Important Information About Fruit & Vegetable Supplements:
What This Supplement IS:
- A dietary supplement featuring concentrated fruit and vegetable powders
- Designed for those seeking to supplement their diet with plant-based nutrients
- Contains fiber from apple and brown rice flour
What This Supplement is NOT:
- A replacement for eating whole fruits and vegetables (whole foods provide fiber, water content, and nutrient combinations that supplements cannot fully replicate)
- A treatment for digestive disorders, cardiovascular disease, or any medical condition
- A guarantee of health benefits (individual responses vary)
- Appropriate for everyone (see cautions—especially those with medical conditions or taking medications)
Understanding Fruit & Vegetable Supplementation:
While this supplement provides concentrated fruit and vegetable powders, it is not a substitute for consuming whole fruits and vegetables as part of a balanced diet. Whole foods provide:
-
Complete fiber structure (soluble and insoluble in natural matrix)
-
Water content and volume that contributes to satiety
-
Synergistic nutrient combinations that may work better together in whole food form
-
Phytonutrient diversity that may be affected by processing
Supplements are designed to SUPPLEMENT (not replace) a healthy diet rich in whole fruits and vegetables.
Understanding Individual Ingredients:
Fiber Sources (Apple Fiber, Brown Rice Flour): Dietary fiber is traditionally associated with digestive regularity. Adequate fiber intake requires sufficient water consumption.
Ginger: A root traditionally used in digestive wellness formulations. May interact with blood thinners.
Beet Root: Contains naturally occurring dietary nitrates and has been studied in relation to cardiovascular wellness.
Garlic: A botanical traditionally used in cardiovascular wellness formulations. May interact with blood thinners and certain medications.
Tomato Extract (Lycopene): Tomatoes naturally contain lycopene, a carotenoid that has been studied in relation to cardiovascular health.
Berry Powders (Blueberry, Raspberry, Strawberry): Berries naturally contain various compounds including antioxidants and vitamins.
Carrot & Red Bell Pepper: Vegetables that naturally contain various vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds.
Important Limitations:
The amounts of each ingredient in this blend are not disclosed (proprietary blend). Without knowing specific amounts, it's difficult to assess whether clinically meaningful doses of individual ingredients are present.
Realistic Expectations:
What to Expect:
Fruit and vegetable supplements are designed to supplement dietary intake, not replace whole food consumption. Any benefits depend on:
- Overall diet quality
- Baseline fruit/vegetable intake
- Individual nutrient needs and absorption
- Consistency of supplementation
- Lifestyle factors (exercise, sleep, stress)
Dietary supplements work best when combined with:
- Balanced diet rich in whole fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats
- Regular physical activity
- Adequate hydration
- Quality sleep
- Stress management
No supplement can compensate for poor dietary habits or replace the benefits of eating whole, minimally processed foods.
When to Consult Healthcare Provider:
You MUST consult your healthcare provider before use if you:
- Are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant
- Are under 18 years of age
- Have digestive disorders (IBS, IBD, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis)
- Have cardiovascular disease or blood pressure concerns
- Take blood thinners or anticoagulants (garlic and ginger may interact)
- Take diabetes medications (some ingredients may affect blood sugar)
- Take blood pressure medications (beet root may affect blood pressure)
- Have food allergies or sensitivities
- Have kidney stones or are at risk (some vegetables are high in oxalates)
- Are scheduled for surgery (discontinue use 2 weeks prior—garlic and ginger may affect bleeding)
- Have any chronic medical condition
Discontinue use and consult healthcare provider if you experience:
- Digestive discomfort, gas, bloating, or diarrhea that doesn't improve
- Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, breathing difficulties)
- Unusual symptoms or side effects
- Any adverse reactions
Understanding Fiber Supplementation:
Increasing Fiber Intake:
This supplement contains fiber from apple and brown rice flour. When increasing fiber intake:
✓ Start gradually to allow digestive system to adjust
✓ Drink plenty of water (fiber requires adequate hydration to work properly)
✓ Expect digestive changes (gas, bloating, increased bowel movements are common initially)
✓ Be consistent (fiber works best with regular intake)
Without adequate water, fiber supplementation can cause constipation rather than relieve it.
Fiber & Medication Absorption:
Fiber supplements may interfere with absorption of certain medications. Take medications at least 1-2 hours before or 4 hours after fiber supplements, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
Potential Medication Interactions:
This supplement contains ingredients that may interact with medications:
Garlic & Ginger:
-
Blood thinners (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel): May increase bleeding risk
-
Diabetes medications: May affect blood sugar levels
-
Blood pressure medications: May enhance blood pressure-lowering effects
Beet Root:
-
Blood pressure medications: Contains nitrates that may lower blood pressure
-
Diabetes medications: May affect blood sugar
Fiber:
-
May reduce absorption of certain medications (take medications separately from fiber)
If you take ANY medications, consult your healthcare provider before using this supplement.
Important Notes About Concentrated Powders:
Concentrated vs. Whole Foods:
This supplement contains concentrated powders—not the same as eating whole fruits and vegetables:
-
Processing affects nutrient content: Drying, powdering, and concentrating may reduce certain nutrients (especially Vitamin C, enzymes, and some phytonutrients)
-
Fiber structure is altered: Powdered fiber differs from intact fiber in whole foods
-
Water content is removed: Whole fruits/vegetables provide hydration; concentrated powders do not
-
Amounts are small: Two capsules cannot provide the same volume of nutrients as servings of whole produce
This supplement is designed to COMPLEMENT (not replace) whole food consumption.
Recommendations for Optimal Wellness:
For comprehensive health support:
✓ Eat a variety of whole fruits and vegetables daily (aim for 5-9 servings)
✓ Choose colorful produce (different colors provide different nutrients)
✓ Prioritize whole, minimally processed foods
✓ Stay adequately hydrated (especially when taking fiber supplements)
✓ Engage in regular physical activity
✓ Get quality sleep (7-9 hours for most adults)
✓ Manage stress effectively
✓ Have regular health check-ups
Supplements work best as part of—not instead of—a healthy lifestyle.
