Medical disclaimer

Before implementing any new nutritional therapies, including Prolon, or before making any changes to your diet, fasting routine, supplement regimen, or other health-related practices, consult with your healthcare practitioner to determine what is appropriate for your individual needs and medical history.

Always seek the guidance of a qualified healthcare practitioner regarding any questions or concerns about your health.

For generally healthy adults, fasting can be a safe and beneficial practice. However, please note that Prolon may not be appropriate for everyone.

Important precautions

Medications

Consult your healthcare practitioner before starting Prolon if you take prescription medications. Fasting and dietary changes may affect medication absorption, metabolism, blood sugar levels, blood pressure, or other health markers. Medication adjustments may be necessary.

Physical activity

Avoid strenuous exercise, prolonged endurance activities, hot tubs, saunas, and other forms of intense physical exertion during the 5-day program.

Allergic reactions

If you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or fever, discontinue the program immediately and seek medical attention.

Common side effects

Some individuals may experience temporary side effects during fasting, including:

  • Headache
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Lightheadedness
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Changes in sleep patterns
  • Hunger

These effects are generally temporary and often improve after the fasting period is completed.

Prolon is designed to help reduce many of the common symptoms associated with fasting by providing specific macro- and micronutrients. However, because it is still a low-calorie program, we encourage you to discuss with your healthcare practitioner whether fasting or a fasting mimicking diet is appropriate for you.
