Juice Plus
The Mill Valley Health Club and Spa is a proud distributor of Juice Plus the whole food fruit, vegetable and berry supplement. Juice Plus is our supplement of choice because we find even the most well educated, motivated clients are not eating enough fruits and vegetables.

As nutritional science progresses it makes more sense to supplement with whole foods rather than individual vitamins. Researchers are finding thousands of phytochemicals (plant chemicals) in our foods and are quickly learning that many of these have functions in our bodies similar to vitamins. The era of isolating vitamins for supplement pills is coming to an end and we are using whole foods for health again because we cannot begin to put the diversity of phytonutrients in a vitamin pill. Juice plus is supported by many well done research studies.
