Directions for Preparation and Use
 

The amount of HOM 2 needed to supplement total daily protein requirements (other than methionine) depends on age, body weight and individual methionine tolerance. The dose of HOM 2 must be determined by a physician or dietitian and adjusted periodically. Diets with HOM 2 must contain adequate amounts of energy, essential fatty acids and methionine 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, HOM 2 should be weighed on a gram scale.
