Directions for Preparation and Use
 

Intake to be determined by a medical professional and is dependent on age, body weight and medical condition of the patient.

Use under medical supervision.  Not suitable as the sole source of nutrition.  Not for parenteral use.

Protifar has a neutral taste and can therefore be added to both sweet and savory foods or drinks without significantly altering flavor or texture.  It is also suitable for use in cooking.

For best results, Protifar should be mixed with sufficient cold liquid to form a smooth paste before stirring into food or drink.  A level scoop holds approximately 2.5 g of powder (2.2 g protein)
