Alpha ENF requires little or no digestion. The nutrients are ready to be absorbed
into the bloodstream. Often, especially with the first few servings, you can feel the
effects of nutrients being rapidly absorbed. Nutrients also act on the surfaces of the
throat and later stomach and small intestine. You may notice a drying effect on your
throat. Food materials are slowly digested with prolonged, sustained release of nutrients
- some nutrients are lost since food may not be fully digested and nutrients may not be
completely absorbed. Because the nutrients are quickly absorbed and utilized, it is
advisable to have a serving of Alpha ENF every 2-3 hours. If you go longer without
replenishing your nutrient supply, you may have a "power-down" experience.

It is natural to feel thirsty after drinking a serving of Alpha ENF. For each cup of
Alpha ENF, drink another cup of water between servings. Occasionally the nutrients
stimulate bowel contractions - this is felt as mild crampy abdominal pains. This mild
over-stimulation may be corrected by drinking more water and tends to disappear as you get
used to taking the formula.
What food materials does Alpha ENF contain?
The nutrients in Alpha ENF are mostly supplied in their pure, elemental form. The
vitamins, minerals, and amino acids are pharmaceutically manufactured and certified
USP or FCC.
The lipid components are canola and safflower oil, high in oleic and linoleic acid. The carbohydrates
are supplied as natural sugars - glucose (dextrose) and fructose - and maltodextrin, a
mixture of carbohydrate chains of different molecular weights. All the carbohydrates are
derived from vegetable sources, primarily corn.
Does Alpha ENF and PMX contain sugar?
Yes, the carbohydrate content of Alpha ENF was designed to imitate fruits and
vegetables which supply a combination of glucose, fructose, and complex carbohydrates -
starch and fibers. Glucose is the basic sugar of life. The human body is a glucose-machine
just as a car is a gasoline-machine. Each cell in your body consumes sugar as glucose.
Glucose (dextrose) supplies 8% of total calories. Fructose supplies 6% of the total
calories. Fructose is very similar to glucose but is metabolized by different metabolic
pathways. Fructose, for example, does not require insulin for passage into cells as does
glucose. Fructose is three times as sweet as glucose. Glucose and fructose should be
considered normal vegetable-fruit sugars. The remainder of the carbohydrate is supplied as
maltodextrin, a starch derivative which consists of chains of glucose of different
lengths. These carbohydrate chains require some digestion and can provide
sustained-release glucose, similar to the starches in grains and vegetables. The sugar
content of Alpha ENF is essential to supply energy and should be no problem to normal
individuals. If you are worried about hypoglycemia, be sure to take Alpha ENF in smaller
servings every 2-3 hours. free racing games
Does Alpha ENF and PMX contain Fiber?
Alpha ENF contains a non-nutritive carbohydrate fiber, microcellulose, which
forms a gel in water and acts like vegetable fiber in the gastrointestinal tract - the gel
provided some bulk for stool formation and acts as a sponge to soak up bile salts which
might otherwise cause an irritable bowel or diarrhea.
Will the sugar in Alpha ENF cause yeast to overgrow in the intestinal tract?
No. Early studies of the effect of elemental formulas showed dramatic reduction of all
microorganisms growing in the intestinal tract. With formulas similar to Alpha ENF,
delivering most of the sugar as glucose, candida yeast in the lower digestive tract
disappeared completely!
Can Alpha ENF be used by strict vegetarians?
Yes. Alpha ENF contains no animal products. Strict vegetarians will benefit from the
boost of nutrients that the formula supplies, especially nutrients that may be scarce on a
vegetarian diet. These include amino acids, iron, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and trace
minerals.
Will I get Enough Protein ?
Dietary protein supplies amino acids, the real nutrients. Proteins are mostly
responsible for food allergy and have been specifically eliminated from the formula.
Instead, crystalline, L-form amino acids are the nutrients supplied in Alpha ENF. Alpha
ENF supplies all the essential and non-essential amino acids in a rationally balanced mix
of the highest purity. Alpha ENF supplies 25 grams of amino acids (taking the place of
protein) at 1500 Calories or 450 grams per day. For those that eat less than 450 grams per
day, your need for amino acids is probably covered - the 25 gram estimate is probably
higher than your actual need, and the formula amino acids are more efficiently absorbed
and utilized than proteins in food. Since the amino acid pool in the body is recycled, net
loss of amino acids is estimated to be only 2 grams per day.
