Some of you know me, many probably don’t. I have been taking The Pops for over a year now and don’t even have any other supplement in my home anymore. Back in November I went to work for a new company and there are several there who claim to be “getting healthy”. I see them eating salads for lunch, which I myself have started doing, and other things such as cutting back on soda and sweets – something I am slowly doing (side note: I haven’t had a soda in 6 months, and rarely in the past two years). I also see these same people taking a daily walk or now that the weather is nice a few even ride a bicycle to work.

Then I see it! Gulp, “Centrum” bottles in their cubicles. So off to the web site to see the ingredients:
