What is ProLon®?
ProLon® is a 5-day Fasting Mimicking Diet™ that nourishes your body while supporting overall health.
Studies have shown that fasting can have a positive effect on a number of health-related issues.
ProLon removes the need for water-only fasting, while responding to the unmet need of providing an accessible, proven and safe dietary programme that does not require ongoing lifestyle changes, such as long-term dieting.
Whole Food Meals
ProLon® meals come in 5 small boxes (one for each day) that include mostly plant-based energy bars, soups, a variety of snacks, drinks and supplements, all studied and carefully designed to nourish your body and promote positive changes.
Plant Based Ingredients
ProLon ingredients are mostly plant-based* and do not contain any additives, preservatives** or chemicals.
*ProLon® contains honey and bovine gelatin.
**ProLon® energy drink contains the natural preservative polylysine.

Scientific Studies
Over 20 years of extensive preclinical and clinical studies sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and conducted at the Longevity Institute and Diabetes and Obesity Research Institute of the University of Southern California (USC) resulted in the development of the first FMD® (ProLon®) which:
- Doctors recommend as a 5-day intervention to help lose weight*, support healthy metabolic balance and rejuvenation from within.
- Triggers autophagy for the clean up of worn out cells.
- Helps target visceral fat for a trimmer waistline.
* In a clinical study, ProLon is shown over three cycles to help individuals lose an average of 5.7 lbs and 1.6 inches off their waist circumference.
Clinical Study Methodology
Randomised controlled trial of 100 subjects, 71 completed 3 cycles of the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD™) either in a randomised phase (N=39) or after being crossed over from a control diet group to the FMD™ group (N=32). Control subjects continued their normal diet. Participants consumed the FMD™ for 5 consecutive days per month for 3 months. Measurements were performed prior to the diet (Before) and during the recovery period after the 3rd cycle (After).
