Rating: 40/100
What Is It
Juice Plus is a network marketing company with a kind of multivitamin as its main products.
Short Review
There is a lot of typical ācure allā hype surrounding juice plus which I donāt believe for a moment. I also think there will be some real challenges selling this stuff without using deceptive marketing tactics.
However, the entire health industry is rife with misleading claims. I have some mixed feelings about Juice Plus products, and in general do not recommend this as a business opportunity.
Product Breakdown
The Negative
Iām just going to come out right away and say that most claims made by Juice Plus are just not credible. Itās been cited in numerous articles online that the studies showing the benefits of JP were actually funded by JP.
There were also some adverse affects from taking the supplements, none of which seem to be mentioned anywhere on the website or labels of the products.
You also see a lot of snake-oil-like claims from consumers like
- feeling better
- having more energy
- getting rid of arthritis
- having clearer skin
- sleeping better
- not getting colds
- etc etc
Tell me that doesnāt sound like every other wonder-product out there. Imagine that someone walks up to your door right now and tries to sell you a pill that relieves arthritis pain and helps you sleep better at the same time. Are you going to believe him?
Probably not.
The Positive
People do take multivitamins for no other reason that the belief that they arenāt getting enough nutrients. I canāt say that taking a daily Juice Plus pill versus a vitamin gummy is any different.
Also, I totally agree that a lot of people are just too busy or careless to fit in whole fruits and veggies each day. Although the fruit pill may not be as good as the real thing, itās better than nothing.
If you try it, and feel better, then why not continue to take it. It doesnāt matter if itās placebo or not, feeling better is what it is.
BTW hereās an in-depth look at the supplements and some positive looking results that I trust.
Juice Plus Fanatics
Please donāt turn into one of these MLM fanatic guys that just canāt stand to see their precious product negatively reviewed. There are so many examples of this online, where an independent reviewer gives these products a negative review, and the whole crew of IBOs come out of the woodworks to trash the reviewer.
I see a lot of junk in the comments, but most of what people say are things like:
- This is a fake review promoting another company
- What are your credentials?
- You are wrong, I tried this
- Whereās your proof?
- You didnāt do enough research
- You are an idiot
Here are some examples
This really common with most MLM companies, and itās a topic I touch on a lot. If you believe in the product, who cares what other people are saying? By getting on Facebook comments and zealously defending it you sound like a cult member, not a business owner.
Warning
I would NOT feed this stuff to my kids or any any person with any kind of serious condition. I just donāt trust the network marketing industry or its independent distributors enough to actually believe in any health benefits.
MLM companies and sellers of their products have proven time and time again to promote stuff they donāt understand, under false claims of being ābacked by real scienceā.
At the end of the day, YOU are responsible for the health of your family, and Juice Plus wonāt be accountable if there are any problems as a result of taking these supplements.
Opportunity Breakdown
Juice Plus actually has a bit of a unique compensation plan. Thereās a $50 fee to join, which isnāt bad. After that, to participate in the most basic level of selling there are really no requirements.
Typically we see that to be an āactiveā seller you need to have X amount of personal volume purchases each month. This can be a quick way to get your business into debt rather than closer to profit.
Once you get to higher levels however, you *are* required to purchase some product for yourself. For example, to reach the Sales Coordinator level you have to purchase 100 points worth of products. To reach the Virtual Franchise level, you must purchase 500 points.
Of course, youāll be making money at that point, but know that these costs are coming up.
Ways To Earn
As with all MLMs, there are a few ways to earn.
- retail sales – $ from selling product
- bonuses – $ from achieving āgoalsā
- commissions – $ from sales your downline makes
Examples From Comp Plan
- HLP Bonus (500 PVC/30 days) you + 2 = $100 bonus
- 2000+ Bonus (2000 PVS/60 days) = $250 bonus
- Commissions increase as you ālevel upā
This video has a lot of garbage in it, but the comp plan is spelled out pretty nicely between about 4:00 and 9:00.
Other Comments
On the Juice Plus website weāre told that we are buying a āvirtual franchiseā, but there seems to be no mention of actually getting a website. Unless you plan on being stuck selling this stuff to friends and family, or neighbors and people in Starbucks, youād better get a website and start selling online.
MLM VS Affiliate Marketing
Instead of getting involved in an industry with such a negative stereotype and selling a product which has been under fire from numerous places, why not start a truly independent business?
You can start a website about whatever you want (including supplements), and promote ANY products you want based on your own personal views.
By setting up an affiliate marketing website about a topic of your choice, you can get paid from brand name companies to promote their products. Write your own independent reviews (positive or negative), sell ad space on your website, and sell to the 100 million+ people on the internet (instead of your immediate family).
Final Review
I do not really trust the actual health benefits of this product, but itās good that thereās no pressure to have monthly shipments of the product sent to you home in the beginner level of the sellers program. If you really want to be healthier, there are cheaper and more effective ways in almost every case, including a regular multivitamin and standard whey protein powder.
Still Selling Junk To Your Friends?
What is this - the 1950's selling Tupperware? Gimme a break. It's 2019. If you want to build a business, you NEED to be online or your business will be dead in less than 10 years.
Plus, those MLM parties boring as hell, and you know it. Nobody wants to buy that overpriced junk. Sorry to be so straightforward, but I really want to see you succeed.
You can start an affiliate website, you can promote ANY products you want from ANY company, so why are you selling such a limited range of products? Affiliate commissions range from 5% to 75%, and include Amazon products, digital products, and recurring services.
Last year I generated multiple six figures with my affiliate sites, and I can show you how to make them using the same templates. You get to promte whatever you want of course, and YOU keep all the profits (no upline!).

What's up ladies and dudes! Great to finally meet you, and I hope you enjoyed this post. I have to be honest with you. MLM sucks. I've tried it. The fees. The recruiting. The parties. The cold calling. Bleh.
Affiliate marketing is cheaper, faster, and easier for someone with no experience creating a business. See for yourself and join millions of other successful affiliate generating income from their websites!
No inventory. No fees. No recruiting. 3 BILLION potential customers online.
I have been personally taking Juice Plus for 17 years and have the health to prove its effectiveness. I have also witnessed first hand health benefits that other people have experienced…children who asthma was reduced, people coming off of arthritis pain medicine, immune system being strengthened as evidenced by people no longer catching colds, blood work improving. And duh…it is just fruits and vegetables, what nature gave you to keep you healthy. And regarding JP funding research: Do you really want to claim that all of the reputable hospitals and physicians are being dishonest? I think you should do your research instead of just running your mouth.
