Phytochemicals
Phytochemicals are the compounds that occur naturally in plants. Some are responsible for color, such as the deep blue of blueberries, others for smell, such as the smell of garlic. Most phytochemicals have antioxidant properties that help guard against cell damage.

Enzymes
Fruit and vegetable juices provide a convenient source of enzymes. Enzymes spark the essential chemical reactions for digesting food, stimulating the brain, providing cellular energy, and for repairing tissue from inflammation or other damage.

Protein from Non-Meat Sources
Although fruits and vegetables do not contain large quantities of protein, their juice can be a convenient carrier. Simply add some brewer’s yeast, wheat germ, or whole grains to whatever you’re juicing. These give you protein (without the fat) that is quickly and easily absorbed by the body.
