5. HEALTHCARE GUIDELINES
- Do not consume ProLon® if you are allergic to any of the ingredients (such as nuts).
- Stay well hydrated by drinking at least 8 cups (64 fl. Oz) of water. Also drink the drink in ProLon® throughout the day as indicated in instruction card.
- It is preferable that you do not consume caffeinated beverages; however, 1 cup of decaffeinated coffee or tea without sweeteners and without additives like cream may be consumed daily, if necessary. It is highly recommended to not consume soda or other sweet beverages, even if they are “diet.”
- Things to avoid include: alcohol consumption, strenuous activities including exercise, and exposure to high or low temperature environments, such as saunas, spas, jacuzzis, and swimming.
- Due to nature of fasting, there are common complaints associated with it including fatigue, headache, dizziness, and difficulty with concentration during the fasting period. Complaints are mild and tolerated for most people. Although ProLon is designed to mitigate many of these risks of fasting by providing specific macro- and micro-nutrients, it is still a low calorie diet, so precautions about water intake, strenuous activity, and heat/cold exposure are important to follow.
- If you feel very drowsy or very weak, you should simply break the fast with juice or food and then do it another time. If this does not help or if you notice rash or allergy symptoms then stop the product immediately and talk to your physician or seek urgent help by calling 911.
WHAT IS PROLON®?Prolon is the first and only scientifically developed and clinically tested Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD™). With ProLon, consumers are biologically fasting for 5 consecutive days while consuming food. The purpose of mimicking a 5-day fasting state is to induce the body’s natural protective & regenerative capabilities; FMDs have been proven by the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California (USC) to clinically induce multiple healthy systemic, metabolic and cellular effects.1,2
Based on the identification of the genes and pathways that regulate aging and cellular protection, ProLon promotes rejuvenative changes, including effects on a wide range of markers that contribute to aging, such as cholesterol, inflammation, and fasting glucose. It has been clinically tested and found to promote beneficial effects in a variety of conditions ranging from excess weight to growth factors associated with DNA damage, when used in multiple consecutive monthly cycles.
ProLon contains 66 unique ingredients that have been studied for over a decade at USC, under the sponsorship of the NIH, to inactivate nutrient sensing pathways while providing nourishment for the body (macronutrients, micronutrients, minerals and vitamins) as well as mimicking and enhancing a fasting state. ProLon is plant-based and comes in a compact box which contains 5 smaller boxes (one for each day). A typical day box contains a variety of bars, soups, snacks, drinks, and supplements. Day 1 is 1100 calories while each of the other 4 days are around 770 calories. While total calories are one dimension of the product, the most important dimension is the proprietary and patented formulation that mimics and enhances a fasting state. Additionally, ProLon is Gluten and Dairy Free.
ProLon mitigates the burden and danger of water-only fasting, while responding to the unmet need of having a readily consumable, proven and safe dietary program that does not require ongoing lifestyle changes, such as long-term dieting.
The body identifies the presence of food through nutrient-sensing pathways- IGF-1, MTOR (Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin), and PKA (Protein Kinase A) are 3 key nutrient-sensing pathways that recognize the presence of protein, carbohydrates (sugars)
- These nutrient-sensing pathways are pro-growth and pro-aging, and lead to many common health problems including heart disease and cancer
- ProLon down-regulates these pathways, enhancing a fasting mode and activating cellular regeneration and rejuvenation
ProLon promotes rejuvenative changes, including effects on a wide range of markers that contribute to aging. In clinical trials, three or more consecutive cycles of ProLon have been found to:
