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..."

Camu camu (Myrciaria dubia)

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

camucamu-01Camu camu is a small purple-red fruit from a small tree that grows in the Amazon rainforest. This nutritious fruit has extremely high amounts of Vitamin C (2.4–3.0 grams per 100 grams of fruit), as well as significant amounts of potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins.

Vitamin C is not only the most important antioxidant obtained from food, it is also a potent anti-inflammatory agent that can protect against numerous chronic diseases. Moreover, camu camu exerts more powerful healing effects than synthetic supplements with equivalent vitamin C content. One reason for this effect is that camu camu contains numerous other antioxidant and anti-inflammatory substances such as carotenoids and anthocyanines that appear to amplify its healing effects. In addition, the high levels of potassium found in camu camu increase vitamin C absorption.

Adequate amounts of vitamin C are essential for healthy connective tissue, which includes skin, blood vessels, bones ligaments, and tendons. People with low levels of vitamin C suffer from poor wound healing and in extreme cases, scurvy. Chronically low levels of vitamin C can contribute to the development of cancer and cardiovascular disease. By removing free radicals, vitamin C can cancel out the cell-damaging effects of free radicals, providing protection from heart disease, cancers, and numerous other age-related diseases like macular degeneration and cataracts.

The extremely high nutritional content of camu camu means that it has many other health-promoting properties. Antidepressive, antiviral (herpes, HIV), and memory enhancement are among its biological effects. This fruit has been long used by people in traditional Amazonian societies, and it beginning to be cultivated on a large scale so that its health benefits can be enjoyed by all.
