Juice Plus+ and Potassium

Plant foods such as spinach and tomatoes naturally contain potassium which are ingredients in our Juice Plus+ products.

There is also potassium in Juice Plus+ Capsules from the capsule shell itself. It is used as an "activator" to get the shell structure to align and gel in a particular way which makes it so protective of the powders or oils inside.

Due to the additional levels of potassium in the capsules (from the capsule shell), the capsules are required by law to include a Potassium warning on the label. This is legally required if the total daily dosage of a product exceeds 39 mg.

You may have seen the following warning on our capsule bottles:

"Always read the label and take only as directed. Contains 6 mg - 15 mg of potassium per capsule. If you have kidney disease or are taking heart or blood pressure medicines, consult your doctor or pharmacist before use."

Our capsules contain the following amounts of Potassium:

• Fruit Blend contains 6 mg potassium per capsule (12 mg per adult daily serving size)
• Vegetable Blend contains 15 mg potassium per capsule (30 mg per adult daily serving size)
• Berry Blend contains 7.5 mg potassium per capsule (15 mg per adult daily serving size)
• Omega Blend contains 1.23 mg per capsule (2.46 mg per adult daily serving size)

This totals to 59.5 mg Potassium each day which is well below the RDI of 3,500–4,700 mg per day, but above the 39 mg requirement for a label warning.

As always, if you have any concerns around Potassium, we recommend consulting with your healthcare professional.
