Study summary and findings:
The daily use of Juice Plus+ for four weeks increased folate and decreased homocysteine concentration in healthy Italian volunteers.
This study showed Juice Plus+ use led to a reduction in plasma homocysteine concentration. Twenty-six healthy Italian subjects (12 men and 14 women) aged 20-56 years, took part in this randomized, crossover study. The trial was separated into three phases of four weeks each: an initial treatment period, a washout period and a second treatment period. Folate level increased and homocysteine level decreased significantly in both groups while taking the Juice Plus+ capsules, but not during the control period of this study.
