General Questions

  • I take so many supplements, and I'm not even sure if they work since I take so many at the same time. I don't have time to take 30 pills, six times a day. What are the most important supplements in the Root Cause Reset list?
  • I took S. Boulardii last night for the first time, and I had to run to the bathroom this morning. Is that good or bad?
  • I used 23&Me to determine if I have MTHFR. It appears I do; I am homozygous for a variant. I haven’t started the supplements yet, as I read that maybe I should not take the MTHFR Pathways. Is that true?
  • I would like to do as much of the liver detox as possible. I have Addison's and take Hydrocortisone, Fludrocortisone and DHEA as well as Rituxan infusions and GERD meds. I also take NAC and magnesium. Can I take the Reset supplements?
  • If I decide to introduce supplements one at a time, which ones would you say are the most beneficial?
  • If we can just have a few liver supplements, which are the top 2-3 to use ?
  • Is the MTHFR Pathways supplement effective for those who have the gene mutation?
  • Is there a way for people waiting for supplements to arrive, to start the program when they do arrive?
  • I’ll be introducing supplements slowly. Can I skip taking Complex B Plus when having Liver Reset with the consideration of various B vitamins being covered? Is it less effective if we are taking less of a dose to start?
  • I’m currently breastfeeding and was wondering if there is anything I should be doing differently while doing this Reset? Are there supplements that are ok to take while nursing? I also find myself so hungry! I think I need more carbs.
  • I’m on a budget. What are the most important supplements to take throughout the program?
  • I’ve noticed that the Liver Reset and Magnesium powder have "natural flavors". Due to the importance of knowing what we're ingesting, would you consider alternative ingredients that offer more transparency?
  • I’ve ordered the Liver & Gallbladder Support from Rootcology. Can I start taking it at this stage?
  • My VegeCleanse just arrived late. Can I just start taking it now, one scoop for 1 week, and 2 scoops the second week? I have been taking the amino acids and the liver and gallbladder support. Can I continue these too?
  • My VegeCleanse will be arriving later than the other supplements. Is it ok to start with all the others first and take VegeCleanse at some point afterwards when it finally arrives?
  • Should I expect to feel better or worse while on supplements? And if I feel worse, should I power through it? Obviously, if they make me really ill I assume I should stop. Any thoughts?
  • Should I space out my supplement dosages by a minimum amount of hours?
  • Should the Liver & Gallbladder Support be taken right before the meal, in the middle of the meal or immediately after the meal?
  • Since beginning the supplements this week, I have noticed a change in the color of my urine. It has turned a very bright (almost neon/fluorescent) greenish yellow. I have no discomfort or other reactions. Should I be concerned?
  • The Rootcology Amino Support says it’s free of herbals, minerals, and B vitamins to avoid upregulation of phase one. But the MTHFR Pathways also contains B vitamins. Will taking these together prevent the upregulation of phase one?
  • What are the benefits of Liver and Gallbladder Support for people with gallbladder removed on top of providing ox bile? Will there be any side effects when taking it for the long term?
  • What do you think about using castor oil packs once a month, to help detox?
  • What is the difference between the Pure Encapsulations Nutrient 950 and Pure Encapsulations Nutrient 950 with vitamin K? Why should I take one or the other?
  • What is the mapping of each supplement in the Liver Support Kit with the respective liver phase I and II detoxification pathways? It would be helpful for us to understand further the positioning of each supplement in the liver detox context.
  • What supplements do you recommend for people whose gallbladders have been removed?
  • What supplements do you recommend for people whose gallbladders have been removed? Are there any foods that I should eat to help?
  • What supplements do you take on a regular basis throughout the year?
  • When do I start the supplements?
  • When should I take my thyroid medication?
  • Which liver detoxification pathway(s) are related to breaking down estrogen and eliminating it from the body? Which supplement(s) would be most useful to support this process?
