en internet.

Hoy día es muy difícil esconder información. Siempre hay mala propaganda a productos buenos pero la evidencia profesional científica te prueba la verdad o el enganno de lo que se publique.

Por eso me atrevo a asegurar un beneficio con JuicePlus

Si, por estas mismas razones osn las que me dan la confianza de recomendarte JuicePlus, por la seriedad de sus estudios, la seriedad de los doctores y científicos que lo realizan y recomiendan y por el tiempo  que llevan investigándolo. JuicePlus lleva más de diez años realizando estudios y constantemente están haciendo estudios.  Aquí puedes ver los estudios concentrados con niños (clic aquí >>) y aquí puedes ver los estudios que actualmente estan realizando (clic aquí >>). Como habrás visto no sólo te dan los resultados si no que te dicen en que institución alrededor del mundo se están realizando y las publicadas tienen los datos por si quieres buscar los documentos.

President of the Georgia Society of Internal Medicine. President of the Infectious Disease Society of Georgia. President of the Medical Association of Atlanta. Listed in Best Doctors in America every year since 1994. Chosen by his medical colleagues as their ‘physician of choice’ in his specialty.

Why he recommends Juice Plus+: “Studies have proven that whole foods are the best source of micronutrients, in part because antioxidants and other micronutrients work together in ways we’ve just begun to understand. Whole foods also have thousands of yet-to-be identified phytochemicals that will prove beneficial for human nutrition. I tell my patients: Eat whole foods and take Juice Plus+.”

Titus Duncan, M.D.

The research that has been published on Juice Plus+ shows that the product improves key biomarkers at the cellular level. Juice Plus+ is not meant to replace eating right, but is a simple way to bridge those nutritional shortfalls. It provides a broad spectrum of nutrients found in food. This is why I recommend Juice Plus+ to all my patients – and why I will take it the rest of my life!

Bellevue, Washington

Area of Interest: Cell biology, particularly as it relates to cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and other degenerative diseases.

Honors: Young Investigators Award, Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology; recipient of grants from the National Institutes of Health and the American Cancer Society.

Why she recommends Juice Plus+: “The human body has an amazing ability to maintain healthy cells provided it has the building blocks to work with. That comes from eating healthy, nutritionally balanced FOOD. Unfortunately, most people don’t eat the right foods, especially lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Juice Plus+ helps fill that gap.”

Jan Roberto M.D.

Family Medicine
Springfield, Ohio

Key Personal Accomplishments: Providing testimony for a U.S. Congressional briefing on health care policy sponsored by the National Center for Policy Analysis; and, in her own words, “raising a son of sound character, alongside a loving and supportive husband.”

Why she recommends Juice Plus+: “I see in my practice that people are becoming more and more aware of the importance of fruits and vegetables in their daily diets. Unfortunately, that knowledge does not usually translate into action. Current statistics from the U.. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that less than 25% of people are consuming even five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day – let alone the recommended 7-13 servings.
“Once I understood that Juice Plus+ is whole food based nutrition in a capsule – and that it is being studied by serious researchers at hospitals and universities all over the world – I felt a responsibility to share it with my patients. The fact that 11 studies documenting the benefits of Juice Plus+ have now been published in peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals is just the icing on the cake. Everyone can benefit from the daily ‘safety net’ of consistent nutrition provided by Juice Plus+.”

Why she recommends Juice Plus+: “Knowing what you need to do and actually doing it are two different things. Juice Plus+ is a perfect example. Knowing that we should eat more fruits and vegetables is one thing, but actually doing it is quite another. That’s why I recommend Juice Plus+ to all of my patients. It is a powerful and compelling product for those who wish to protect their health. I would never want to be without it. It is my foundational product for my patients, and I rely on it for my health as well.”
