Nutrivene-D 

 

 

 

Nutrivene-D is a supplement developed for children with Downs syndrome.  It is not directly relevant to the ketogenic diet, although many of the ingredients may be useful supplements.

Nutrivene-D can be obtained from International Nutrition, Inc., by calling 1-800-899-3413 (only in the US). Dosage is by weight. Persons over 16 years of age should request the adult formula. The package comes with 3 bottles: Daily formula, Enzyme capsules and Night-time formula. You can mix up the first two with the piracetam in the morning and give the 3 daily doses that way. The enzyme formula is the one part that can cause problems. If diarrhea occurs stop enzyme and restart with smallest amount you can give and work up to prescribed dose. If diarrhea restarts go back to last dosage without diarrhea. Do not give night-time formula less than 1 hour from bed time. Do night give night time formula closer than 2 hours from last daily supplement. If reflux develops stop the daily enzyme and call International Nutrition.
