Frequently Asked Questions
For your dosage of Microgard, start with ten pellets three times a day. To measure, fill the cap with a single layer of pellets – that's roughly 10. The recommended range is between 5 to 25 pellets per dose. If you're sensitive or new to Microgard, begin with 5 pellets and gradually increase to a larger dose as needed.
Microgard, made with natural ingredients, may initially cause increased burping and changes in bowel movements. These effects typically last for one to two weeks and then stabilize as your gut adjusts. If you experience concerns, either reduce the dosage or temporarily stop taking Microgard.
Individual experiences may vary. Most people notice improvements in digestion within one to two weeks. For the best results, consistent use for three months is recommended.
Microgard is designed for adults. Consult a pediatrician before considering it for children, as each case is unique and may require adjusted dosages. Most often, a decreased dose of 1-5 pellets is safe and effective with healthy children.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's close to your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Avoid doubling up.
A temporary increase in symptoms can occur as your microbiome adjusts. In such cases, reduce the dosage or pause until you feel better and restart at a smaller dose if necessary.
Microgard aims to balance gut bacteria by controlling bad bacteria and increasing good bacteria. It enhances digestive juices and intestinal motility, aiding in the repair and growth of beneficial bacteria.
While primarily for gut health, Microgard may indirectly contribute to fat loss when combined with a balanced diet and exercise.
The bottle contains 18 grams of herbs. When weighed, it measures approximately 19 grams. The pills are very tiny, BB gun pellet-sized. There are approximately 60 pills per 1 gram. Using conservative numbers, you get approximately 1,000 pills in a bottle. The most common dosage is 10 pills 3 times a day, which would provide enough herbs for one month. This has been my experience as well.
