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.
