JP+ Nutrition Label

What is the difference between a dietary supplement and a conventional food?

Juice Plus is a food capsule, therefore it carries a nutrition label. It is fruits and vegetables in a capsule!

Conventional foods are foods that are not dietary supplements. A dietary supplement is a product taken by mouth that is intended to supplement the diet and that contains one or more "dietary ingredients." The "dietary ingredients" in these products may include

• vitamins 
• minerals 
• herbs or other botanicals 
• amino acids 
• other substances found in the human diet, such as enzymes 

Dietary supplements must be labeled as such and must not be represented for use as a conventional food or as the sole item of a meal or the diet. One way to distinguish dietary supplements from conventional foods is by looking at the nutrition information on the label of the product. Conventional foods must have a "Nutrition Facts" panel on their labels, but dietary supplements must have a "Supplement Facts" panel.
