The amount of MSUD 2 needed
to supplement total daily protein requirements (other than
isoleucine, leucine and valine) depends on age, body weight
and individual tolerance for isoleucine, leucine, and valine.
The dose of MSUD 2 must be determined by
a physician or dietitian and adjusted periodically. Diets
with MSUD 2 must contain adequate amounts of energy, essential
fatty acids, isoleucine, leucine and valine to meet daily
requirements.
The daily amount required should be divided
into 3 to 5 single portions and can be taken mixed with calculated
amounts of other food (e.g. beverages, fruit mousse). For
accuracy, MSUD
2 should be weighed on a gram scale.
