We've tried & tested it

Before recommending any product, we research and test it ourselves. Our head nutritionist Pooja Vig, and her 74 year old mother Shashi has been on ProLon for 2 cycles now.

Pooja does it for overall balance and autophagy, while Shashi does it for healthy ageing, & to feel lighter as well as rejuvenated on the inside out.

**Please not that we are in no way affiliated with ProLon. We simply believe in the product.

4 Transformative benefits to the ProLon® Fasting Mimicking Diet

Positively affecting a wide range of markers that contribute to aging, including cholesterol, inflammation, and fasting blood glucose: your risk of disease, including cancer, will be reduced.

1 Healthy Ageing

2 Fat burning & Ketogenesis

It promotes

rejuvenation from within.
