Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can this mix be used as a sole source of nutrition?

How much powder should be used?
A medical provider will determine the dosage based on age, weight, and the specific urea cycle disorder. The recommended concentration is 5 grams of powder to 100 milliliters of fluid. The mix should be weighed with a gram scale.
Can this be used for parenteral feeding?
No, the Nutricia Amino Acid Mix is not for parenteral use.
How should the dry powder be stored? What about when it's been prepared?
