Juices tend to aid in the mixing and suspension of all the nutrients in Alpha ENF and assure palatability of the formula. The blender tends to mix the formula completely and reduces the tendency for some of the less soluble nutrients to settle. An alternative is to mix Alpha ENF in a sealed container which you can shake by hand. The basic idea of Alpha ENF is to supply a set of nutrients in their pure form.
Some nutrients have odd odors and the overall taste is salty and a bit metallic.
There tends to be a lingering salty after-taste. While it is tempting to add a lot of flavoring, coloring, sweetening and emulsifying additives to Alpha ENF to make it taste better, we have always resisted the temptation. Instead, we concentrated on the safety and effectiveness of the formula. For most people, Alpha ENF functions best if it is kept pure. Blender Drinks Pleasant drinks can be made with fruits, water, and Alpha ENF mixed in the blender - with ice if you like it cold.
