The path to discovery — the life changing power of cellular & metabolic rejuvenation.
The Fasting Mimicking Nutrition Technology is at the core of the health benefits of Prolon products. This precision nutrition formulation nourishes the body while keeping its metabolism and cells in fasting mode and therefore harvesting the health benefits of fasting while eating plant based, clean, premium nutrition.
The Fasting Mimicking Nutrition was developed at the Longevity Institute of the University of Southern California and at L-Nutra Inc. by a global team of Longevity experts led by Professor Valter Longo (TIME Top 50 Most Influential People in Health).
Prolon's Fasting Mimicking Nutrition is now tested independently in over 32 human trials conducted at 18 university research centers such as Stanford, Mayo Clinic, University of Miami, University of Indiana, University of Genoa, Leiden University, Heidelberg University, University of Palermo and many others, for applications in longevity, prevention and disease remission (Diabetes, Cancer, Cardiovascular, Inflammation and others). These studies have helped tremendously in furthering Prolon's leadership in Nutrition for Longevity and Food as Medicine and have demonstrated major life changing benefits. Most of these trials include a protocol 3 to 6 Prolon 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet per year.
