Product FAQs
Can the supplements in Phase 4B 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 an individual’s toxic load and varies from person to person. If excess reactions occur, consider 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?
Advanced TUDCA should be taken with food. All of the other supplements in this phase are recommended to take between meals for maximum potency, except CT-Biotic, which should be taken with food. However, if sensitivity to any of the other supplements occurs, they can be taken with meals.
What’s the difference between the Comprehensive Protocol and the Foundational Protocol?
The Comprehensive Protocol is an in-depth 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.*
Why are there two components to Phase 4 (Phase 4A and Phase 4B)?
To accommodate the appropriate timeline and dosing for Para 4, which should only be taken for a maximum of two months at a time. This is why Para 4 is included in Phase 4A for two months, and removed from Phase 4B. Both components of Phase 4 achieve the same goal, which is to promote systemic detoxification.*
