• Celery- The minerals contained in celery juice make the body better able to use calcium, balancing the blood's pH. Celery juice is thought to have a calming effect on the nervous system, and to reduce one's appetite for sweets. 
• Carrot- Carrot juice is an extremely rich source of beta carotene, which is converted by the body into pro-vitamin A (natural vitamin A). Vitamin A is essential for the normal development and health of many body tissues, including the skin and eyes. 
• Beet- Known as a blood builder and kidney purifier, beet juice is a good source of vitamin B-6 and minerals like chlorine, iron, sodium and potassium.

• Tomatoes- Tomatoes include lycopene and according to Livestrong.com, "Lycopene gives the tomato its red color and has been found to have antioxidant and cancer-preventing properties."
• Carrots- "The high traces of beta carotene boost the anti-oxidant properties of carrot juice. It is the beta carotene that converts into vitamin A inside the body. The vitamin A fights to eliminate the free radicals in the body and hence fights cancer." (Home Remedies for You)
• Celery- According to Naturalnews.com, celery juice lowers cholesterol, aids in digestion, is a diuretic, an anti inflammatory, lowers blood pressure, as well as many more health benefits!
• Beets- Just check out this previous Biotta blog post on the benefits of drinking beet juice, including its heart healthy and cancer fighting qualities.

• Juices are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that are easily assimilated within fifteen minutes of drinking. The juice is quickly distributed throughout the body to build, heal, repair and restore optimum health. 
• Juices cleanse the blood, which is the body’s lifeline. Clean blood loaded with nutrients will ensure a healthy long life. 
• Juicing helps to pre-digest food so that it can be easily absorbed by the body. 
• Juicing removes indigestible fiber. If a carrot is eaten, one may only get 1% of the beta-carotene, but if it's juiced, 100% of the important beta-carotene will be assimilated. 
• Vegetable and fruit juicing helps to reduce cholesterol, dissolves clogged arteries, reduces the risk of heart attack, reduces high blood pressure, dissolves kidney stones, cleanses the liver, prevents cancers, increases energy and other health benefits. 

Functional foods are “foods or dietary components that may provide a health benefit beyond basic nutrition.”* Functional foods may have health-promoting or disease-preventing properties that can help you prevent or treat chronic conditions. 

Functional foods include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fortified foods and beverages, and some dietary supplements. Researchers have recently begun to discover that some of the specific compounds in fruits and vegetables can influence health and wellness.** 

Many scientific organizations are currently trying to establish guidelines to validate claims for functional foods. In order for people to fully understand the health benefits of certain foods, it’s important that a strong effort be made to document scientific criteria that are used for health statements and claims.*

Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are great ways to bring more functional foods into your diet. They help you personalize your nutrition, so you can consume the functional foods most likely to help your condition. For example, if you have digestive concerns, you may want to try Biotta’s Sauerkraut Juice. Hypertension problems? Drink Biotta Beet Juice to increase the betacyans in your diet and help lower blood pressure. Eyesight concerns? Try our carrot juice with natural beta-carotene, which is essential for your eyes.

With the increased interest in functional foods, the benefits of fresh fruits and vegetable juices can hardly be overstated. Biotta’s 100% fresh juices allow you to choose the individualized approach that will benefit you most.

Biotta produces USDA organic juices, available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

The early Greeks believed in the benefits of carrot juice, and it has been considered one of the healthiest snacks since then. What exactly are the benefits of carrot juice? First, carrots are rich in natural beta-carotene, which our bodies transform into vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential to our eyesight, but it also helps keep the mucous membranes that line all the cavities of our bodies healthy, promotes the growth of bones and teeth, and helps us resist infections.

Carrot juice is also high in the vitamin B complex. It’s rich in important minerals (calcium, copper, magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorous, chlorine, sulfur and iron), and contains vitamin E, which is thought to help prevent cancer.

You bet. And here’s why. Our amazing bodies have the ability to change natural beta-carotene into vitamin A, which is essential for our eyes. Our lifestyle (computer screens, TV watching, night driving, reading and writing in artificial light) places an enormous strain on our eyes. That means the body needs more vitamin A, which is plentiful in carrots.

Biotta’s Carrot Juice celebrated its 50^th anniversary in 2007. For more than half a century, we have been producing 100% natural, organic, fresh carrot juice to pharmacies, health food stores, natural food stores and select grocers throughout the country.
