Can I start with S and go deeper later?

Yes. Many people begin with S or M and move to L or XL once they know the sequence suits them. The guide is the same at every level, so nothing you learn is wasted.

How long does the protocol take?

re:set® is a 24-hour protocol and be:liver® is a one-day protocol, each with its own preparation and aftercare. The included guide sequences them for you, with rest planned around both.

Do I do re:set® and be:liver® on the same day?

No. Prepare the gut first with re:set®, then support the liver with be:liver® afterwards, following the spacing in the guide. The order is the point of the protocol.

Why is Golden Shilajit only in XL?

Shilajit is the deepest mineral-rebuild tool in the range, a golden-grade resin taken as a daily ritual. It belongs to the complete XL experience, once the reset and support phases are already in place.

Can I buy the products separately instead?

Yes. Every component works alone and has its own product page. ikigen® adds the sequence, the guide and the saving: up to €143 at level XL against the same products at single prices.

Can I work during the protocol?

Choose quiet days for the protocol days, avoid intense training and allow time to rest. Many people run the protocol over a calm weekend.

What if ikigen® is not for me?

Every order carries the 30-day satisfaction guarantee, and orders over €140 ship free by 24-48h express. Write to us at hola@bionobo.com and our team will help.

Can I do ikigen® on medication, or while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Consult a qualified healthcare professional before beginning if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or manage a medical condition. Do not begin advanced protocols without time to rest.

Is ikigen® a medical treatment?

No. ikigen® is a sequenced system of food supplements and guided practices, a nutritional tool, not a treatment.

ikigen takes its name from the Japanese idea of the “source of life”: a return to the foundations from which vitality can rise again.

Created for those who want to experience the full potential of the Bionobo system, ikigen brings our core products together in one guided 48h whole-body ritual. Each stage prepares the way for the next, supporting the gut, liver and natural pathways of elimination.

ikigen path is designed to: mineralise, reset the gut, support the liver, and rebuild.

These stages can be experienced separately or brought together as one complete ritual. That’s why we created different levels, so you can choose how much of the journey feels right for you, while always following the same path back to balance.

Easy to prepare: no weeks of restrictive diets or complicated preparation. Just a few simple steps before you begin.
Follow the sequence: begin with the gut, then support the liver. Each stage prepares the way for the next.
Protect the 48 hours: clear your calendar, stay home and rest. This isn’t something to squeeze around normal life. Give yourself the space to go through it properly.
Rebuild beyond the protocol: this is a starting point, not the finish line. Return with cleaner food, better habits, daily movement, minerals and nourishment that support the way you want to live.

ikigen is not a two-day fix. It’s the first step upwards.

Lighter Digestion · Less heaviness and bloating. Meals feel easier and the body less weighed down.
Clearer, Fresher Feeling · Many people describe feeling less sluggish, less puffy and simply cleaner from within.
A Brighter Look · Clearer-looking eyes, fresher skin and a more rested appearance are some of the changes people may notice when digestion, hydration and daily habits improve.
Better Regularity · Support the body’s natural elimination rhythm and that unmistakable feeling of things moving again.
Natural Energy · Less of that heavy, post-meal drag. More steady energy to move, think and get back to your day.
Fresh From Within · Better digestion and food choices can change how fresh you feel overall, from your mouth and breath to body odour and skin.
A Renewed Foundation · The biggest benefit isn’t what happens during 48 hours. It’s what you do afterwards: eat cleaner, move more, nourish yourself better and build from there.

Not a medical treatment. Designed for generally healthy adults as a guided enzyme, botanical and mineral fasting protocol, not to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.
Follow the sequence. Preparation, timing and order are part of the protocol. Do not skip, rearrange or combine stages differently.
Medication & health conditions. If pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or managing a medical condition, consult your healthcare professional before starting.
Give yourself space. Choose a time when you can rest, hydrate and listen to your body, especially during the deeper stages.
Know when to stop. Discontinue the protocol and seek medical advice if you experience severe, unusual or persistent symptoms.

It often starts as a whisper.

How to recognise when your body needs support?

Modern living creates stagnation and your body was built for flow.

