FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What is JVi®?
This tasty, delicious drink reflects a blend of twelve fruits and vegetables and can be enjoyed by
everyone in your family. JVi® is an exclusive combination of fruits and vegetables juices and
concentrates made of nine commonly consumed fruits in Europe (carrot, white and red grapes,
apple, pear, tomato, watermelon, mango and olives) and three more exotic, ‘imperial’ fruits
(wolfberry, sea buckthorn and acerola). This orange coloured beverage is rich in vitamin C and
copper, a source of biotin and contains carotenoids, naturally present in the mentioned fruits and
vegetables. Vitamin C and copper contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to
the normal function of the immune system. Vitamin C, copper and biotin contribute to respectively to
normal collagen formation, normal skin pigmentation, and maintenance of normal skin.
2. Why should I take 120 ml of JVi® per day?
JVi®, formulated by our R&D department requires a 120 milliliter intake. To make sure you take in an
adequate amount of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, we recommend drinking 120 milliliter of
JVi®, together with a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle which will help you to meet your daily
intake of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. JVi® was developed to answer the specific European
needs and its optimised formula is established to match the customers’ needs as close as possible.
Thus JVi® also has its proper daily intake recommendations.
3. Can I take JVi® with other Nu Skin products?
JVi® is complementary with Nu Skin ageLOC® products.
It is important to protect your skin from the inside. JVi® contains vitamin C, biotin and copper which
respectively contribute to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin, the
maintenance of normal skin, and normal skin pigmentation. But don’t forget to protect your skin as
well from the outside by applying the Nu Skin ageLOC® products for the promotion of a youthful skin
structure.
JVi® is also complementary with Nu Skin®’s moisturisers and Nu Skin Sunright®, for the
maintenance of a normal skin and to better protect your skin against oxidative stress that can come
with UV radiation.
For a complete nutritional foundation, we recommend to take JVi with LifePak®+ and Marine Omega:
Marine Omega is a convenient way to increase your dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids,
containing Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). EPA and DHA
contribute to the normal function of the heart. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision
and normal brain function.
LifePak®+ will bring you significant amounts of the required vitamins and minerals to target nine
important functions of your body. LifePak®+ together with JVi® will provide you with a complete
solution.

*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.

(vitamin B8).

•
•
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.

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.
