Step 1 consists of BC-ATP, BioToxin Binder, CT-Minerals, and KL Support. BC-ATP assists the body with ATP production, while CT-Minerals support mental clarity, immune function, cellular repair, and detoxification. KL Support helps maintain kidney and liver function. BioToxin Binder assists in the body’s natural detoxification processes and supports the gut microbiome, which in turn aids healthy digestion. Formulated with BioActive Carbon Technology BioActive Carbon Technology is a proprietary blend of fulvic acids that support cellular repair and the body’s natural ability to detoxify. With a low pH, BioActive Carbon Technology also helps protect ingredients from being digested by stomach acid, so that they remain intact as they enter the desired location in the body. Since all of the supplements in this step support 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 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 half dose, it’s recommended for the patient to do the Comprehensive Protocol instead of the Foundational Protocol — as this suggests the body’s needs for support are greater.  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.  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.
