A small percentage of users report mild stomach discomfort when they first start taking NOVOS Core (less than 3%) or NOVOS Vital (less than 1%). This is normal when introducing new nutrients, your microbiome and digestive system may need a short adjustment period.
If this happens, we recommend the following:
- Always take NOVOS Core and NOVOS Vital with or after a meal.
- Take them separately. Try taking NOVOS Vital at a different time of day from NOVOS Core.
- Split your NOVOS Core dose. Mix half (or one-third) of a sachet with each meal, or pour the full sachet into a large glass (24+ oz) and sip throughout the day.
- Dilute it more. Mix NOVOS Core with 16–24 ounces of water instead of 8 ounces for a lighter taste and easier digestion.
- Try a different version. Some customers who experience discomfort with the Orange Flavor find the Unflavored or Tropical Passion versions gentler on the stomach.
In most cases, these symptoms resolve within a few weeks as your body adjusts. If discomfort persists, please reach out to our Customer Care team at care@novoslabs.com — we’re happy to help you find the best way to take NOVOS for your body.
