Frequently Asked Questions

There is a great deal of over-analysis with regard to nutrition. The best healing agent in the world is your own body, nutrition is merely the fuel that allows your body to heal itself, to remove unwanted toxins and to work efficiently. Common sense with regard to health has largely been overlooked in the presence of scientific and technological data. In the introduction to the bestselling book, Fit for Life, Kay S. Lawrence, MD states: “It doesn’t sound very scientific to tell someone to take hot baths, or get more rest or recreation, or slow down their pace of life, or to eat simply so that the body is able to digest what they are eating. But, these are the very suggestions that often prove to be the most effective.” Jus International claims to be only the second-best method of getting vital nutrients and antioxidants. The best way is to take simple foods right from the vine. But Jus International has taken 23 of the most powerful superfoods on earth, created whole-fruit purees from them and provided them in a convenient, affordable form as close as possible to their natural states. If you are in a position to purchase each of the ingredients found in Jus Antioxidant from a fresh produce stand, blend them yourself and consume them daily, please do so. However, for the 92% of the population who are unable to find and consume even the minimum 5 to 9 servings of fresh fruits, berries, vegetables and herbs a day, there is no better fuel for your body than Jus Antioxidant.

When we get enough rest, learn how to manage stress effectively, and eat properly, our body is able to regenerate, detoxify and self heal. One of the most obvious examples of the poor state of our collective health is the fact that well over 60% of the population is overweight. Improper diet and lifestyle lead to poor metabolic processes, the slowing of body function, the clogging of arteries, and the blocking of the digestive tract. Heart disease, obesity, arthritis, stroke and many of the other problems we associate with modern life often exist because we do not give our bodies the tools it needs to heal itself. Jus Antioxidant, along with proper lifestyle adjustments, provides the body with powerful fuel to provide it with the energy and components necessary for self healing.

Unscientifically stated, health begins in the digestive tract. Few people know that large amounts of the body’s energy are used in the digestive process. If you’ve ever felt tired after a large meal, it’s simply because your body is hoarding much of its energy to unravel the meat, starches, proteins and other compounds in your belly. One of the most important impacts of Jus Antioxidant is the effect it has on the digestive process. Natural foods process easily and quickly, while giving the digestive system the tools it needs to provide more energy, a more efficient metabolism and overall greater health.

One word: SYNERGY. “It is not only what you eat that makes a difference, but also of extreme importance is when you eat it and in what combinations.” (Fit for Life, page 6.) Jus Antioxidant is a specific proprietary blend of complimentary and compatible foods from all over the world, combined by our laboratory to provide a balanced and synergistic blend. Synergy is the interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. The RIGHT combination of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients has been shown to positively affect the body’s health far more effectively than by taking individual doses. Strong and diverse, antioxidants combine with naturally-occurring vitamins, proteins, trace minerals and other health-improving compounds. By drinking Jus, we’re confident you’ll feel the powerful effects on your health of its proprietary blend of herbs, berries and fruits.

The body is a magnificent machine that needs proper tuning and nutrition. The more efficiently the body uses and processes food, the more energy you’ll have. Consequently, your weight management, stress reduction, overall health and quality of life will increase. With the help of proper nutrition, your body’s digestion will be more efficient. Energy otherwise wasted on digestion will be released to allow you to live better.

Good health requires good nutrition. Almost no one in today’s world is able to choose and monitor his or her diet in a way that gives the body the tools it needs to operate at maximum efficiency. Although no dietary supplement can totally replace foods right off the vine, Jus Antioxidant is a perfect alternative for people who simply can’t get to the produce stand every day.

According to experts, while nutritional powders and condensed supplements have some benefits, the manufacturing process of removing water and other compounds causes a serious loss of health benefits from the supplement. The best alternative to eating fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs is to blend the entire fruit. Changing the chemical composition of these foods through processing, dehydrating or condensing them makes it more difficult for the body to use the nutrients.

The natural enzymes and compounds necessary for healthy cells in the human body are also found in the cells of fruits, vegetables and herbs. A diet rich in a variety of natural superfoods helps to replenish the body by providing cells with replacements for the losses they incur over time.

Jus is the convergence of two ideas: 1) Create a great-tasting, high-antioxidant juice drink; 2) establish a new standard for network marketing.

There are 23 herbs and berries in Jus: açai, apple concentrate, acerola, aronia berry, lycium/ wolfberry, noni, pomegranate, sea buckthorn, aloe vera juice, mangosteen juice, grape seed extract, grape skin extract, wild blueberry extract, raspberry seed extract, cranberry extract, tart cherry extract, wild bilberry extract, strawberry extract, prune extract, Reishi mushroom, green tea, white tea and ginseng.

This question actually involves two parts. First, where does the fruit, berry or herb grow indigenously? Second, where is it cultivated for commercial use? The following list shows where each ingredient was originally discovered. Although the ingredients of Jus Antioxidant are indigenous to places around the world, they’re cultivated commercially in various locations that have appropriate climates, soils and other necessary conditions. Jus International uses ingredients from carefully screened producers, primarily in South and North America, Asia and Europe. Acai – South American rain forests Acerola – native to the West Indies Aloe Vera – native to North Africa Apple – native to Asia Aronia Berry – native to Northeastern America Bilberries – found in temperate and subarctic regions Blueberries – native to North America Cranberries – found in the cooler parts of the Northern Hemisphere, various states of the U.S. and provinces of Canada Ginseng – found in Southeast Asia Grape Seed – native to the Mediterranean and Central Asia Grape Skin – native to the Mediterranean and Central Asia Green Tea – originates in China Mangosteen – believed to have originated in the Sunda Islands and the Moluccas Noni – native to Southeast Asia Pomegranate – native to the regions of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran to the Himalayas Prune – predominantly produced in Yuba City, CA Raspberry – originates in Asia Minor Reishi Mushroom – originates in Asia (Japan & China) Sea Buckthorn – commonly found throughout Europe Strawberry – originated in the UK Tart Cherry – originates in Europe and Western Asia White Tea – originates in China Wolfberry – found in dry, semi-saline environments

Jus Antioxidant is decaffeinated.

In short, it’s the difference between something that’s living and something that’s dead. Although a synthetic version may resemble some compounds found in natural foods, no test tube product can duplicate the number and structure of nutrients contained in natural food. Thousands of enzymes and phytonutrients, both known and unknown, contribute to nature’s superfoods. Natural foods work together in a way that a man-made process can’t possibly match.

Purified water, natural berry essence, malic acid (made from apples), potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate. Sodium benzoate is found in foods such as apples, cranberries and plums. Potassium sorbate provides a safe way to prevent the growth of dangerous microbes. It can be found in many products, such as cheese, wine and yogurt, and is necessary to ensure that the product is safe for consumption. Preservatives in Jus Antioxidant are approximately 0.1% of volume.

An Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) score is a test tube analysis that measures the levels of antioxidants and other chemical substances. If a food has a high ORAC score, then it means the food is high in antioxidants, giving it the ability to eliminate oxygen free radicals.

Jus’ ORAC score was determined by the leading testing laboratory in its field, Brunswick Labs. The report was issued on September 4, 2007, and approved by Boxin Ou, PhD.

Natural variations from lot to lot of ingredients such as fruits and herbs...as nature delivers them.

Liquids don’t have to dissolve like tabs and capsules. Also, tabs and capsules require manufacturing and processing that can destroy the health-producing properties of the fruits, berries and herbs, thereby reducing health benefits.

Jus is a proprietary blend and is held in strict confidence to avoid duplication.

Jus International is located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
