Q's I expect to be asked:
Why are you supplementing?
I am constantly tired. That is down to my recently diagnosed anemia. I take folic acid, iron (not included in the juice) and vitamin d to combat this. I spent a lot of time in a kitchen with no windows last year. So I probably need the vitamin d for that too. Biotin is a form of vitamin B that promotes hair growth and health. vitamin C is so I don't get scurvy during winter (joke) and the barley grass juice powder is for added fibre, iron, and zinc since I probably need those too.
Why do you drink green juice?
It's an easy (and delicious) way to get lots of fruit and veg into your day without the added pressure of remembering to have them (separately) throughout the day.
How often do you drink green juice?
A few times a week. Just as often as I remember really, it's usually when I remember I haven't taken my vitamins for the day.
How much of each vitamin do you have?
As much as is recommended on the container. Take too many vitamins and you just end up with expensive pee. It doesn't stay in your system, so just take enough. I don't take two of one vitamin at once if I missed a day.
