Re: Xyloda protocol

The dosage and duration can be adjusted as needed to help with side effects. I was on 3000 mg/daily for two weeks with one week off but recently adjusted to a two week off period. I'm finding that my body likes this much better and my GI system, feet and hands have time to fully recover before the next cycle.

Wishing all the best for your DIL!
