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..."

ginger_root-01Ginger is the underground stem of the ginger plant (Zingiber officinale) that is used in cooking and has traditionally been used for conditions such as colds, fevers, nausea, and digestive problems.

In a study of treatments for motion sickness, ginger was even more effective than the conventional treatment, Dramamine. It was also effective for nausea and vomiting after surgery and in pregnancy. Nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy can be debilitating for many women. Severe or prolonged cases can cause fluid and electrolyte imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, weight loss, depression, and inability to work. Ginger is effective for many women and does not cause side effects, unlike some conventional treatments.

Ginger is a potent inhibitor of NFkB, but doesn’t affect its normal functioning. The protein NFkB plays an essential role in numerous cellular functions, but when it is overactive, it can cause inflammation and is involved in the development of cancers. Conventional cancer therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, can increase inflammation in the body. For that reason, natural anti-inflammatory supplements may be useful during or after these treatments. Ginger also has anti-inflammatory effects against ovarian cancer, the most lethal gynecologic malignancy.

Ginger’s anti-inflammatory properties make it useful for many other conditions. Functional bowel disorders are chronic, difficult-to-treat conditions that are often not completely treated with conventional therapies. Ginger is one of the most popular herbs used for digestive problems. Asthma is another chronic condition for which effective treatments are needed. In combination with other herbs, ginger has been shown to be an effective “add-on” therapy for some adults with asthma who need help controlling their symptoms. In addition, people with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and muscular discomfort have reported pain relief and reduced swelling with the use of ginger.

Ginger may also be useful in the fight against infectious diseases. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause of staph infections, which can range from minor skin infections to life-threatening diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, and septicemia. Ginger has the ability to enhance the effectiveness of certain antimicrobial drugs (tetracycline and netilmicin) that fight staph infection. Infection with Helicobacter pylori can cause chronic severe gastrointestinal diseases, including gastric and duodenal ulcers, and gastric cancers. Antibiotics are part of the conventional treatment for this infection, but antibiotic resistance is on the rise, reducing the effectiveness of this therapy. Ginger was found to be very effective in killing this bacterium, without side effects and with no risk of resistance.
