Comprehensive Phase 5: Deeper Immune Support
After completing the first month of Phase 4, you're ready to begin Phase 5. This phase is designed to work alongside the final four months of Phase 4, fortifying your immune system with potent herbal formulas that work deep within the body. Phase 5 also renews your efforts to support lymphatic function and drainage, ensuring that your body continues to eliminate toxins effectively.
Phase 5 includes four bottles of LymphActiv, and one bottle each of IS-BORR, IS-BART, IS-BAB, and IS-BOOST. These immune-boosting products are introduced sequentially, one month at a time, to maximize their effectiveness. LymphActiv plays a crucial role in this process, supporting the higher portion of your lymphatic system and helping to continuously drain out the toxins being eliminated by the IS products.
Product FAQs
Can I take IS-BART, IS-BAB, IS-BORR, and/or IS-BOOST in the same glass of water?
Yes. It’s recommended to take only two of the IS-products at a time, and they can be taken in the same glass of water.
Can the supplements in Phase 5 cause or worsen existing symptoms?
Since all of the supplements in this phase promote the body’s natural detoxification processes, it’s possible to experience mild detox symptoms, such as bloating, fatigue, constipation, headaches, or gas.* This will depend on your individual toxic load and varies from person to person.
If you experience excess reactions, we recommend introducing one supplement at a time (and starting with a half dose) in the order listed on the dosing chart.
Do any of the supplements interact with medication?
Always consult a licensed healthcare practitioner when introducing a new supplement. As a general guideline, it’s recommended to take all supplements at least two hours away from prescription medications.
Do the supplements have to be taken with food, or can they be taken without?
All of the other supplements in this phase are recommended to take between meals for maximum potency. However, if you are sensitive to any of the ingredients, you can take them with meals.
How does the dosing for IS-BAB, IS-BART, IS-BORR, and IS-BOOST work?
The dosing for the IS-line is staggered so that you are only taking two of the IS-formulas at any given time. It’s not recommended to take all four IS-formulas at once due to their potency and how they can target different concerns.
Here’s how the IS-formula dosing works:
- Introduce IS-BORR and work up to the full dose.
- Once the full dose of IS-BORR is reached, introduce IS-BART and work up to the full dose.
- Take IS-BORR and IS-BART together until IS-BORR is finished.
- Continue to take IS-BART and introduce IS-BAB. Work up to the full dose of IS-BAB.
- Take IS-BART and IS-BAB together until IS-BART is finished.
- Continue to take IS-BAB and introduce IS-BOOST. Work up to the full dose.
- Take IS-BAB and IS-BOOST together until finished. IS-BAB will be finished before IS-BOOST.
Note that you will take LymphActiv the entire time you cycle the IS-formulas.
Is the protocol safe for children or during pregnancy/breastfeeding?
Yes, children can do the protocol. While pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s recommended not to promote periods of deeper cleansing. Instead, consider which individual products or kits could support your needs during these life stages.
For example, BC-ATP and CT-Minerals are gentle formulas that are typically well-tolerated and can be taken individually (outside of the protocol) while pregnant or breastfeeding. For children and women during pregnancy/breastfeeding, we recommend working with a healthcare practitioner closely while taking products.
What’s the difference between the Comprehensive Protocol and the Foundational Protocol?
The Comprehensive Protocol is an intensive approach to supporting detoxification, intended for those who are looking to address their health at the root level and require increased immune and gut support.* Completing the protocol over a prolonged period (9+ months) provides the body with sufficient time (and nutrients) to promote system balance through detoxification.* The Foundational Protocol is a shorter, four-month approach to supporting detoxification.* It’s intended for individuals who are looking to periodically promote cleansing for an overall wellness boost.* It also helps to balance the gut microbiome, increase energy levels, and optimize digestive and immune health — but is not as extensive as the Comprehensive Protocol, which covers more specific areas of health.*
What are the key differences between IS-BAB, IS-BART, IS-BOOST, and IS-BORR?
IS-BAB, IS-BART, and IS-BORR contain different blends of herbs to support immunity and target certain areas of wellness.* IS-BOOST is an all-around immune system support tincture that works in conjunction with the other three tinctures in the IS-line.*
What are the next steps after I complete the Comprehensive Protocol?
After completing the Comprehensive Protocol, we recommend moving on to Optimize A and Optimize B, which are additional phases designed to help maintain and build on your protocol progress.
