Will it make me gassy or bloated?Updated 6 months ago

Most users experience more energy, more regular bowel movements and clearer looking skin in the first week of using Broc Shot.  

A small percentage of users may experience gassiness, stomach discomfort or even mild headaches as their gut begins to normalize and the body begins to detox.  This can occur for two reasons - existing gut dysbiosis and highly efficient detoxification.  

Gut dysbiosis is an imbalance in the gut microbiome, the community of microorganisms living in your digestive tract. This imbalance can occur when harmful bacteria outnumber the beneficial ones. Factors like poor diet, stress, infections, medications (like antibiotics), or chronic health conditions can trigger dysbiosis.  

When introducing a potent source of sulforaphane, the sulforaphane begins to target specific pathogens without disrupting your beneficial gut bacteria.  This period can feel mildly disruptive, and your body may need time to adjust. This adjustment period varies from person to person.  Should you need an adjustment period, we recommend cutting your daily dose in ¼ or ½ for 3-7 days as your body makes the adjustment. Our sachet packaging allows you to easily use as much Broc Shot as you’d like, while saving the rest for the next day. 

In addition to addressing gut dysbiosis, most people have not used a highly efficient detoxification support like sulforaphane.  When sulforaphane begins its removal of toxins and chemicals this can trigger some discomfort such as headaches.  This can feel similar to when someone stops caffeine or sugar.  The best recourse for this is to also reduce the dose of Broc Shot to ¼ or ½ to allow the detoxification process to occur more gradually.
