Does the Money Back Guarantee (MBG) apply for JVi? Yes the MBG applies for JVi. This means that a daily optimum intake for at least 90 consecutive days will ensure an increase of the Skin Carotenoid Score. If not, and if you meet all the conditions of the MBG programme*, you will receive your money back for the purchase of the product (excluding shipping costs). *Please visit the details of the MBG programme on our website. 6. Why is the ORAC value not mentioned for JVi? JVi provides a balance of both fat- and water-soluble antioxidants. ORAC only measures watersoluble antioxidants and does not reflect the effects of antioxidants, once they have entered the body. Although the ORAC value provides useful information, Nu Skin decided to work only with the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner. This Nu Skin tool has demonstrated the effect and difference that JVi makes: JVi contains the required dosage of carotenoids to ensure an increase of your Skin Carotenoid Score in 90 days. 7. Is JVi glucose, lactose and fructose free? Can JVi be used by diabetics? These sugars in JVi have not been added to the formula. Only natural sugars present in our selection of fruits and vegetables are included in the JVi beverage. Fructose, galactose, glucose, sucrose and maltose are some examples of natural occurring sugars in fruits. These substances give a sweet taste to fruits. As you can see in the nutritional table, JVi contains 10 grams of sugars per 100 milliliter. If you have diabetes and you would like to add JVi to your daily regimen, please consult with your physician. They can make sure that the dosage of sugar in JVi is specifically adapted to the glucose levels in your blood. 8. What are the main benefits of JVi? JVi is rich in vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C and copper. And it is a good source of biotin (vitamin B8). Protection from oxidative stress: Vitamin C and copper contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress Normal immune system function: Vitamin C and copper support the normal function of the immune system 3
The skin: Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation. Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.

JVi has not been specifically developed for children, however if you like to give it to your children, we recommend the following dosages: Children 3 14 years: 2*15 ml/day or 30 ml in the morning Children 15-17 years: 2* 25 ml/day or 50 ml in the morning Adults: 2 times 60 ml 10. Why should I drink JVi? Nowadays a lot of people have a really busy schedule. Going to work, doing sports, taking care of their children. Because of their overloaded agenda, people often don t take the required amounts of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. JVi is one of the Pharmanex solutions to help you to achieve the required daily amount of fruits and vegetables. 11. Why do we see small particles on the surface? JVi is an exclusive blend of fruit and vegetable juices and concentrates made of nine commonly European consumed fruits (carrot, white and red grapes, apple, pear, tomato, watermelon, mango and olives) and three imperial fruits (wolfberry, sea buckthorn and acerola). The small particles that you may see on the surface of JVi are produced by the olives that have been added to this beverage: carotenoids are fat soluble and olive oil will help the body to better absorb them. Since oils are heavier than water and oil and water don t mix, oily substances will float to the surface of water. So these small particles you can see on the surface of JVi are simply drops of olive oil. This is also the reason why you should shake JVi before every use. 12. What are carotenoids? Carotenoids are natural pigments, responsible for the bright colours of some fruits and vegetables such as carrots and tomatoes. The most common carotenoids are lycopene and β-carotene, both part of the vitamin A family. 13. Is JVi a safe product? JVi is a safe and well tolerated beverage. It contains 9 commonly used European fruits and 3 special imperial fruits that have been used traditionally in several cultures. 4
14. Why does JVi contain sodium benzoate? Benzoic acid is a naturally present compound. Sodium benzoate is derived from benzoic acid and used as a preservative which inhibits microbial growth and thus extends the shelf life which enables you to consume your product longer. The use of this preservative is regulated in Europe and follows the European restrictions. 15. Is JVi gluten free? JVI is made entirely of ingredients that are naturally free of gluten. Because fruits and vegetables are naturally free of gluten, it is unlikely that JVi ever comes in contact with gluten-containing ingredients. However, no product analyses have been completed to guarantee that JVi is gluten free. 16. Does JVi contain juices or concentrates? JVi is a tasty, delicious beverage that contains fruit and vegetables juices and concentrates. It is an exclusive blend of fruits and vegetables made of 9 commonly consumed European fruits (carrot, white and red grapes, apple, pear, tomato, watermelon, mango and olives) and 3 imperial fruits (wolfberry, sea buckthorn and acerola). So JVI not only contains fruit and vegetable juices, but also fruit and vegetable concentrates. 17. Does JVi only contain natural flavouring? The fruits and vegetables juices and concentrates in JVi contribute to its great taste. But to enhance the flavour of JVi and to keep it as close to nature as possible, a natural flavour was added.
