Directions for Preparation and Use

The Phlexy-10 products must be consumed in conjunction with natural protein, fluid and other nutrients in quantities prescribed by a physician or dietitian to meet phenylalanine and general nutrition requirements. Fat, carbohydrate and low protein sources may be used to supply needed calories and to fulfill essential fatty acid requirements.

Intake of the Phlexy-10 products will vary depending on the age, body weight and medical condition of the individual. Intake is adjusted to maintain normal growth and development. One packet of the drink mix and 20 capsules provide 10 g of amino acids, equivalent to 8.33 g of protein.

The Phlexy-10 products do not contain vitamins, minerals, or trace elements. It is essential that these nutrients are supplied separately. Phlexy-Vits are available to be used as a supplement to the Phlexy-10 System. One 7 g packet supplies the majority of vitamins and minerals needed to meet the RDA of individuals 11 years and older.
