| Polycose Polymers is a readily digestible carbohydrate intended for persons with increased energy need or those who are unable to meet their caloric requirements with their normal diet.Polycose provides 3.8 calories per gm. of powder. Polycose solutions have an osmolality approximately one-fifth that of pure glucose solutions of similar concentration. This feature reduces the potential for osmotic diarrhea. Polycose is minimally sweet and mixes readily with most foods and beverages. | Instructions for Use |
Polycose is designed to be added directly to foods and beverages in amounts determined by caloric requirements, tolerance and taste. FOR MIXING WITH LIQUIDS. - For best results , pour desired amount of water or beverage into an appropriate sized container, then stir in Polycose with a spoon. |
STORAGE - Store the powder in a cool dry place but not the refrigerator. Dissolved powder must be refrigerated and discarded with 24 hours if not used. | PRECAUTIONS - Polycose is nutritionally incomplete and should not be used as the sole source of nutrition. For infant use, one gram of Polycose Powder added to each ounce of infant feeding increases the caloric concentration by approximately 3.8 cal/fl.oz. |
COMPOSITION - Glucose Polymers derived from controlled hydrolysis of Cornstarch. |
