CaloMALT®

CarniVOLVE Powder (L-Carnitine)

CaloMALT® is a high energy carbohydrate supplement, with a low dextrose equivalence, which should be taken orally. CaloMALT® has a characteristic neutral flavour. CaloMALT® contains no protein or fat.

CarniVOLVE powder is a pure L-carnitine powder used in the supplementation of L-carnitine as recommended for inherited and secondary L-carnitine deficiencies, such as inborn errors of metabolism.

Indication

Indication

CarniVOLVE powder complies with the standards outlined by the Potchefstroom laboratory of inborn errors of metabolism (PLIEM) for the treatment of primary and secondary L-carnitine deficiencies that result from inborn errors of metabolism or any other factors that affect l-carnitine homeostasis, such as medications (Valproate, Doxyrubicin).

Key Features

L-carnitine supplementation varies from patient to patient and should be monitored by a professional. In general the guideline dosages are stipulated below: 1. Inborn error of metabolism (Not MCADH) 100mg/kg/day 2. Secondary L-carnitine deficiency between 300-2000mg/day

CarniVOLVE® powder is also indicated in diets high in fat, such as the ketogenic diet. Fat metabolism is dependent on L-carnitine as a conjugate for lipid transport to the inner mitochondria for β-oxidation.

Excessive L-carnitine intake can result in diarrhoea and fishy odor, this can be treated by reducing the dosage and will subside within a few hours. It is best to split the daily dosage into smaller doses across the day as it is quickly cleared from the body.

A liquid L-carnitine is also available with a concentration of 200mg/ml.

CaloMALT is a nutritional supplement where additional energy is required, such as Oncology Pre and Post surgery Contra-indications: Anorexia CaloMALT® is not suitable as a sole source of nutrition.

Fat mal-absorption Precautionary note: Only suitable as a supplement to a normal diet.

Dosage and application

MCT Oil

Whey UP®

Medium Chain Triglyceride (MCT) oil is a fractionated coconut oil that has all long chain triglycerides removed. MCTs bypass normal fatty acid absorptive pathways. This makes MCT’s suitable for persons that have difficulty absorbing and metabolising long chain triglycerides.

Indication

MCT oils are suitable as a fat based energy source in person with chylothorax and LCT fat malabsorption.

MCT oil may also be used as an emergency ketone boost in the ketogenic diet. This is due to the shortened metabolism caused by the shortened absorbtive pathway.

Dosage and application

MCT oils are used as a fatty acid energy source in diets that are restricted in long chain triglycerides. The dosage is calculated specifically for each individual and use should be monitored by a qualified medical practitioner.

Smaller dosages are recommended to prevent cramping or the onset of diarrhoea.

Key Features

Whey UP is a whey based protein module suitable for protein supplementation. Whey protein is more digestible than conventional milk protein based protein supplements, with a digestibility of 93% as opposed to 85%. The amino acid profile is also of a high quality, scoring the highest protein score of 1.0. Whey proteins are high in essential amino acids, especially branched chain amino acids and large neutral amino acids. Large neutral amino acids are known to stabilise serotonin production and enhance brain function.

Indication

Whey UP is suitable for protein supplementation in persons with casein and/or gluten intolerances.

Whey UP may be used as a modular component of the ketogenic diet. The low gastric clearance time allows for regular feeding with shortened intervals.

Dosage and application

The amount of whey protein to be used is specific to the individual and should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional.

UCD Complete® Hyperammonaemia is a life threatening crisis caused by the accumulation of excessive ammonia.

UCD complete is a supplement containing 2 ammonia scavengers and the amino acid L-arginine.

These ingredients act to scavenge 3 ammonia molecules and enhance anabolic pathways reducing the flux of nitrogen to the urea cycle, respectively. The advantage of a dual scavenger system is that the rate of ammonia clearance is significantly increased when compared to competitive products.

Indication

Urea cycle defects are a group of autosomal recessive disorders, with the exception of Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, which is inherited in an X-linked manner. These diseases result from defects in the metabolism of waste nitrogen generated by the breakdown of nitrogen containing molecules, such as protein. In severe cases, infants appear normal at birth but decompensate metabolically within a few days. This decompensation results in cerebral edema, anorexia, hyper or hypoventilation, hypothermia, seizures, neurological posturing and coma. Milder conditions such as Arginase deficiency have later onset patterns and decompensation is normally triggered by intermittent illness or stress.

Ammonia is a normal component of blood but is limited to levels between 10 -40µmol/L. These levels are strictly controlled and disturbances in ammonia homeostasis can be catastrophic. Minor elevations of levels to 100µmol and 200µmol are associated with disturbances in consciousness and neurological disturbances respectively. It was originally believed that the toxicity associated with hyperammonaemia was directly attributed to the ammonia, primarily through the depletion of ATP and the Tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediate α-ketoglutarate. However radio labelled studies showed that elevated ammonia did not affect the concentration of α-ketogluterate in the brain. It is now believed that the toxicological effects of elevated ammonia are a result of elevated L-glutamine, particularly in the brain This elevation in brain glutamine levels results in a complex pathophysiological and neurotoxic response, including disturbances in potassium ion homeostasis, Free radical generation, increase mitochondrial permeability and lactate production. Secondary effects of L-Glutamine elevation include astrocytes swelling and dysfunction. There is however evidence to suggest that ammonia does alter some aspects of cerebral energy metabolism, but this is not considered significant enough to be life threatening until end-stage disease.

UCD complete acts through two mechanisms that ameliorate the effects of ammonia toxicity.

Primary ammonia removal is achieved through the supplementation of cytoplasmic intermediate

L-Arginine, which ultimately acts as a substrate in the conversion of ammonia to urea, which is readily excreted through the urine. The L-Arginine is further metabolised to L-ornithine and urea, whereas the succinic acid is recycled into the Tricarboxylic acid cycle. L-Arginine is a known stimulant of growth hormone release and may contribute to ammonia fixation through direct stimulus of the urea cycle in tandem with stimulating the release of growth hormone, which will in turn slow the release ammonia through catabolism.

Secondary deammoniation is achieved through the supplementation of sodium benzoate and sodium phenylbutyrate, which conjugate glycine and glutamine respectively. Benzoic acid is a xenobiotic molecule that is quickly metabolised to benzoyl-coA. Benzoyl-coA is a substrate of the GLYAT enzyme that conjugates the benzoic acid portion of benzoyl-coA to glycine for excretion in the urine, as hippuric acid. During benzoic acid supplementation glycine is depleted resulting in a shift in the reaction direction of glycine synthase. This action by glycine synthase traps free ammonia and carbon dioxide, forming glycine, which is utilised as a substrate for GLYAT and the resulting hippuric acid is excreted through the urine. 1 molecule of ammonia is “trapped” within every hippuric acid molecule through this pathway. Phenylbutyrate is metabolised to phenylacetate, which is then conjugated to glutamine. 2 molecules are “trapped” and release through the excretion of phenylacetylglutamine.

The use of two ammonia fixing substrates is justified through Michaelis-Menton kinetics, which illustrates the saturable nature of enzyme reactions.

Dosage and application

Due the vast heterogeneity of human genetics, each individual will respond differently to UCD complete and should always use the product under medical supervision. The dosage in acute decompensation and hyperammonaemia is 1g/kg/day, once the ammonia has been stabilised this dosage should be reduced to a point where the plasma ammonia is within normal parameters.

During hyperammonaemia it is recommended that protein intake is restricted to prevent additional ammonia entering the system.
