Odds are you aren't really asking what phytochemicals are, but why are fruits and vegetables so amazing! A large part of the answer is phytochemicals.
Phytochemicals are plant compounds packed  with health benefits so numerous we haven't made a dent in understanding and categorizing them all (there are over 5000)! From preventing cancer, to lowering cholesterol to preventing strokes phytochemicals provide many important benefits to health. So what does this have to do with fruit and vegetables being so great? Phytochemicals are not really effective in pill form. They can only be gotten from fruits and vegetables (and whole grains). This is part of what makes fruits and vegetables so beneficial for you and your health. There is no substitute for produce!

I just heard about JuicePlus and am interested if it would help me regain stamina...a multilevel marketed nutrition suppliments etc, it sounds to good to be true. Wish it would be true, I wish I could take a pill instead of eating my vegetables, what is your opinion about this product?
