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..."

Indole 3 carbinol

This ingredient can be found in: Pop A Purple | Pop A Green

Indole-3-carbinol is a compound found in high levels in cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, radishes, cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and daikon). Consumption of cruciferous vegetables has been shown of reduce the risk of estrogen-sensitive breast cancer (about 80% of breast cancer), with higher consumption associated with increased protection.

Indole-3-carbinol alters estrogen signaling to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Estrogens are hormones that are important in the development of female sex characteristics, such as breasts, and are important in regulating the menstrual cycle.  Estrogen can also strongly stimulate certain types of breast cancer. In addition, Indole-3-carbinol has been shown to protect against DNA damage caused by carcinogens and reduce tumor growth. It also increases the effectiveness of tamoxifen, a drug used to treat early-stage and metastatic breast cancer.

Indole-3-carbinol is an antioxidant and stimulator of the body’s natural detoxifying enzymes. It has numerous anticancer effects, inhibiting tumor formation and growth, cancer cell proliferation, and stimulating apoptosis (programmed cell death). Indole-3-carbinol has also shown promise in preventing the development of cervical, prostate, endometrial, and skin cancer.
