Directions for consumtion
- XPhe minis are ready for application, absolutely no preparation necessary.
- XPhe minis can be consumed discreetly, they do not draw attention to your dietary product.
- XPhe minis are packed in sachets – convenient and time saving – quick to calculate:
1 sachet = 24 tablets = 10g protein equivalent.
Dosage/Administration
The daily total amount of amino acid mixture depends on age, body weight and individual medical condition/protein tolerance.
• The daily dosage of amino acid mixture should at best be divided into 3 – 5 single portions.
• XPhe minis should be swallowed unchewed as whole tablets. They should always be taken with a sufficient quantity of liquid. XPhe minis are not meant to dissolve in the mouth. Once sachet is opened, the tablets should be taken within the next 6 hours.
Note: The tablets are covered with a tasteless coating. This makes it easy to swallow XPhe minis. However the layer is very thin. Thus, if the tablets were kept in the mouth for too long, this layer would dissolve and release the typical taste of an amino acid mixture. This is why we recommend the administration above.
Unit Size
XPhe minis 1 box contains 30 sachets of 24 tablets each. Total weight of the box is 475g.
