Powerhouses of Nutrients
Fruits and vegetables are loaded with nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, active enzymes, phytochemicals and many other undiscovered food factors that may not only prevent diseases but affect their progression. Phytochemicals (phyto: literally "plant" in Greek) are compounds found in fruits and vegetables that show promise in the treatment and prevention of disease. Below are ten phtytochemicals found in various fruits and vegetables.

What Is Power Juice™ Fruits & Vegetables?
Re-Vita's Power JuiceTM is a unique blend of concentrated fresh fruits and vegetables compressed into an easy-to-take tablet. They are intended for health-conscious people who understand the powerful benefits of good nutrition. Many agencies including the American Heart Association, National Cancer Institute and the National Academy of Sciences recommend we consume 5-8 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Power JuiceTM is the answer for those of us who are too busy or not able to eat our required daily servings of fruits and vegetables.
How Are Power Juice™ Caplets Made?
Organically-grown fruits and vegetables are harvested and washed, and the stems, seeds, etc. are separated and discarded. The fruits and vegetables are then pulverized, and the resulting juice is concentrated by high-speed centrifuge. This removes the water under vacuum, without added heat, to preserve the vital phytonutrients in the concentrate. The resulting powder is cold pressed into a caplet and coated with beta- carotene to preserve freshness. Re-Vita does not add flavours or colors.
3 To 4 Pounds of Fruits or Vegetables in One Power Juice™ Caplet
Re-Vita uses a unique blend of organically grown fruits and vegetables, and 3 to 4 pounds of these are processed and concentrated into a single caplet. This may seem hard to believe but it's true. These 3 to 4 pounds include every part of the fruit or vegetable e.g. a head of broccoli may weigh 1 pound but after the heavy stems are discarded, the usable flavonoids may weigh only 1/6 of a pound. Of this, up to 95% may be water which is removed. What we now have is the essence of 3 to 4 pounds fruits or vegetables in one caplet.
Should Power Juice™ Replace All The Fruits And Vegetables In The Diet?
No. Fruits and vegetables are necessary to provide fibre, calories and water to the diet. Fruits and vegetables add low-calorie bulk that not only fills your stomach longer but aids in bowel movements. Use Power JuiceTM to supplement a healthy, low-fat diet of fresh foods.
