Is at all it's cracked up to be? And how a about a business venture . Are there any happy healthier people and can you really make money?

It depends on how you feel about selling sub-par products to people and if you can convince new recruits to part with money to do the same.

As a product, Juice Plus is rubbish. The shakes are a cheap protein powder that is ridiculously expensive for what it is. It also tastes foul so you need to spend extra on fruit/veg/flavourings to try and make it taste nice - I could never make it taste nice. A semi-decent protein powder from Holland and Barratts would be cheaper and have better nutrition than these shakes.

The capsules have had no indepentant studies done on them, only in-house studies. Those studies have shown that they only give you 4 vitamins and "may" give your body minute amounts of others. The process actually destroys most of the good nutrients from the fruit/veg/berries and the most important part - the fiber from them. Eating an apple a day is better than taking the capsules. A multivitamin is cheaper and gives you more.

The boosters are nothing but sugar and caffeine. It contains a minute amount of Gluccomanan which has yet to have full studies on it for it's effects on the body. It "may" aid weightloss. You're better off (and cheaper) just buying gluccomanan online. You take it in a pint of water half an hour before eating to "fill you up" - just drinking a pint of water will do that. Oh, and for weightloss you need to take 3 a day which is £72 a month OUCH! (And that's their cheapest product).

As for a business venture - you never know. I have about 8 reps on Facebook all posting the same thing, about the same bonuses, how fantastic they're doing but I have a feeling all of them are faking it (so they make it). They're all still working full-time in their jobs, so none of them have "ditched the boss" yet - which they keep saying they will do.

If you're interested in health then go into it properly - study, become a nutritionist, a fitness trainer etc. A little research shows you that J+ isn't all it is cracked up to be.

If you can afford to alienate all your friends and relatives by giving them the hard sell on over priced products then go ahead. I'm on several facebook groups where Juiceplus and the other 'health food' sales reps are banned from posting their stuff as the hard pressure sales just annoys people.

Personally as it is just another MLM it is a 'not with a bargepole' opportunity.

Substitute Herbalife /bettaware etc , you will sell to a few friends family as they feel obliged but then that's it

Just a word of warning as well, you are likely to get PMs from existing agents trying to recruit you to their team so they can get the commission on you. They will almost certainly spout the usual nonsense about how they have bought a BMW on this months profit alone- but do your own research about any such direct sales before you sign up to anything.

All I will say is the friends of mine on Facebook that do this, I have now hidden their posts from my timeline because I'm sick of seeing the constant posts.
