How Can a Small Capsule Have So Much Nutrition?

Questions from a reader:

With those 77 ingredients in the Pops, how much of each one can actually be in a capsule? Most of the ingredients would be a capsule all by themselves! - Paula from Fort Myer, Florida

Dr. Heidi Dulay, designer of The Pops™, responds:
Enough of each ingredient is in each capsule so that the synergy among them makes a difference. Synergy, not quantity, is the key to their effectiveness - much like good teamwork is the key to winning. For example, having all its co-factors makes the indole C carbinol (a cancer-fighting nutrient) in broccoli and the four other cruciferous vegetables in the Pops maximally useful to the body.

Both Pops also contain Bioperine®, a standardized extract of black pepper that activates metabolism and increases the bioavailability of nutrients. It amps up the effectiveness of all the nutrients in the Pops.

"Less is more" in nutrition means that our bodies can more easily process - and use - small quanitites. In the long run, this translates to more health.

Paul, cabbage also have the same indole C Carbinol as broccoli did and both of them are best known as the anticancer veggies!
