I need to take these together in order to fit them both in twice daily.

Should probiotics be taken spaced from everything else or just spaced from meds?

I prefer take them on an empty stomach. Can't you take your VSL first thing in the morning and last thing at night?

Vitamins should be taken with food.

I take the Juice Plus at the same time as my other supplements, Am and Pm. I take the VSL3 and Florastor in the middle of the day, spaced away from my antibiotics (since my antibiotics are taken 2x/day).

VSL DS instructions on the packet say it is okay to mix with yogurt or applesauce.

Juice plus and VSL#3 DS should be fine taken together.

I know this is kind of an older post. I recently had a phone consult with a nurse who really thinks I should start juice plus and do double dosing.

My md thinks I should stay on the Thorne Basic Nutrient IV with copper and Iron rather than switching to juice plus. She said if I didn't gave Lyme it would be fine.

I would really like to know if anyone has had significant improvement when starting juice plus. They told me it would take at least three months before I noticed a change.

One claimed their friends scleroderma was improving and the others interstitial cystitis.

Wow... I know it would not improve MY IC .. I can't tolerate ANY vitamin C.

Interested to hear other feedback. You can also do a search here, as this has been discussed before.

Also another consideration is that the capsules are not gluten free. The powdered form is and so are the chews.

Thank you TuTu. I did see a study on their website that talked about a study showing it helped with a methylation defect.

I will try and find it.

Hi Lymetoo, how can this be? Have you tried them all? What happens if you take some?
What about sodium ascorbate?
