| Question | Answer |
| What is Revitalize? | Revitalize is a probiotic blend that can help support the digestive tract and help maintain gut health. Revitalize contains 3 billion CFU's Bacillus coagulans per serving. |
| What is Optimize? | Optimize is a proprietary blend of enzymes and Camu-Camu that help with digestion of carbohydrates, protein, and fat. |
| Why does the label on my supplements say The 4 Week Protocol? | Although the Revitalize and Optimize labels say “The 4 Week Protocol” in Canada, you can rest assured that the formulas are the same as the supplements offered in the US. |
| Do I need to use supplements to get results from this program? | While the supplements were designed to work in conjunction with The 4 Week Gut Protocol to help support optimal digestive function and health, Revitalize and Optimize are not required when doing The 4 Week Gut Protocol. |
Do I need to take both supplements – could I just use Optimize or Revitalize? | Each is a unique formula that provides different benefits. Revitalize is a prebiotic and probiotic blend that helps support gut health and a healthy microbiome while Optimize is a proprietary blend of enzymes that help with the digestion of carbohydrates, protein, and fat. |
| Why are these supplements not sold separately? | These two supplements have been bundled together especially for duration and recommended use with The 4 Week Gut Protocol to help enhance your results while on the program. |
| Are the supplements available outside of the US? | The 4 Week Protocol Revitalize and Optimize is now available in Canada! For locales outside of the US and Canada, please see below for recommendations if Optimize and Revitalize are not available in your locale: Revitalize: A probiotic supplement with at least 3 billion CFUs of Bacillus coagulans. |
| When should I take Optimize? | Take 2 capsules, 3 times a day, 30 minutes before meals. |
| When should I take Revitalize? | Take 1 capsule, once a day, 30 minutes before a meal (preferably in the morning before breakfast). |
| Are these supplements the same as Ultimate Reset Optimize and Revitalize? | The ingredients and formulation of Optimize and Revitalize are the same for both Ultimate Reset and The Gut Protocol. Due to the difference in both serving size and length of program, the number of capsules you receive will be different between Ultimate Reset and The Gut Protocol. |
| Can I continue taking Revitalize and Optimize after the initial 4 weeks of the program? | Yes, you can continue to take Revitalize and Optimize as part of your daily routine. |
| What other BODi supplements are allowed while doing The 4 Week Gut Protocol program? | Please refer to the chart below. |
| Why is Plant-Based Vegan Shakeology part of the Gut Protocol? | You’ll remove a wide variety of foods from your diet over the next month. The Gut Protocol meal plan will fill most of those gaps, but it’s still smart to have a nutrient-dense daily safety net like Shakeology to help meet your needs. That said, if you still encounter stomach issues drinking Shakeology, you might consider taking a break from Shakeology during the Gut Protocol. |
| How come Plant-Based Vegan Shakeology is still allowed even though it contains added sugar? | Sugar, even added sugar, is a nutrient. It’s generally only a problem when you consume too much of it in nutrient-void foods. A serving of Shakeology contains less sugar (7g, with 5g being added sugar) than an apple (19g). It balances that sugar with countless other nutrients—including fiber and protein, which slow down absorption, keeping it low on the glycemic index, as well as assuring that it supports a healthy gut. |
| Are Optimize and Revitalize gluten-free? | Optimize and Revitalize are not formulated with any gluten-based ingredients (such as wheat or barley), but the finished product has not been tested and confirmed to be gluten-free. |
| Do Optimize and Revitalize use veggie capsules? | Yes. Both Optimize and Revitalize use veggie capsules composed of vegetable cellulose. |
| Were other nutrition experts or medical professionals consulted in the creation of the Gut Protocol? | BODi’s nutritional offerings cast a wide net. In general, they stop short of being highly clinical, in favor of a “mass appeal“ approach. We are not trying to replace the in-depth scrutiny that you might get from direct nutritional or medical advice. That said, Autumn sought the guidance of BODi’s Registered Dietitians and other nutrition staff, in addition to external experts, when creating the Gut Protocol. She also tested the program—including the use of Plant-Based Vegan Shakeology, probiotics, and digestive enzymes—on a group of over 5000 people and the results really were stunning. |
