I first bought the Detox Box, and purchased all the suggested supplements.

Then I read the USD book was finally able to download the UltraSimple Diet

Guide, which recommends differents brands/supplements. I want to do this

program the best I can, so I don't want to mess up and use the wrong

supplements. Can anyone please tell me if what I bought is okay for the

UltraSimple Diet or if I need to go back and purchase something else? Thank

you.

1) Box recommends ENDEFEN (Metagenics) but guide says HERBULK (Metagenics).

I am assuming that Endefen is a type of fiber/flax and I use that instead of

ground flax seeds? Is this product ENDEFEN okay or should I get the Herbulk?

or go with plain flax seeds?

2) Box recommends ULTRACLEAR PLUS (Metagenics) for the Rice Protein Powder

but the USD Guide suggests UltraInflamX. Is what I have (ultraclear plus)

okay?

3) Box recommends Psyllium Husks but I don't see that on the USD - Do I

need them? What are they for ?

4) Box recommeded ULTRAFLOR PLUS DF (Metagenics) for the probiotics, but

the USD Guide says LACTOFLAMX Capsules (Metagenics). Can I use the

UltraFlora plus?

I am confused.I figure that what I bought must be okay if it is recommended,

but then why is it different from what is in the guide?

Please let me know if the box recomeedations are acceptable for the USD. I

couldn't open the guide until I had purchased the supplements and didn't

realize there were so many discrepancies.

Thank you for your time. I am starting the USD in 6 days and am already

confused. If you have any advice/suggestions I would appreciate it. Thank

you!

I'm pretty sure what's happened here is the evolution of the USD - Dr. Hyman said (I ordered the meals) that he even added a protein to lunch for the people ordering the meals, because he didn't want people to get hungry since we are only eating what has been sent to us.   I think that he's tweaking the program all the time, and you are probably fine on the ones you bought, and when those run out, you can get his updated recommendations, but they should be ok for your first month (or however long they last).  I ordered the supplements with the food, and the ones I got are all the Metagenics brand.  I think that he's finding sources as he does his research, and also is finding places who are willing to manufacture things to his specifications.

I hope this helps ease your mind, and good luck!

Hi, Swimmerin -

Congratulations on undertaking to do the DetoxBox/UltraSimple.  I'm looking forward to an answer to your question from the resident nutritionist, Kathie, because I did the Detox Box a year or two ago, before the UlstraSimple program came out, and I purchased and used the Detox Box-recommended supplements and felt really good about all of them and still do, and I agree with the other person who wrote that you're probably fine with them.

I think Dr. Hyman is constantly refining the program, including trying to make it as easy as possible for people to obtain supplements, and that may partly explain some changes, plus obviously new things are being formulated by companies all the time and may be more applicable now than the ones we got with Detox Box, but not making the earlier ones ineffective.  

I know you're looking for an official answer, especially since you referenced some specific supplements, and I'll be interested in the answer also, because I'm in the process of deciding what to do next, as I've gone back to some old habits and don't feel as well as I did when following Dr. Hyman's recommendations!

Thanks for your question.Smile

Joy.

This is general medical information only. For analysis, diagnosis and prescriptions, consult your doctor or other medical professional.

 Dr Hyman continues to refine his protocols and may use new products that we have found good results with patients in our practice (ex. Lactoflamx)  I would suggest that you start the USD as planned, using the products that you purchased. For example, the UltraFlora DF is also an excellent probiotic.

 I recommend that you use the 3 day rule, introducing only one supplement at a time allowing 3 days between additions to ensure that you tolerate them ok.  When you finish your program using the products you purchased, if you desire a personalized approach, please call our office at 413-637-9991 and schedule a nutrition consultation and one of our nutritionists will guide you further.
