Enriched with vitamins, minerals and trace elements
Osmolality
(at 1 to 9 dilution): 820 mOsm/kg
Indications:
Tyrosinemia Type I
Tyrosinemia Type II (Richner-Hanhart
Syndrome)
Directions for Preparation and Use:
The amount of TYR 2 needed to
supplement total daily protein requirements (other than tyrosine
and phenylalanine) depends on age, body weight and individual
tolerance for tyrosine and phenylalanine. The dose of TYR
2 must be determined by a physician or dietitian and adjusted
periodically. Diets with TYR 2 must contain adequate amounts
of energy, essential fatty acids, tyrosine and phenylalanine
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, TYR
2 should be weighed on a gram scale.
