Your Supplement
RAAD-7 — Acai Berry
Take RAAD-7 every day. It provides select amino acids to protect muscle while your body eliminates Cysteine and Methionine.
When to take it
Every day for all 7 days — take it in the morning, same time each day.
Why it matters
Without amino acids, a protein-free diet risks muscle loss. RAAD-7 provides what your body needs to preserve muscle while the reset happens.
What to avoid
No other protein supplements, collagen, or whey. These interfere with CysMet elimination.
How to take it
Mix one scoop into 8 oz of water and drink.
