The Pulp & Press Method
What type of juicer do you use to make your juice?
We use an industrial grade, hydraulic cold press juicer to make each and every one of our delicious juices!
ARE ALL OF YOUR INGREDIENTS 100% ORGANIC?
Absolutely! We strive to provide our customers with only the best, so naturally our ingredient list reflects that!
WHERE DO YOU SOURCE YOUR INGREDIENTS FROM?
We believe in supporting your own economy to build a stronger community. That’s why we buy all of our ingredients, weather permitting, from local farmers and retailers.
HOW LONG WILL THE JUICE STAY FRESH?
Kept refrigerated and unopened, our juice will maintain its freshness for up to 180 days from the date it was bottled. When you receive your juice, you’ll have at least 21 days before the best-before dates printed on the caps (likely longer!). For optimal nutrient absorption, we suggest consuming your juice before the best-before date. We do not recommend consuming juices that are beyond the best-before date.
SHOULD I FREEZE MY JUICE?
Please do not freeze your juice. Our juices are fresh and never frozen, so freezing can damage the live enzymes and nutrients. It can also cause the product to expand, leading to broken seals and early spoilage. Just keep the juices sealed and refrigerated to maintain their freshness!
DO YOU PASTEURIZE YOUR JUICE?
No! When juice is pasteurized it is heated to a high temperature for a short period destroying the vital nutrients and enzymes of the raw juice.
We use HPP to keep our juice 100% natural so that you get 100% of the nutritional benefits.
WHAT IS HPP (HIGH PRESSURE PROCESSING)?
High pressure processing (HPP) is an all-natural method in which fruits and vegetables are processed under very high pressure. The process kills harmful organisms and bacteria without compromising the nutritional value.
Unlike heat pasteurization, HPP retains the taste, texture, nutrients, and quality of the ingredients. It also extends the shelf life of our juices, so you have more time to enjoy them!
IS THE JUICE DILUTED WITH WATER?
Absolutely not! Our juice is made from 100% fresh fruits and vegetables. Eclipse is our only cold-pressed juice flavor that contains water.
ARE THERE ANY ADDITIVES OR SWEETENERS IN THE JUICE?
No way! Our delicious juice is created with only raw fruits and vegetables, benefiting from their natural flavors and sugars.
DO YOU RECYCLE?
We believe recycling is imperative to protecting the welfare of the environment. That’s why our juice bottles are made from 100% PET plastic, an eco-friendly packaging option. Please rinse your bottle and dispose of them in your recycling.
Cleanse Specific
I AM NEW TO JUICING & I DON’T KNOW WHICH CLEANSE TO SELECT. WHAT DO I DO?
Take our 60 second quiz to find the cleanse for you.
We also created The Complete Guide To Juicing to answer everything you’ve ever wondered about starting a juice cleanse—from juicing basics and tips to how to choose the right cleanse for you.
SHOULD I BE DRINKING WATER ON THE CLEANSE?
Yes! Drinking plenty of water is key to helping your body flush out toxins. We recommend that you drink at least 8 cups of water each day to make sure you’re staying hydrated while doing your cleanse.
HOW MANY JUICES WILL I BE DRINKING PER DAY?
For each of our juice cleanses, you will be consuming 7 of our raw, organic juices every day.
HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH JUICES TO DRINK AND WHEN?
Our Cleanse Guides page contains all the guides and juice lists you will need to effectively complete your cleanse, including:
- Which juices you will be consuming each day
- What order to drink your juices in
- The best recommended time frames you should be drinking each juice
CAN I DRINK ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE JUICE WHILE COMPLETING MY CLEANSE?
Yes! We recommend that you drink at least 8 cups of water for each day of your cleanse. The water will help to flush toxins from your body as well as keep you feeling full.
You can also have warm herbal teas to subside moments of hunger cravings. Specific suggestions will be provided upon cleanse signup.
CAN I EAT ANY SOLID FOOD WHILE I AM CLEANSING?
