Why Choose Step 2? After optimizing ATP production and healthy drainage pathways in Step 1, Step 2 focuses on promoting the body’s natural detoxification processes and nurturing the gut microbiome. Step 2 consists of BC-ATP, BioToxin Binder, Para 1, and Para 2. Para 1, our flagship gut and immune support supplement (made from 100% pure Mimosa pudica seed), encourages the removal of occasional intestinal buildup. Para 2 supports enhanced digestive function with herbs used traditionally to promote detoxification and gut health, including clove, neem, triphala, and vidanga. Together, these supplements give the body the extra push it needs to support its detoxification processes. Individuals will continue to take BC-ATP and BioToxin Binder to promote ATP production, a balanced gut microbiome, and the body’s natural ability to detoxify. What Is Included In Step 2? For those who are sensitive, it's recommended to introduce one product at a time in the order listed below. Continue taking CT-Minerals from Step 1 until the bottle is finished. BC-ATP: The highly charged organic acids support metabolism and the ATP cycle in being at peak efficiency. These carbons also assist in the body’s natural detoxification processes and contribute to a balanced gut microbiome. In clinical practice, BC-ATP is generally well-tolerated by sensitive individuals and may help improve protocol tolerance. BioToxin Binder: Promotes the body’s natural ability to detoxify and lends increased support to the gut microbiome, which optimizes immunity and digestive function. Para 1: Naturally gelatinous and made from 100% pure Mimosa pudica seed, Para 1 becomes jelly-like and sticky as it makes its way through the GI tract. This encourages the removal of occasional intestinal buildup, supports the gut microbiome, and promotes the body’s natural ability to detoxify. Para 2: Formulated with a variety of herbs to support immunity and the gut microbiome, as well as promote the body’s natural ability to detoxify. Amla fruit, clove bud, holarrhena bark, neem leaf, and vidanga fruit team up to optimize digestion, support bowel regularity, and help maintain a healthy gut bacterial balance. When introducing a new supplement, we recommend beginning with 1 at a time and/or the lowest dose for 2-3 days. As tolerated, increase the dose until you have reached the recommended normal or advanced guidelines. Reduce to a tolerable dosage if adverse effects occur. What Is Step 2 Dosing? FAQs: Can this Support Pack be taken with other Support Packs or bundled products? No. Every Support Pack is designed to address specific bodily needs and detoxification strategies. We discourage introducing additional Support Packs or using multiple phase bundles at any one time. Always consult a practitioner if you are looking for advanced strategies to support your unique health goals. 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. Is the protocol safe for children and women during pregnancy/breastfeeding? For children and women during pregnancy/breastfeeding, we recommend working with a healthcare practitioner. Can the supplements in Step 2 cause or worsen existing symptoms? Since all of the supplements in this step promote the body's natural detoxification process, 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 an individual experiences excess reactions, we recommend introducing one supplement at a time (and starting with a half dose) in the order listed on the dosing chart. Note that if the supplements in this step aren't well tolerated at a regular or sensitive dose, it's recommended for the patient to do the Comprehensive Protocol instead of the Foundation Protocol-as this suggests the body's needs for support are greater. Do the supplements have to be taken with food, or can they be taken without? All of the other supplements in this step are recommended to take between meals for maximum potency. However, if patients are sensitive to any of the ingredients, they can take them with meals. KL Support and ViRadChem were previously included in this step. Why were they removed? Recently, small modifications have been made to our protocols to make them more effective, better tolerated, and highly customizable. KL Support is now included in Step 1 of the Foundational Protocol as a key drainage support supplement (in place of Advanced TUDCA, which isn't as easily tolerated immediately). BioToxin Binder has replaced ViRadChem Binder in this step because it offers stronger gut support at this stage of detoxification. ViRadChem Binder is now in Step 3 of the Foundational Protocol, which promotes systemic detoxification. Para 1 is sticky. How can I take this product if I want to open the capsule? Due to the sticky properties of the Para 1, it cannot be taken with water if the capsule is opened up. We recommend taking it in food substances like honey, olive oil, or even syrup. This makes it so the body can digest the Para 1 and it isn't too sticky to swallow. Why does Para 1 need to be taken one hour away from binders (such as BioToxin Binder or ViRadChem Binder)? We recommend taking Para 1 one hour away from all binders (BioToxin Binder, Carboxy, HM-ET Binder and ViRadChem Binder), as the binders can cause Para 1 to lose its effectiveness. All other CellCore products can be taken alongside Para 1. Prop 65 Concern Warning: Please consult your healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering use for a child. Warning: Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals, including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. This product undergoes stringent third-party testing on all ingredients prior to release. Our quality control exceeds FDA GMP compliance, which includes requirements to analyze raw materials for heavy metals, microorganisms, and other contaminants. We have undergone multiple FDA inspections, and our facilities are NSF GMP certified and inspected four times per year. Examples of how difficult it can be to meet the Proposition 65 .5 mcg level are for instance, a 4 ounce serving of wine contains 6.8mcg of lead, which is almost 14 times higher that allowed by Proposition 65. A 4 ounce serving of raw peach contains 3.4 mcg of lead, almost 7 times the limit. And finally a 4 ounce serving of watermelon has naturally occurring levels of 4.5 mcg of lead, 9 times the accepted limits set by Proposition 65. Read more here.
