Are there any expected reactions with Bio-Heal 5-in-1?Updated a year ago

With any type of alteration to the microbiome, such as Bio-Heal 5-in-1, an adjustment period might be experienced, though this is not the case for everyone. The symptoms you are describing might be indicative of what is known as a temporary Herxheimer Reaction (Die-Off). 

As Bio-Heal works to repair the intestinal lining, particular bacteria and yeast are effectively crowded out, leading to their demise. Endotoxin is then released as a result of this process, which may cause the user to feel initially worse. 

Symptoms may include, but are not limited to: fatigue, brain fog, nausea, gas, bloating, diarrhea or constipation, low-grade fever, headache, sore throat, body itch, muscle and joint soreness, pain, flu-like symptoms and hyperactivity or irritability.

In order to reduce the amount of time needed for healing, it is important to be consistent with the taking of Bio-Heal. To help facilitate this process, increasing water intake and a decrease in the serving size (cut in half) may prove incredibly beneficial.  You can slowly work back up to the recommended serving size over the course of a few weeks.

In most cases, the Herx Reaction should improve within anywhere from 2-3 days up to a maximum of 2 weeks. Please do remember to consult your physician for further assistance.

Here are some things that you can do at home to help ease some symptoms of a die-off reaction:
