How Often Should Your Patients Take The 5-Day ProLon® Diet?
The ProLon clinical trials protocol included three consecutive cycles of ProLon (5-day only per month over three consecutive months). It is up to the practitioner to decide the best protocol that he or or she would like to use for each patient. Some HCPs reported that when the patient is obese with age related metabolic risk factors, they suggest the three cycle protocol and then check in with patient to re-assess if health goals are reached. If yes, they change to 1 cycle every 3 months. If health goals are not reached, consider 1 cycle per month for the next 1-3 months, then reassess. If patient is not overweight, one cycle per 3 months are can be recommended for the weight benefits, metabolic balance support, and healthy aging.
