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..."

Maltodextrin

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

Digestive resistant (DR) maltodextrin is a polysaccharide produced from brown rice. Unlike regular maltodextrin, it is not digestible by humans, thus is does not contribute calories or carbohydrates to the diet. This resistance to digestion is the reason DR maltodextrin can help prevent insulin resistance and diabetes by normalizing blood glucose levels when given as a supplement. Diabetes is a growing health concern and supplementation with resistant maltodextrin may be a safe effective way to improve health. In Japan, foods and drinks made with DR maltodextrin have been approved to officially claim health effects as “Foods for Specified Health Uses.”

DR maltodextrin can help restore the proper balance of health-promoting bacteria to potential disease-causing bacteria in the intestine. Beneficial bacteria in the gut are able to use it as a source of energy. Fermentation of digestive resistant maltodextrin by bacteria produces short-chain fatty acids, which lowers the pH in the intestines, further encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Combined with inulin, daily use of digestive resistant maltodextrin has been shown to improve chronic constipation.

DR maltodextrin also provides anticancer effects. A diet containing product was able to protect the intestinal cells against DNA damage when exposed to a carcinogen.
