Nourish Juice Ingredients
Beets- beets contain nitrates which help open the blood vessels and increase oxygen flow as well as lower blood pressure. Beets are known liver detoxifiers and help support liver function.
Carrots- Known for their beta carotene but also rich in vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B8, pantothenic acid, folate, potassium, iron, copper and manganese. The nutrients in carrots can improve the health of your eyes, skin, hair, nails and more through helping to detoxify your system and build new cells
Ginger- Ginger contains potent anti-inflammatory compounds and is known for being an effective digestive aid and used to relieve nausea.
Kale- Kale's nutrient richness stands out in three particular areas: (1) antioxidant nutrients, (2) anti-inflammatory nutrients, and (3) anti-cancer nutrients in the form of glucosinolates. It's rich in chlorophyll and is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet.
Spinach- Spinach is rich in fiber, iron, beta carotene, and protein/amino acids. It acts as an anti-inflammatory, and has brain boosting and anti-cancer properties.
Cucumbers- Cucumbers contain phytosterols, shown to help lower cholesterol levels, as well as electrolytes like potassium important for keeping blood pressure in check. They’re also super hydrating due to their high water content.
Cilantro- Cilantro is most often cited as being effective for toxic metal cleansing and rightfully so, this herb is a powerful, natural cleansing agent and detoxifying to the body.
Celery- Celery juice is highly nutritious and one of the most hydrating foods we can put in our bodies. Because it is incredibly alkalizing, it equalizes the body's PH, which is vital for optimal health.
Lemon- Known for its therapeutic property for generations, lemon helps to strengthen your immune system, cleanse your stomach, and it is considered a blood purifier. Lemons are rich in vitamin c, vitamin B6, vitamin A, vitamin E, folate, niacin, and riboflavin. This citrus fruit contains flavonoids, which are composites that contain antioxidant and cancer fighting properties.
Pineapple- Pineapples contain a relatively rare proteolytic enzyme called bromelain, which is primarily associated with breaking down complex proteins, but is also an anti-inflammatory. A single serving of pineapple has more than 130% of the daily requirement of vitamin-C. Vitamin C is mainly associated with reducing illness and boosting the immune system by stimulating the activity of white blood cells and acting as an antioxidant to defend against the harmful effects of free radicals.
Orange- Oranges, like other citrus fruits, are an excellent source of vitamin C. They also contain a variety of phytochemicals and help counteract free radicals.
Apple- Most of the polyphenols in apples function as antioxidants. Many health benefit studies focusing on the antioxidant benefits from apple. Particularly strong is the ability of apples to decrease oxidation of cell membrane fats. This benefit is especially important in our cardiovascular system.
"True Green"
Why "Cold Pressed" Juice?
Cold-pressed juice is made with a hydraulic press that uses 2,000 lbs of pressure to extract the maximum amount of liquid from fresh fruits and vegetables that have been shredded. No additional heat or oxygen is used in the process, which preserves more nutrients than traditional juicers. Centrifugal are the most common juicers (especially at home) and certainly the most affordable. These typically utilize a fast-spinning metal blade that spins against a mesh filter, separating juice from flesh by centrifugal force. The juice and pulp are then separated into different containers. The "problem" with centrifugal juicers is that the fast-spinning metal blade generates heat, which destroys some of the enzymes in the fruits and vegetables being juiced. Let's be clear here,these juices are still very healthy and certainly better than any store bought juice, but you certainly get more bang for your nutrient buck when you drink cold pressed juice. I come from the pharmaceutical world where if there isn't a study it's just a claim. So here is a lab study done by Good Nature comparing vitamin A from carrot juice, folate from beet juice, vitamin C from kale.

Carrot Test
Carrots are a great source of many vitamins but are highest in Vitamin A. Here are the results, the vitamin content for Vitamin A in the cold press juice was 15% higher, with 10,000 IU/100g vs 8,500 IU/100g.
Beet Test
Beets are extremely high in Vitamin B9-Folate. Folic acid and vitamin folate are almost identical in nature, the main difference is folate is naturally forming and water soluble where folic acid is synthetic. For this test, Cold press came in 16.2% higher with 31 mcg/100g vs 26 mcg/100g.
Kale Test
Kale is loaded with lots of different vitamins and minerals, it was between Vitamin A or Vitamin C, since we already tested Vitamin A with the carrots we decided to go with Vitamin C. The test results came back 13.1% higher in the cold press, with 23 mg/100 vs 20 mcg/100g.
Any time you consume organic fruits and vegetables in any form you are doing your body a favor. Drinking cold pressed juice just ensures you get a couple of pounds of produce in one bottle. Cheers to your health!
