Vitamin in Fresh Juices
Vitamins are organic compounds, effective in minute amounts, that the body cannot manufacture on its own. They are used as fuel to energize essential process such as metabolism growth and repair.
Fresh juices are excellent sources not only of vitamins, but of a host of other important nutrients, as well. Incorporated into a balanced, whole foods diet, fresh juices will provide more than adequate supply of vitamins and nutrients to maintain optimal health. And unlike synthetic supplements, fresh squeezed juices will do this without danger of toxicity, build-up, or imbalance.

Fresh carrot or green juices contain an abundance of pro-vitamin A (beta carotene). Pro-vitamin A is easily converted to usable vitamin A in the liver. Unlike synthetic vitamin A, which is toxic in high doses, pro-vitamin A from food source is safe even in large amounts.