How is Alpha ENF Different from other meal-replacement powders?
Many nutrient formulas are available. Most are made of potentially allergenic materials
such as milk powder or milk proteins such as casein, egg white or albumin, soya and other
vegetable proteins. All food preparations which contain large molecules, especially
proteins and hydrolyzed proteins, are avoided on low allergy programs because they retain
some allergenic effects. Hydrolyzed proteins tend to have unpleasant tastes and odors. Liquid
diets for weight loss, protein powders, soya protein or vegetable protein powders, and
nutritional supplements may be allergenic and otherwise contain problems that we wish to
avoid. Products containing herbs, "natural foods or plant materials" also may
contain allergenic materials and may have undesirable side-effects.
Is Alpha ENF Safe for Celiacs?
Yes, Alpha ENF and the Alpha Nutrition Program are gluten-free and are well suited to
the needs of all Celiacs. Some email writers have questioned the source of some
ingredients - none contain gluten. Maltodextrin is a hydrolysed starch and is not
related to "Malt" which is a gluten-containing derivative of cereal grains -
as in "Barely Malt".
Can a knowledgeable scientist prepare a workable
self-management program using just the Book and about 3 kg of Alpha ENF?
Yes, we hope so. The
program is home science and requires an intelligent approach to self-monitoring and
problem solving. You need to read Alpha Nutrition Manual and understand the essential
steps in the program. If you choose to use Alpha ENF for a food holiday, 3 kg will get you
through the first 7 to 10 days and that is usually long enough to feel better. If things
go well, you will want to use Alpha ENF longer as a maintenance tool.
Q; We just received our first batch of Alpha ENF and have started
reading our Alpha Nutrition Manual. How do we get help if we think that is necessary?
You can order
the Alpha Nutrition manual and take courses on the Internet. We would recommend that people take Alpha
Nutrition Courses starting with part 1 so that you are prepared and well informed
before you begin. Remember that this is an educational process and we do not provide
medical diagnostic and treatment services - you must go to your physician for medical
help.
Storage of Alpha ENF & PMX
Alpha ENF can be stored at room temperature for several months. Avoid storing the
formula near heat or in direct light. If you intend to store Alpha ENF in the powder form
for more than a few months or if ambient temperatures are above 28 degrees Celsius,
refrigerate the powder for best shelf-life. If you want to store Alpha ENF for many
months, put it in the freezer - this gives it indefinite shelf-life. Many nutrients are
damaged by oxidation which occurs at a faster rate with increased temperature and exposure
to light. This is true of all food materials and nutrient supplements.
For long-term storage of Alpha ENF as survival rations Alpha ENF & PMX formulas
should be frozen to obtain a shelf-life of several years. Alpha PMX has a longer
shelf-life than Alpha ENF because it does not contain the lipid (fat) component which
tends to oxidize over time and go rancid. Alpha PMX has a shelf life of 2 to 3 years at
room temperature - longer if it kept cool. A vegetable oil can be stored separately in an
airtight, opaque container and added to Alpha PMX when consumed to achieve complete
nutrition.
Once mixed with water or juice, Alpha ENF & PMX are perishable because it is an
excellent nutrient mix. The growth of micro-organisms spoil food. Micro-organisms love
nutrients and grow rapidly in such a complete nutrient solution. The micro-organisms come
from the air and from the surface of utensils you use to mix and hold the formula. To
avoid the growth of micro-organisms, it is better to mix and use the formula as you need
it. Should you want to keep mixed formula for more than 1 hour in liquid form, store it in
the refrigerator. It can be carried in a thermos as a cold drink (mixed with ice) for up
to 8 hours. Since it is easy to carry the formula as a powder, mix with water whenever you
want a serving. For example, carry hot water in a thermos and mix in the powder when you
are ready for a serving of Alpha ENF.
