PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Albumax by OSA Pharma is formulated for people who need a high quality protein supplement and who must limit their intake of other nutrients, vitamins and fluids. Albumax may be used as a protein supplement for oral or tube-fed consumption and is not intended to be used as a meal replacement. Dialysis patients need an easy way to increase high quality protein in their diet. Currently available nutritional supplements for dialysis patients contain a variety of ingredients some of which may not be suitable for individual dialysis patients. In addition many are formulated as a liquid which increases the fluid intake of the dialysis patient. Albumax supplies only high quality protein along with two essential amino acids in a powder form that may be mixed with or sprinkled on other foods. Preliminary results show that Albumax is very effective in raising blood albumin levels in the dialysis patient.