BLOATED & HEAVYMeals leave you feeling swollen, full or uncomfortable for longer than they should.
SKIN FEELS OFFDullness, breakouts or irritation seem to appear more often than they used to.
BREATH & BODY ODOURYou notice changes in breath or body odour even though your routine hasn’t changed.
FOODS DON’T LAND THE SAMEFoods you once ate easily now seem to leave you uncomfortable or reactive.
CRAVINGS FEEL LOUDERSugar, snacks or certain foods seem to be calling the shots more than you are.
TIRED & BRAIN FOGGYLow energy, cloudy thinking or that heavy feeling that often follows meals.
YOUR RHYTHM FEELS OFFDigestion feels slow, irregular or simply less predictable than it used to.
PUFFY & HOLDING ONYou wake up feeling puffy, swollen or like your body is holding onto more than usual.
ACHES & STIFFNESSYou wake feeling heavier, tighter or slower to get moving than you remember.
YOU JUST DON’T FEEL LIKE YOUNothing dramatic. You simply feel less clear, less energetic and further from your normal baseline.

the cleanising pathway

Your body’s own drainage funnel. What is it?

You wouldn’t mop a floor without water, or clean a house only to leave the rubbish inside. The body is no different. Mineralise first. Clear the gut. Then support the liver.

Your body already has its own pathways of elimination. Cleansing isn’t about forcing them. It’s about supporting them. With natural compounds that help nourish, carry, hydrate and mineralise, ikigen® is designed to support the body’s natural flow, step by step.

Like 7+ days fasting, in 48 hrs.

Prolonged fasts can take days to reach a deeply emptied state, as the digestive system clears residual food and fasting-related processes such as autophagy deepen. Fermented enzymes compress this journey into an intensive 48+ hour protocol.

You want to go deep. You just don’t have a week.

Gut-first orderGuide included

ANCIENT RITUALS, REIMAGINED.

You want to go deep. You just don’t have a week.

Longer fasts and juice cleanses can take days and require significant preparation. ikigen® combines fermented enzymes, gut cleansing, mineralisation and liver support into an intensive 48+ hour journey.

EASY TO BEGIN

No weeks of preparation.

A few simple adjustments beforehand, then set aside your 48+ hours and follow the guide.

GENTLE, YET DEEP

No harsh approach.

Fermented enzymes, botanicals and minerals work together in a natural, structured protocol that is gentle and easy to follow.

FEEL THE DIFFERENCE

Come back to yourself.

Feel lighter, clearer and renewed, with the energy and freshness that can come from giving your body space to reset.

ikigen - 5 products combined

One protocol. Your own rhythm.

You can experience the complete ritual in one 48+ hour immersion, split the phases across two weekends, or begin with the first phase and continue when the time feels right.

Everything you seek is already within.

Nothing changes if nothing changes

Inner alchemy is the process of letting go of what has accumulated to create space for what has always been there.

Transformation begins by releasing: old habits, stagnation, physical buildup and everything we’ve carried for too long.

A PRESENT TO YOUR FUTURE SELF.

We created the pathway. Gift yourself the time

01

Make time to truly slow down

The most important preparation is time. Choose days to fully disconnect, rest and turn inward. Reduce stimulants beforehand, especially alcohol and caffeine, so you arrive ready for the experience.

02

Prepare

Lighten the digestive load, hydrate deeply and mineralise. Read the guide, simplify your meals and create the right conditions before going deeper.

03

Run the protocol days

Follow the sequence: re:set® first, then be:liver® where included. Don't rush it. Rest, listen to your body and allow the protocol to do what it was designed to do.

04

Rebuild daily

Come back slowly. Reintroduce food consciously and continue with Kiwami®, Alcalina® and Shilajit. The protocol may end, but the ritual of supporting your body continues.

A FEW THINGS BEFORE YOU GO DEEP

Don't plan much after

Give yourself space after the protocol too. Coming back slowly is part of the experience.

Listen more, force less

This isn't a competition. Rest when you need to, hydrate, and let your body set the pace.

Keep your world quiet

Less screens, less stimulation, fewer obligations. Make those 48+ hours feel different from everyday life.

Make it a ritual

Journal, breathe, walk, meditate, sleep. Use the physical reset as an opportunity to reset more than just the body.

You've already made the time. Go all in on yourself.

The guide sequences everything. Every level includes the downloadable ikigen® protocol guide.

Not a magic detox. A structured system.

ikigen® is not a cure-all or a shortcut. It works best paired with a broader lifestyle, built on a few unglamorous foundations the guide keeps pointing you back to.
