Daily Whole Food Multis with 77 Ingredients

The Greens help me wind down…

"Often at night I can't sleep because I'm too worked up running my businesses. If I don't take a Green, I sometimes keep working till 3 or 4 AM, and feel dreadful the next day.

"So now I take Greens with dinner and about 20 minutes before I want to retire, so my mind is calm enough for me to go to sleep. I used to have a shot of cognac or vodka, and sometimes I still do, but they don't work as well as the Greens, plus they're way more expensive and not as healthy."

New Dad finds health – more energy, sleeps better, doesn’t fly off the handle at work anymore…

"If you had asked me at the beginning of the year what I was doing to stay healthy, I would have looked at you with a blank stare. Healthy? Who cares, you only get one ride on this merrygo-round they call life, so why not have fun and be happy.

"Then came the day when, after climbing the stairs to go to bed, I was out of breath and sweating like a pig - and I had walked up them. I thought to myself, "How could I let myself get so out of shape in only 36 years?" Something had to change quick. I was about to become a dad and I want to be around to watch my children grow up.

"I was fortunate to know someone who was so enthusiastic about the Pops that I had no choice but to try them. I am so glad I did. I can now climb stairs easily without sweating, I sleep better at night and I don't fly off the handle at work anymore.

"I love the Pops because they are easy to work into my daily routine. For me, it's one Purple in the morning and one Green after dinner. The Purple gives me the energy to get through the day while the Green helps get rid of all the garbage I eat and helps me sleep better at night."

Unstuck, finally…

"I lost 37 pounds on a low carb diet, but I wasn't eating veggies and I got plugged up. With Pop-A-Green I've been normal for a year now. I can stay on my low carb plan and not worry about getting sick. With both Pops, my husband's high cholesterol dropped 60 points after 3 months..."

grape-seed-concentrate-01Grape seed extract is a concentrated source of powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents.The compounds in grape seed extract that have such a powerful healing effect are called proanthocyanidines, a type of plant flavonoid. They are able to lower cholesterol, fight cancer, protect heart health, strengthen blood vessels, and prevent gum disease, all without the toxic effect of drugs. In addition, it can assist calcium in the formation of bone and may be able to increase bone strength. Grape seed proanthocyanidines also appear to have benefits for people with diabetes. These compounds help reduce the high blood sugar levels responsible for the chronic complications of diabetes. In fact, relatively low doses of grape seed proanthocyanidines had effects similar to commonly-used antidiabetic drugs.

Grape seed extract in particular, through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, slows the growth of cancer cells and causes cancer cell death. Grape seed extract has the same ability as radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy to specifically target prostate cancer cells for cell death, with no effect on healthy normal cells. However, unlike radiation, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy, grape seed extract is well-tolerated and safe.  Many cancer patients take supplements to help prevent colorectal cancer recurrence after surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.  It can also be used as a preventative agent, not just as a treatment for existing cancer.

Grape seed extract has been shown to slow the changes in the brain associated with the development of Alzheimer’s disease and slow the loss of cognitive function. Grape seed extract may also help maintain normal body weight and fight obesity by preventing the changes in fat tissue that are needed to form new fat cells.

Grape seeds are a byproduct of wine making. Traditionally thrown away after the grapes were pressed for juice, the seeds have been found to have numerous health benefits.
