The health benefits of grapefruit juice has long been known. From reducing cold symptoms and promoting cardiovascular health as a rich source of vitamin C to protection against certain types of cancer, grapefruit juice is a food of great taste and health benefits. "Despite popular belief, most prescription drugs don't preclude drinking grapefruit juice," said John Martinelli, Executive Vice President, Natalie's Orchid Island Juice Company. "Specifically, those who take cholesterol lowering medications often think that they have to avoid grapefruit juice. That is not necessarily true in all cases."

Those people who are taking the cholesterol lowering medication Lipitor® should avoid grapefruit juice. But those on Crestor®, Pravachol® or Zocor® need not refrain from refreshing with Natalie's Orchid Island Grapefruit Juice. "People should consult with their healthcare practitioner about grapefruit juice consumption and/or read the medication insert that comes with all prescriptions," added Martinelli.

Natalie's Orchid Island Juice Company touts its grapefruit juice as not only great tasting, but healthy, too. Research has confirmed that in addition to its many health benefits, grapefruit juice may help prevent weight gain by its ability to lower insulin levels, decreasing hunger pangs as well. And, only Florida grapefruits are used in Natalie's Orchid Island Grapefruit Juice.
