Anybody here take those balance of nature fruits and veggie capsules?

[CTyankee]

I keep wondering who they are trying to convince to buy their product. Are they trying to reach people in "food deserts" with no access to supermarkets with fresh food? How have they lived to this point in their lives without fresh foods? They look well fed.

My guess is that they are looking for people who don't like to eat fruits and veggies and prefer them in capsule forms. What's your take?

1. I'll take my 🍉 fruits and veggies 🥕 in their

natural state. Maybe they are just lazy and find it easier to pop something from a bottle in their mouth.

2. I find them

hard to swallow.

4. at $90

for a 30 day supply... I assume they are marketing to people making poor money choices... the people they market to do not live in food deserts and mostly likely older people who don't have a robust appetite, may think the pills are a good substitute...

obviously someone is buying them... and paying way too much!!!

6. I'm old but I have a renewed appetite for fresh fruits and vegetables.

Hubby was diagnosed with diabetes recently so diet becomes a focus of our attention lately! I'm at the market several times a week to restock them. When that's the main focus of your meals you have to keep shopping for them. So I'm shopping several times a week.

It's paying off. My husband has lost a lot of excess weight. I want him to go to the gym with me but he's not ready for that yet.

8. The first 3 days at a gym, do only a 30 percent workout

and take an ibuprofen or aspirin
and a fruit cocktail or banana split.


The muscles need time to acclimate. Otherwise, one gets the shakes.

9. I have a guided workout done by professionals. My insurances covers part of my visit.

I get specialized exercises designed for my condition (arthritis in my lower back). I have arthritis in my knees but since I have stairs in my house I "condition" them several times a day and need no special exercises. Overall, I need to maintain muscle strength.

10. color me envious

for all the professionals in my family, they don’t teach well. I try to do better

13. Even frozen

fruit is much less expensive than the pills

[markie]

17. yup!

and flash frozen fruits and vegetables are by far the best unless you eat right out of the garden

5. Those commercials drive me nuts. The "experts" they use as spokespeople are laughable.

Vincent, the plumey toned “nutritionist” who just forgets to eat. The “optometric” and “chiropractic” physicians. Like I really want to get nutritional advice from an optometrist and a chiropractor.

7. All of their "experts" and "consumers" seem like Republicans

Enough money to indulge their gullibility.

[CTyankee]

11. And surely they are lacking any beauty in their lives. Their money is no help to them, except to

perhaps extend their miserable lives by having the means to access health care they need when they are sick.

[claudette]

12. They even say it's cheaper

to take the capsules instead of buying fresh fruit and veggies. There are other reputable brands which are much more affordable. I take Nature’s Way. Can’t use Balance of Nature veggies since the ingredients include mushrooms and I am allergic to them. I don’t see how they can call mushrooms a “veggie” anyway. It’s a fungus.

[CTyankee]

14. But is it because you don't like just eating fresh fruits and vegetables (or fixing them)?

I can get smaller portions of mixed vegetables that aren't the old green peas and corn kernels type. There are abundances of frozen packages of all kinds of veggies. Hubby doesn't like broccoli which is a shame because it's in a lot of those packages. However, he'll eat just about every other veggie so it's not a big problem.

[claudette]

16. Oh, I do

eat fruits and veggies in some form - mostly frozen but I don’t eat a lot so feel the extra capsules help me.

15. This snake oil company is helping prop up conservative talk radio.

Yes, I know they advertise on progressive talk radio too but only as a shield to co-opt my criticism of them.

Dino Vite is another damned one.
