View DetailsFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q1. How long does it take to see effects from drinking gut-healthy juice?
- Results vary by individual, but with daily consumption, improvement in bowel movements can be seen in 1-2 weeks, and changes in gut flora in 1-3 months. Prune & Apple juice often shows immediate effects, with many experiencing results the morning after consumption. Consistency is key.
- Q2. Can I add chia seeds directly without preparation?
- Yes, the PC-2105's 850W power can blend chia seeds. However, since chia seeds absorb water and expand, it's recommended to drink the juice immediately after making it. If left for a while, it will become gel-like (though it may be harder to drink, its nutritional value remains the same).
- Q3. If constipation is severe, can juice alone improve it?
- For mild to moderate constipation, gut-healthy juice combined with adequate water intake (1.5-2L per day) and moderate exercise can often lead to improvement. If there's no improvement after two weeks, or if accompanied by abdominal pain or bloody stools, please consult a doctor.
