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..."

Cranberry

This ingredient can be found in: Pop A Purple

cranberry-01Cranberries are small red fruits from a group of shrubs (Vaccinium) that grow in acidic bogs in North America. Cranberries contain significant amounts of vitamin C, proanthocyanidins, and other polyphenols. Native Americans have long used cranberries to treat bladder and kidney conditions. Other traditional uses for cranberry include stomach disorders, appetite loss, vomiting, scurvy, and cancer.

Cranberries are well known for their potent antimicrobial effects. They have been shown to prevent E coli infection by preventing the bacteria from binding to human cells, the first step in the process of infection. This action, apparently mediated by proanthocyanidins, is believed to be the way cranberries are able to reduce urinary tract infections.

Cranberries can help prevent gum disease and cavities through its ability to prevent dental plaque. Dental plaque is formed by bacterial adhesion to the tooth surfaces, this growth is also known as a biofilm. Cranberry is able to reduce the adhesion and growth of Streptococcus mutans and S sobrinus, some of the primary bacteria involved in tooth decay and periodontal disease.

Cranberry also shows promise as a treatment for stomach ulcers. In combination with oregano, it has been shown to inhibit urease, an enzyme that enables Helicobacter pylori to survive in acidic conditions. H pylori is a bacterium found in the stomach and small intestine that can cause ulcers. Antibiotics are the conventional treatment for stomach ulcers, but antiobiotics can have unpleasant side effect and the bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics. Cranberry supplementation may help reduce the risk of ulcers.
