Metabolic Balance is the new name of Para Reset (which was the new name of NAC-Berberine, excuse the confusion…).

Do you suffer from recurring intestinal complaints, Giardia or a intestine that just won’t recover? Metabolic Balance helps to thoroughly cleanse the intestine by breaking the protective layer of stubborn bacteria and parasites, so that the body regains control over them.

Supports parasites (Giardia), yeasts (Candida), fungi and biofilm
Helps liver and intestines detoxify pathogenic waste
Broad antimicrobial action and microbiome support
Suitable for dogs and cats, as a separate supplement or in protocols

Description

QUICK SUMMARY

This supplement helps with: recurrent Giardia, persistent intestinal infections, SIBO, dysbiosis and a gut that does not recover despite treatment.

How does Metabolic balance work?

Harmful bacteria, parasites and yeasts hide in the intestine behind a protective layer called biofilm . Conventional treatments have a hard time getting through this, which explains why infections keep recurring. Metabolic Balance (formerly Para Reset) breaks through that layer with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) so that the intestine finally becomes accessible for recovery.
Berberine then tackles the released pathogens in a selective way: it inhibits harmful microorganisms but spares the good intestinal flora as much as possible. That’s the big difference with broadband antibiotics that kill everything, including what you need. In addition to ‘regular’ berberine, we have added Liposomal berberine to the formula. As a result, berberine is better absorbed into the tissues and can also provide an important supporting effect next to the intestines.
Metabolic Balance is the first step in a broader colon cleansing. It works best as part of a protocol that also restores the intestinal wall and builds the microbiome. But Metabolic Balance has become a much broader supplement due to liposomal processing. The liposomal berberine also tackles intracellular bacteria, and has a positive effect on metabolism and sugar metabolism.

What does this supplement do?

Helps with recurrent Giardia and stubborn intestinal infections
Breaks the protective layer of harmful bacteria and parasites
Supports the recovery of the liver and intestinal wall after infection
Selective: spares the good intestinal flora as much as possible
Widely applicable for SIBO, dysbiosis and chronic diarrhea

When do you see results?

PMetabolic Balance works in two phases: first biofilm degradation, then pathogen elimination. From a systems biology point of view, the intestine can temporarily cause more complaints during the cleansing phase before it gets better. That’s normal and a sign that it’s working.

Week 1-2

NAC is starting to break through biofilm. Temporary increase in flatulence or soft stools may occur. This is normal and disappears.

Week 2-4

Berberine tackles the released pathogens. Fewer abdominal complaints, firmer stools, calmer intestines.

Week 4-8

Clearly fewer recurring complaints. More energy. Now is the time to start bowel recovery via L-Glutamine and Gut Barrier Support.

Month 2+

Moving on to the build-up phase of the Bowel Protocol. Para Reset is a cleansing supplement, not a maintenance supplement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How fast does Metabolic Balance work?

In the first week, the biofilm breakdown may temporarily cause slight flatulence or softer stools due to the release of toxins — this is normal. From weeks 2 to 4, berberine tackles the released pathogens, with a clear decrease in symptoms after 4 to 8 weeks.

Is Metabolic Balance also suitable for Giardia?

Yes. Para Reset is a phase 1 component of the Giardia protocol: NAC breaks through the biofilm in which Giardia hides, after which berberine selectively targets the parasites.

What is the difference between berberine and antibiotics?

Antibiotics often kill broad-spectrum, including good gut flora. Berberine works more selectively: it inhibits harmful microorganisms but spares the good bacteria as much as possible, which facilitates the recovery of the microbiome afterwards.

Can I use Metabolic balance separately, without the rest of the process?

That is not recommended. Metabolic Balance breaks through the protective layer and tackles pathogens, but the intestinal wall still has to recover and the microbiome has to be rebuilt afterwards. Without follow-up steps such as L-Glutamine and Prebiotic Fibers, the risk of relapse is high.

Comparison based on common colon cleansing supplements for dogs and cats on the Dutch market.

Part of a protocol

Para Reset is a phase 1 component of the Giardia Protocol and Intracellular Microbe Protocol. Without breaking through biofilm, other supplements and treatments do not reach the gut well enough.

Works well with

Para Reset cleanses the intestine. The supplements below restore and rebuild what is needed next.

L-Glutamine

After the cleansing phase with Para Reset, intestinal wall repair is the next priority. L-Glutamine is the fuel for the intestinal cells that have to repair the damaged wall. The logical next step in the Bowel Protocol.

Prebiotic Fibers

After clearing pathogens with Para Reset, the space should be filled with good bacteria. Prebiotic Fibers feeds those good bacteria so that they occupy the emptied area.

Liposomal Curcumin

During biofilm breakdown, inflammatory substances are released. Curcumin inhibits the inflammatory response that occurs via NF-kB. Together for a calmer cleaning process with fewer side effects.

Liposomal Glutathione

Biofilm breakdown exposes toxins that the liver has to process. Glutathione supports the liver in this detoxification and protects liver cells from oxidative damage during the cleansing phase.
