The Benefits of Fruits and Veggies, Concentrated in a Capsule

As Seen on TV — 24 fruits or 24 veggies are packed into these healthy capsules. No rinds, peels, seeds or mess — no blenders or knives! Both include green tea extract for energy, with the equivalent of ¼ cup of coffee in each. GMP certified, made in the USA. 30 capsules in each. Fruits or Vegetables.

Is the Balance of Nature or GOvana Ingredients List Better?

Comparing the fruits, berries, vegetables and herbs contained in these 2 supplements, the GOvana vitamins clearly have the better ingredients versus Balance of Nature.

The Fruit Blend has many high-antioxidant berries, such as blueberry, raspberry, amla, cranberry, goji and açai. As well as healthy fruits like lemon, noni, papaya, pomegranate and mangosteen.

The Vegetable Blend has nutrient-rich alfalfa, spinach and broccoli as the first 3 ingredients listed. By convention, these should be the most predominant by weight.
