Can I do Prolon® more often than once per month?

By Prolon | Jul 22, 2021

No. A Prolon 5-Day FMD cycle is only intended to be done one time per month. We have not tested the safety or efficacy of more frequent use.

How often can you do Prolon?

One 5-Day FMD cycle per month is the most we have in mind. The guidance is three consecutive monthly cycles to start, then 3 to 4 cycles a year for maintenance. A healthcare practitioner can help you set the schedule that suits you.

Why not more often than once a month?

Your body needs a balance between the time spent in the fed state and the time spent in the fasting state. Fasting for too long, or fasting too frequently can lead to malnutrition, loss of lean body mass, decreased energy, and other side effects.

Can I combine Prolon with other prolonged fasts?

We have not tested combining Prolon with other prolonged fasts.