For the majority of our cleanses the answer is no. One of the main benefits of completing a juice cleanse is to provide your digestive organs with a much needed break. Your body will benefit from the surge of vitamins and nutrients while your digestive organs can simply flush through the juice that you are consuming.
I DIDN’T RECEIVE THE JUICES I EXPECTED IN THE CLEANSE I ORDERED. WHAT DO I DO?
If you didn’t receive the juices you were expecting, check our cleanses page for a full list of juices included in your cleanse.
There are also occasionally substitutions in orders based on stock. Substitutions will always be similar juices that will provide the same nutrients needed for your cleanse, and will not affect the results in any way.
Something still not right? Please contact us and we’ll fix it!

Health & Medical
CAN I CLEANSE IF I'M PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING?
While cleanses are a great way to boost your health, we don’t recommend them to women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. During this time, it’s important your body is getting sufficient calories to meet the developmental needs of the growing baby in your belly as well as milk production while breastfeeding. Our cleanses simply don’t meet these needs during these periods.
CAN I CLEANSE IF I'M ON MEDICATIONS?
We recommend talking to your doctor before starting a cleanse along with any medication. If you are drinking Eclipse, be sure to take any medications more than 2 hours before or after drinking, as the charcoal can impact the effects of your medication.
CAN I CLEANSE IF I HAVE DIABETES?
If you have a pre-existing health condition like diabetes and are thinking of doing a cleanse, talk to your doctor before you start. This will help make sure your cleanse goes safely and smoothly.
SHOULD I STOP TAKING MY VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS?
Many people continue to take vitamin supplements while doing a cleanse. As with other medications, we recommend talking to your doctor first so you can make the best choice for you and your body.
SHOULD I GET A COLONIC?
Some health professionals believe that the buildup of fecal matter may cause stagnant toxins to be absorbed into the bloodstream through the colon walls, calls autointoxication. The medical jury is still out on whether or not they fully support the use of colonics for toxin releasing measures, so the decision to get a colonic is based on your own personal opinion.
WHAT IS AN INFRARED SAUNA & HOW WILL IT HELP WITH TOXIN FLUSHING?
This particular type of sauna penetrates your body with an infrared wavelength that mobilizes toxins in your body. This causes the toxins to detach from your cells and make their way into your intestines and digestive tract, and ultimately out of your body. Also, in raising your temperature, you will sweat toxins out of your pores. These sessions are highly recommended for maximizing your toxin release.
WILL A MASSAGE HELP TO FLUSH TOXINS FROM MY BODY?
Yes! Not only are massages incredibly relaxing, they can also mobilize toxins in your body, leading to excretion.
CAN I EXERCISE DURING MY CLEANSE?
Working up a healthy sweat will help release toxins through your pores. Just be smart about it. Listen to your body and stick to low-impact and moderate exercise like yoga, walking, and light swimming.
WHAT IS DRY SKIN BRUSHING & HOW WILL IT HELP WITH TOXIN FLUSHING?
Using a stiff bristle brush, preferably made from natural materials, you firmly brush your skin with strokes brushing towards your heart. Not only will it leave your skin feeling soft, dry skin brushing will also remove dead skin cells that clog your pores, preventing your body from expelling toxins.
Also, dry skin brushing stimulates your lymphatic system, which is responsible for eliminating cellular waste in your body.
WILL SMOKING INTERFERE WITH MY JUICE CLEANSE RESULTS?
There are over 4,000 toxin chemicals present in cigarette smoke, which you then inhale and absorb into your body. To maximize your juice cleanse results, we would strongly suggest that you abstain from smoking in order to flush as many toxins from your body as you can, without adding to the list.
For those of you who are looking to quit smoking, completing a juice cleanse can help to kick bad habits to the curb!
DO YOUR PRODUCTS CONTAIN NUTS?
Our products do not contain nuts, but some of our products are produced in a facility that also produces almond and cashew milks. These are made using different equipment and all equipment is cleaned thoroughly between batches, but our bottles do indicate that they “may contain traces of nuts”.
