Complete Nutrition
If you are using Alpha ENF for complete nutrition, start with 50 gram servings 6 times a day and increase until your caloric needs are met; 50 gm is about 3 heaping tablespoons or about 1/3 cup of formula - mix in one or more cups (about 220 ml) of water or juice.
One 50 gram serving is worth about 180 Calories. The recommended average daily intake for physically active adults who want to maintain current body weight is 1000 to 2000 Calories or 300 to 600 grams per day.
Six 50 gm servings or 300 grams provides approximately 1100 Calories, a recommended daily minimum intake.
Smaller amounts of Alpha ENF should be used at first if you get symptoms from a 50 gram dose. Hypersensitive people have adapted by slowly increasing the dose they take - starting with teaspoon quantities several times a day for 3 days, slowly increasing the quantity until 50 gram or larger servings are tolerated. Experienced users can often boost the single serving size up to 100 grams per serving; this is equivalent to 350 Calories.
Alpha ENF Vitamin and Mineral Values per 1000 Calories
I
t is helpful to express nutrient values per 1000 calories since that intake of Alpha ENF per day is considered to be the minimum amount for complete nutrition. It is easy to calculate the value of increased servings of Alpha ENF from this chart. 300 grams of the formula provides 1000 calories. A one kilogram bottle can supply 1000 calories per day for 3 and a third days. We predict that clearing long-standing symptoms will take 7 to 10 days or 3 kilograms of Alpha ENF.Improvements to the formula. Formula manufactured after Sept 1 2002 will have increased folic acid content. The label value of 120 micrograms has been raised to 300 micrograms. This improvement is in response to increasing scientific evidence for benefits derived by increasing folic acid intake. The possible benefits include the prevention of birth defects, reduction of heart attacks and strokes and the prevention of Alzheimer's disease.
