Pharmacist’s advice

Rabenhorst vegetable juice can be a convenient way to include the flavour of different vegetables in the diet, but it cannot completely replace salads, cooked vegetables and other fibre-rich foods.

The most important label detail is the salt content. A 200 ml glass provides approximately 1.5 g of salt, so a smaller amount or a lower-salt juice may be more appropriate for people with high blood pressure.

Lactic-acid fermentation is a production process that influences flavour and preservation. As commercial juice is heat-treated, it should not be expected to provide a therapeutic probiotic effect.

Swelling of the lips or tongue, hives, hoarseness, difficulty breathing or sudden weakness may indicate an allergic reaction, particularly to celery, and requires urgent medical assistance.
