What is Prolon?
Prolon is a complete 5-day fasting-mimicking diet kit containing all of the foods in specific amounts you need to:
Prolon was developed by Professor Valter Longo, Director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California. In his book, The Longevity Diet, Longo shares how the course of his life and his following of what he calls "5 Pillars of Longevity" inspired and guided him to discover the guidelines of the Longevity Diet and create the Prolon FMD 5-day kit. The 5 Pillars are basic research on the science of longevity, epidemiological research about longevity, clinical studies on humans, focused epidemiological studies on centenarians, and viewing the human body as a complex and whole system rather than only as isolated parts. The guidelines of the Longevity Diet and the Prolon kit pass the criteria of all 5 Pillars.
Longo designed Prolon with healthy longevity in mind. In a clinical trial with 100 participants, 71 of whom completed the full trial, which included following the 5-day Prolon kit once per month for three consecutive months, and ate their regular diet the rest of the time. The study showed that participants:
- achieve a physiologic state that mimics fasting in several key ways
- preserve your lean body mass at the same time
- support healthy longevity by reducing the processes that age your cells
