Directions for Preparation and Use
 

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