General Foundational Protocol for Chronic Digestive Disease
Total Protocol Duration: 12 weeks
Magnesium Synergy
1 to 2 scoops, twice per daily with or without food (mixes well with lemon water in the morning), week 1 to 4
Description: Balances pH, supports phase II detoxification (methylation, sulfation), enhances cellular and mitochondrial function.
Advanced B Complex or Pro B-Complex
1 to 3 capsules, once per day with food, week 2 to 4
Description:
- Any chronic digestive complaint increases the need for cellular regeneration and thus methylation processes. Methylation is also involved in detoxification, immunity, hormone balance and mood.
- Complete combination of highly bioavailable and active forms of B vitamins for cellular energy production, reduction of homocysteine and hormone balance.
Methylcobalamin or Pro Methylcobalamin
1 lozenge, once per day, week 3 to 4
Description: High dose of the active form of B12 to promote production of SAMe, increase energy and nerve regeneration.
Caution: Use of methylcobalamin in those with anxiety and slow COMT activity may increase catecholamine conversion and epinephrine concentrations. Consider hydroxycobalamin, or Tri-B12 Synergy, which contains adenosylcobalamin and hydroxycobalamin.

1 capsule, three times per day with food, week 5 to 12
