Balance of Nature
Research indicates that the benefits of whole fruits and vegetables cannot be distilled down into a pill.

Balance of Nature Review: Revolutionary or Waste of Money?
Balance of Nature is one of the fastest growing supplement companies, due mostly to their enormous marketing budget. The company sells produce-based whole food supplements, and suggests with their marketing that these can replace whole produce intake in the context of a diet: “You need more fruits and vegetables. Balance of Nature can help.”
In this article we will examine, based on a review of medical literature, whether there is sufficient evidence to suggest that the Balance of Nature formulations are beneficial to human health.
We will also explore whether some of the health claims on their site have a basis in fact, and whether the data in their Research section is…

Are fruit and veggie pills really as effective as they claim?
The marketers claim that a few pills yield the equivalent of “the real nutrition of over 10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.” But how can that be, when hundreds of grams of fiber, polyphenols, live enzymes (which may not survive the dehydration process) and other crucial health-supporting substances are not present?
Balance Of Nature Review – Fruit And Veggie Capsules
I’m still wary of the concept of completely replacing whole foods with powders or capsules, although I definitely believe in the power of supplements to fulfill a nutritional need where the basics are not being met. I don’t agree that you need to pay someone to dehydrate all your fruits and veggies, but I do think that supplementation can add powerful nutrients that may be missing from an otherwise healthy diet.
Balance of Nature Review – How Do These Supplements Rank?
We think that this product is not living up to their claims. In fact, some of the information can be misleading. It is also hard to consume these many pills in a day, and it is expensive to follow this regimen every month.
Balance of Nature Review, the supplements I’ve taken for 20+ years
There are a lot of fruit and veggie supplements hitting the market these days but there is one I’ve taken for over 20 years: Balance of Nature.
