Product FAQs

1. Can the supplements in Phase 4B cause or worsen existing symptoms?

Since all of the supplements in this phase promote the body’s natural detoxification processes, 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 a patient 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. 

2. 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.

3. Do the supplements have to be taken with food, or can they be taken without?

Advanced TUDCA should be taken with food. All of the other supplements in this phase are recommended to take between meals for maximum potency, except CT-Biotic, which should be taken with food. However, if patients are sensitive to any of the other supplements, they can take them with meals.

4. What’s the difference between the Comprehensive Protocol and the Foundational Protocol?

The Comprehensive Protocol is an in-depth approach to supporting detoxification, intended for those who are looking to address their health at the root level and require increased immune and gut support.* Completing the protocol over a prolonged period (9+ months) provides the body with sufficient time (and nutrients) to promote system balance through detoxification.*

The Foundational Protocol is a shorter, four-month approach to supporting detoxification.* It’s intended for individuals who are looking to periodically promote cleansing for an overall wellness boost.* It also helps to balance the gut microbiome, increase energy levels, and optimize digestive and immune health  —  but is not as extensive as the Comprehensive Protocol, which covers more specific areas of health.*

5. Why are there two components to Phase 4 (Phase 4A and Phase 4B)?

To accommodate the appropriate timeline and dosing for Para 4, which should only be taken for a maximum of two months at a time. This is why Para 4 is included in Phase 4A for two months, and removed from Phase 4B. Both components of Phase 4 achieve the same goal, which is to promote systemic detoxification.*

6. What’s the standard 9-month Comprehensive Protocol timeline?

The standard Comprehensive Protocol 9-month timeline is to take Phase 1 for month 1. Take Phase 2 for months 2 to 3. Take Phase 3 for months 4 to 5. Take Phase 4A for months 6 to 7. Take Phase 4B for months 8 to 9. Take Phase 5 starting in month 8.

7. What is Prop 65?

Prop 65 is a California law that companies doing business in the state of California are required to follow. The law mandates companies place warning labels on any products with heavy metals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm.

Here’s What This Label Doesn’t Tell You:

• Trace amounts of heavy metals are found naturally in the soil. If a product is organic, it will contain trace amounts of heavy metals.
• Prop 65 places limits on all heavy metals — regardless if they are organic or inorganic. Prop 65’s limits are far below normal standards.

What Does Prop 65 Mean for You?

If you see any of CellCore Biosciences products with a Prop 65 sticker, there’s no need to panic.

Prop 65 tests far below normal standards and CellCore Biosciences does stringent testing on all their products.

CellCore Biosciences promise to you are solutions that work. CellCore Biosciences knows how important clean, safe ingredients and final products are to you and your health. CellCore Biosciences wouldn’t sell products they aren’t confident to take themselves and give to their families.

8. I heard that your Carbon Technology and other supplements have a Prop65 Warning Label and contain heavy metals (specifically lead). Is this true?

Yes, the fulvic and humic acid extracts used to formulate Carbon Technology naturally contain organic, non-toxic heavy metals within safe limits.

These heavy metals are different from the toxic, inorganic man-made form of heavy metals that are damaging to health. Unfortunately, the Prop65 warning label in the state of California does not distinguish between organic (beneficial) and inorganic (toxic) heavy metals.

Organic heavy metals — such as lead, iron, and zinc — occur naturally in soil. This is where the fulvic and humic acids in Carbon Technology are derived from.

Organic heavy metals are actually beneficial to your health in small amounts and are not considered toxic because whatever excess your body cannot use it easily eliminates. On the other hand, inorganic, man-made heavy metals build up in cells and tissues and can cause health problems.

Testing for Heavy Metals in CellCore Biosciences Supplements

All of the CellCore Biosciences supplements go through rigorous third party independent testing for the top heavy metals of concern: arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury.

The United States Pharmacopeia — a group that verifies supplement quality — has suggested the following limits for heavy metals in supplements:

Arsenic: 3 parts per million (ppm)

Cadmium: 3 ppm

Lead: 10 ppm

Mercury: 3 ppm

A recent test of CellCore Biosciences' ViRadChem Binder showed it had 0.216 ppm of mercury. This means that for every million particles tested, only 0.2 of them were mercury. This is a very small amount in comparison to the above suggested limit.

For CellCore Biosciences own standards, if any of their products contain more than 5 ppm of lead (half of the suggested limit), they reject the lot and will not make the item available to you.
