To be administered under medical supervision.

27. Why, the use of SON Formula® is more health-preserving than dietary proteins or protein supplements?

  • SON Formula®releases only 1% nitrogen catabolites. That is, the lowest amount of toxic metabolic waste, in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula. By comparison, dietary proteins or protein supplements release between 68% to 84% nitrogen catabolites. That means, 67 to 83 times more metabolic toxic waste compared to SON Formula®.
  • SON Formula® is absorbed in the small intestine within 23 minutes from its ingestion. By comparison, dietary proteins and protein supplements need from 3 to 6 hours to be digested. This means digestion period is 6 to 12 times longer compared to SON Formula®.
  • SON Formula® provides only 0.04 kcal/g. That is, the lowest amount of kcal/g ever provided, in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula. By comparison, dietary proteins and protein supplements provide 4.00 kcal/g. That means, 99 times more kcal/g compared to SON Formula®.
