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..."

Strawberry

This ingredient can be found in: Pop A Purple

strawberry-01Strawberries are fragrant red fruits that grow on low-growing herbaceous plants. Although the garden strawberry was first bred in Europe in the early 18th century, a large variety of garden strawberries are now available.  Like other berries, strawberries contain high amounts of flavonoids and other polyphenol compounds, which have strong antioxidant effects. Polyphenols absorb free radicals that damage cell membranes, proteins, and DNA. Flavonoids also exhibit antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties.

Strawberry extracts appear to protect against the oxidative effects of aging on the brain. In research studies, strawberry extract supplements have been shown to reduce age-related neuron damage and motor behavioral changes in rats. By reducing the damaging effects of excess dopamine and amyloid beta protein, strawberries may also help prevent Alzheimer disease and Parkinson disease.

Strawberries also show biological activity against cancer. Strawberry supplements added to the diets of mice were able to moderately reduce DNA damage and stimulate DNA repair by cellular enzymes.  Strawberry extracts also demonstrated potential anticancer effects by inhibiting angiogenesis, the process of growing new blood vessels needed for tumor growth and metastasis.
