Special Uses for PMX
|
The nutrient values of Alpha PMX are listed on the label per 100 grams of formula. 300 grams of the formula supplies approximately 1100 calories of energy. There are two patterns of PMX use:
Carbohydrate supplies 85% of the calories and amino acids (protein) 15%. For complete food replacement vegetable oil is added to the formula to supply up to 35% of total calories as fat. For example, with added oil, the energy intake profile could be: Carbohydrate 59% Fat 30 % Amino Acids 11%. Alpha PMX is designed to supply all vitamins above recommended daily allowances and mineral levels at RDA (except for lower sodium and potassium) with an intake of 300 grams per day. The beginning serving size is 50 grams (about 3 heaping tablespoons). Smaller amounts of Alpha PMX 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, 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; this is equivalent to 350 Calories. Complete Nutrition Complete Nutrition: If you are using Alpha PMX 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 a little less that 1/3 cup of formula - mix in one or more cups (about 220 ml) of water or juice. Have extra water between servings of the formula. Adding fat to the formula: To complete, the nutrient set, add vegetable oil at the rate of one to two tablespoons per 100 grams of the formula. The addition of fat is required to supply essential fatty acids and to increase caloric intake. A combination of extra virgin Olive oil and Canola oil is recommend. For example start with100 grams of PMX (360 calories) and add 15 Grams of oil (140 calories) to supply a total of 500 calories. The recommended average daily intake for physically active adults who want to maintain current body weight is 1000 to 1500 calories. You would use 2 or 3 of the 500-calorie batches to supply daily nutrition. Conversion Table
