Get the Antioxidant Capacity Equivalent of 6 Servings of Vegetables in 1 Tablespoon of GNC’s New Maximum Greens™ Complete

General Nutrition Centers, Inc. (GNC), the nation’s largest specialty retailer of nutritional supplements, offers a new, time-saving product – Maximum Greens™ Complete, a nutrient-dense superfood that offers a blend of greens, fruits, vegetables, antioxidants and enzymes to help support good health. New Dietary Guidelines Call for Increased Fruit & Vegetable Consumption.

PITTSBURGH, PA (Wednesday, January 12, 2005) - Eat your vegetables. This bit of advice is more important than ever as the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) increased its recommended number of servings of fruits and vegetables from 5-9 per day up to 5-13 earlier today. But unfortunately, for many busy Americans this may be difficult to consume on a daily basis. General Nutrition Centers, Inc. (GNC), the nation’s largest specialty retailer of nutritional supplements, offers a new, time-saving product – Maximum Greens™ Complete, a nutrient-dense superfood that offers a blend of greens, fruits, vegetables, antioxidants and enzymes to help support good health.

“Maximum Greens Complete gives individuals more antioxidant capacity than six standard servings of vegetables in one tablespoon,” explained Kim Kitko, senior brand director, herbs. “We understand that people have busy lives. This product offers a convenient way to obtain the nutrition that may not be present in a typical daily diet.”

According to a 2002 survey published by the Produce for Better Health Foundation (PBH), fruit and vegetable consumption is declining. In fact, only 1 in 5 Americans meet the previous 5 a day minimum serving requirements for fruits and vegetables.

“People weren’t eating enough fruits and vegetables even under the previous guidelines,” said Kitko. “Now with the increase to 5-13 servings, it’s going to be even more difficult to incorporate the necessary fruits and vegetables into a healthy diet, which is why Maximum Greens Complete is such a great product.”

For the health-conscious individual, Maximum Greens Complete offers a high-quality, whole-food-based supplement produced from over 26 nutrient dense super foods. By mixing one tablespoon of this all-natural powder into an 8-ounce glass of water or orange juice; or sprinkling it in yogurt or oatmeal, individuals receive more antioxidant capacity than six standard servings of vegetables.
