Description/ Intervention:	The goal of this clinical research study is to see if ovarian cancer patients who add Juice PLus+ and Juice Plus+ Complete to their diets have better outcomes when compared to ovarian cancer patients who receive only dietary counseling alone.

Study Objectives / Outcomes

The primary objective is to determine whether ovarian cancer patients in their first clinical remission who consume the nutrional supplements Juice Plus+ and Juice Plus+ Complete, will have better outcomes than those undergoing dietary counseling alone, on the following measures:
1. Greater serum carotenoid levels, and
2. Decreased serum lipid peroxide levels.
The secondary objectives are to determine whether ovarian cancer patients in their first clinical remission who consume the nutritional supplements Juice Plus+ and Juice Plus+ Complete, will have better outcomes than those undergoing dietary counseling alone, on the following measures:
1. Decreased malnutrition, including serum albumin, RBP, weight status, hip,waist, wrist, and mid-arm circumference assessments.
2. The assessment of iron status, using measurements of hemoglobin/hematocrit, blood ferritin levels, blood iron levels, and TIBC.
3. Increased serum vitamin and mineral levels (i.e., tocopherols, B₁₂, magnesium, and zinc).
4. A Quality of life survey. Time of relapse will also be recorded.
