Phase II of the Intestinal Cleansing: Targeted rebuilding of the gut flora

Optimal supplement after the first phase of intestinal cleansing with Bioprophyl

If the first phase of the intestinal cleanse was a kind of clearing out, then the second phase is the conscious rebuilding. It is the step that is often underestimated – yet it makes the decisive difference for long-term stability in the gut.

Now it’s about what remains after the relief: Which bacteria settle? What conditions prevail? Will the balance be sustainably strengthened, or is there a risk of relapse into old patterns?

The second phase is exactly for this: to gently and purposefully promote the microbiome – through probiotic cultures, plant-based companions, and prebiotic fibers.

Everything you need to know about the first phase of gut cleansing can be found in our magazine article Targeted Cleansing: Phase 1 of the Gut Regimen.

Why a second phase may even be necessary

Many people start a gut cleanse to free themselves from bloating, fullness, or irregularities. Cleansing alone can provide rapid relief. But true balance may only arise through targeted rebuilding – comparable to planting new seeds in freshly tilled soil.

Because:

• After cleansing, microbial colonization in the gut is often sensitive
• Without targeted impulses, the balance could develop one-sidedly
• Probiotic cultures and prebiotic fibers can help promote diversity

A strong rebuilding of the gut flora therefore not only means a better gut feeling but can – in combination with conscious nutrition – also support the immune system, which is closely connected with the gut barrier.

What happens in the gut after cleansing?

After the first phase, the digestive tract is usually relieved, bowel movements are easier, and peristalsis is moving again. But the natural diversity of gut bacteria is often not yet fully restored.

Various factors make rebuilding difficult:

• Antibiotics, stress, sugar & processed foods may have reduced bacterial diversity
• The pH level in the gut may still be unbalanced
• The body needs targeted nutrients and impulses for stabilization

A second phase can address this: with live cultures (probiotics) that can colonize the gut, and with fibers (prebiotics) that serve as their nutrient base.

Further information on these topics can be found in our magazine, such as the article on probiotics or on fibers.

Natural support for the gut flora with diverse bacterial strains

The decision for gastro-resistant capsules in Phase II-A is deliberate. Because:

• They enable targeted release in the colon, where many lactic acid and bifidobacteria naturally occur.
• The included strains were selected because studies show they are particularly resilient and capable of colonization.
• The capsules are neutral in taste, easy to dose, and contain no additives such as separating agents, coloring, or preservatives.

The combination of scientifically studied strains, a measured concentration of 10 billion CFU per day, and a gentle carrier medium (L-glutamine) results in a product that integrates harmoniously into gut rebuilding.

Precise dosage and easy intake

🟣 Phase II-A – Probiotic cultures

• 10 lactic acid and bifidobacteria strains (including L. acidophilus, L. rhamnosus, B. bifidum)
• 2 capsules daily (5 billion CFU per capsule)
• With L-glutamine as carrier
• Free from lactose, coloring, and preservatives
• Net content: 60 capsules = 30 days

🟡 Phase II-B – Prebiotic support

• With resistant starch, inulin, apple pectin, rosehip, artichoke, and blueberry
• 1–2 measuring spoons daily in water, yogurt, etc.
• Net content: 120 g powder

The combination can help promote microbial balance and support long-term gut harmony.

How long does the second phase last – and what can it do?

The rebuilding phase ideally lasts four weeks. During this time, there is no cleansing but targeted strengthening. Many users report – subjectively – about:

• More regular bowel movements
• Less bloating sensations
• More inner calm and balance

Whether these changes can be attributed to the microbiota cannot be clearly determined – but the feeling of a “new balance” is often described.

Intake, everyday life & tips

• 2 capsules daily (morning and evening)
• 1–2 measuring spoons of powder per day
• Drink enough water (at least 30 ml/kg body weight)
• For sensitive digestion, start slowly

Frequently asked questions about the second phase

Do I have to take both products?

Not necessarily – but recommended. Both components complement each other meaningfully.

What if I interrupt?

You can restart at any time.

May I take it for longer than 4 weeks?

Yes – the products are also well tolerated over longer periods.

Conclusion: Phase II as foundation

Gut cleansing does not end with cleansing – it begins there. The second phase supports the development of a stable, resilient microbiome with targeted cultures and plant-based companions.
