Dosage and directions for use
The daily amount of XPhe jumpDHA depends on age, body weight and individual metabolic status of the adolescent or adult and is determined under medical supervision. The daily quantity of XPhe jumpDHA should be taken together with calculated amounts of other foods, in 3 - 5 single portions evenly distributed during the day. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) XPhe jumpDHA contains the polyunsaturated ω-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Studies with PKU patients (Koletzko et al. 2007-2009) have shown that the DHA status in these patients was reduced, even when the supply with the precursor ω-3 fatty acid, α-linoleic acid, was adaequate (α-linoleic acid can be converted to DHA by means of an endogenous enzyme system). The rate of this synthesis, however, is limited. Thus an intake of preformed DHA with the diet is recommended. Foods rich in DHA (esp. fish), however, are usually not permitted in the PKU diet. For an optimal supply of PKU patients with DHA, XPhe jumpDHA has thus been supplemented with 6 mg DHA per gram protein. The DHA used is derived from tuna oil. Allergen declaration XPhe jumpDHA contains traces of milk protein and soya.
