Directions for Preparation and Use
 

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