Product Review - Jarrow Formulas


A few months ago I had the pleasure of reviewing the gluten free probiotic supplements from Jarrow Formulas. Today I am happy to present you with reviews for 3 more of Jarrow Formulas gluten free, vegetarian health products.



The PomeGreat Pomegranate Grape & Blueberry Juice Concentrate is quick and delicious way to reap the anti-oxident rich benefits of these juices. I liked the convenience of being able to drink just a small amount of juice, knowing it was packed full of nutrients.


Here's what Jarrow Formulas has to say about PomeGreat Pomegranate Grape & Blueberry Juice Concentrate:

"PomeGreat™ Pomegranate + Grape + Blueberry Juice Concentrate:

Decreases Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation.*
Promotes vascular and capillary integrity.*
Supports normal vascular contraction.*
Promotes normal cell function and proliferation.*

WARNING: Pomegranate juice, like grapefruit juice, may interact with a number of medications. People on any medication, especially on anti-hypertensive or cholesterol lowering medications, or people who are allergic to many plants, should consult their physician before taking pomegranate juice or pomegranate products.

"I am a big fan of protein powder, and often whip up a quick protein fruit smoothie for breakfast or lunch. I was very happy to discover that Jarrow Formulas makes a gluten free, vegetarian brown rice protein powder. It has a neutral taste, and works great in my smoothie recipes!

Here's what Jarrow Formulas has to say about their Brown Rice Protein:

"Jarrow FORMULAS® Brown Rice Protein Concentrate, made from brown rice, is easily digested, hypoallergenic and a vegetarian/vegan source of protein."

Ideal for/as:

A high-protein alternative to soy and animal products.

I have wanted to try Spirulina supplements for some time, and was pleased to finally get my chance. I am interested in anything that might support the body's detoxification process.


Here's what Jarrow Formulas has to say about their Organic Spirulina supplements:

"Jarrow FORMULAS® Organic Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a species of cyanobacteria and a nutrient-dense food, with naturally occurring vitamin B12 and phytonutrients, including the green pigment chlorophyll and carotenoids, which are free radical scavengers shown to induce the Phase 2 liver detoxification enzymes that play an essential role in the body’s detoxification system.*

Jarrow FORMULAS® Organic Spirulina is certified 100% organic and guaranteed to be free of herbicides and pesticides.*

I am always on the lookout for a gluten free vitamin supplement that is geared for a woman, and does not upset my stomach. I have been very pleased with the Women's Multi from Jarrow Formulas. It has been one of the few daily supplements that my sensitive stomach can tolerate.


Here's what Jarrow Formulas has to say about their Women's Multi Vitamins:

"Jarrow FORMULAS® Women’s Multi is specially formulated to meet women’s nutritional needs:

• Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption, needed for maintaining strong bones.
• For antioxidation protection against free radical damage: Pomegranate, gamma-tocopherol, selenium and grape seed extract.*

I have been very pleased with all of the health products that I have tried from Jarrow Formulas in the last few months. I admire Jarrow for going the extra mile to accommodate people with food intolerances, by offering some products that are gluten free, vegetarian, dairy free and soy free (check each product listing to verify ingredients).

Visit the store locater page on the Jarrow Formulas website if you would like to find a store near you that carries their products.
