Ans. Menopause is a natural process defined as the end of menstruation in a woman's life. Most women reach menopause between the ages of 45 and 55 years but reports suggests that menopause may occur as early as in 30s or 40s in a few.

1. Menopausal woman might suffer from symptoms like: feeling very hot and sweaty, reddened face and sometimes cold chills. This might be worse at night. This is called a 'Hot Flash'
2. Few women may put on weight
3. Some women feel sad, depressed and have problems in sleeping
4. Some women experience vaginal dryness and unexplained soreness in muscle and joints, unrelated to trauma and exercise

Ans. The most common long-term health risks are Osteoporosis or CAD.

1. In Osteoporosis, the bones become fragile and are more prone to fractures
2. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a heart disease due to the narrowing or blockage of arteries that surrounds the heart muscle

Ans. MenoPro is a scientifically formulated therapeutic nutritional supplement for all peri and post menopausal women, providing isoflavones, soy protein isolates, essential Vitamins and Minerals including Calcium and Vitamin D.

MenoPro is used to relieve menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, etc. It contains the optimum dose of:

1. Isoflavones which are known to reduce menopausal symptoms
2. Calcium to improve bone health and prevention of menopausal osteoporosis
3. Soy protein isolates that reduces CVD risk

MenoPro is a true companion, which keeps women fit during menopausal years.

Ans. MenoPro contains isoflavones [60mg per serving (30gm)] which has the following benefits for peri and post menopausal women.

1. It provides relief from menopausal symptoms
2. It protects against cardiovascular diseases
3. It reduces bone loss
4. It improves memory

Ans. Isoflavones increase bone mineral content as well as bone mineral density. In the human body there is a constant process of breaking down and remaking of bones. The osteoclasts are cells which break down the bone, whereas the osteoblasts build up bone. If the activity of the osteoclasts is higher than that of the osteoblasts, there will be a gradual reduction of bone strength, leading to osteoporosis. Isoflavones inhibit the activity of osteoclasts, while stimulating the activity of osteoblasts. This moderate stimulus is enough to stimulate a continuous formation of bones.

Ans. These are the advantages of isoflavone supplementation over HRT.

Parameters	Isoflavones	HRT
Prevention of osteoporosis	Yes	Yes
Action on cholesterol	Yes	No
Risk of breast cancer	Reduced	Possibly increased
Risk of endometrial cancer	Reduced	Increased
Vasomotor System	Reduced	Relieved
Vaginal bleeding	Nil	Yes (50-80%)
Breast pain, tenderness	Nil	Yes
Bloating, weight gain	Nil	Yes

Ans. Soy protein and isoflavones provide phytoestrogen combined with beta estrogen receptors reducing menopausal symptoms and its risk such as hot flashes, CVD risk and osteoporosis. Recent studies have proven that soy protein may be useful in protecting postmenopausal women against the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

Ans. MenoPro should be taken from the peri menopausal stage (from the time your menstrual cycle becomes irregular and you miss them for more than three months). This will ensure a decrease in the intensity of menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, etc. You can continue to consume MenoPro throughout your lifetime, as MenoPro is a complete nutritional supplement designed to keep women fit after 40. Moreover it does not have any side effects since it is made from 100% natural sources.

Ans. Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) recommends 800mg calcium per day for menopausal women. A serving of MenoPro (30g) once a day provides 750mg of Calcium which when consumed along with milk provides adequate quantity of calcium. Calcium helps to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and strengthens bones after menopause. MenoPro provides 120 IU Vitamin D, which aids in the better absorption of calcium. Many calcium supplementations in the market are from inorganic sources, which provide less absorption. Whereas calcium in MenoPro is from organic sources and provides better absorption. Hence, separate supplementation of calcium is not required for menopausal women, until and unless suggested by a physician.

Ans. Yes, MenoPro is a sugar free formulation.

Ans. PulmoCare is a unique and the only nutritional supplement with high fat, low carbohydrate and adequate protein. PulmoCare is scientifically designed for patients suffering from asthma, tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other respiratory disorders.

Ans. RQ or Respiratory Quotient is the measure of the carbon dioxide (CO₂) production in the body with respect to the oxygen (O₂) consumed during metabolism. The respiratory quotient (RQ) is calculated from the ratio:

RQ = CO₂ eliminated / O₂ consumed

Where the term "eliminated" refers to carbon dioxide exhaled (removed) from the body. In a healthy individual, RQ is below 1.

Ans. Respiratory Quotient for Fat is 0.7, Protein is 0.8 and Carbohydrate is 1. From a nutritional standpoint, this means that carbohydrate metabolism will yield most carbon dioxide, while eating fats will yield the least carbon dioxide.

In respiratory disorders, breathing is compromised and there is less oxygen intake. Hence high fat and low carbohydrate diet means low carbon dioxide production during metabolism that improves Respiratory Quotient, thereby improving breathing.

Ans. Respiratory disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) come with sudden weight loss and this further deteriorates respiratory condition. Doctors have reported that PulmoCare was responsible for weight gain in many patients as it provides high energy and high fat. The weight gain also improves the respiratory condition by improving Respiratory Quotient (RQ) and helps in easy breathing.

Ans. There is a vicious cycle between malnutrition and tuberculosis. Nutritional supplementation represents a novel approach for faster recovery in tuberculosis. PulmoCare is a scientifically formulated nutritional supplement having high fat, low carbohydrate and adequate protein which provides high energy and strengthens respiratory muscles. PulmoCare also contains 28 essential vitamins and minerals that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties ideal for a person suffering with TB.

Ans. People suffering from respiratory disorders such as Asthma, COPD - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Chronic bronchitis, Emphysema), Tuberculosis can consume PulmoCare to recover from respiratory disorder.

No, PulmoCare is not meant for children and separate formulation for paediatric pulmonary nutrition - PulmoPlus is available with British Biologicals. For further information on PulmoPlus, please refer to PulmoPlus product in the website.

Ans. Yes, you can, as it is unique and the only nutritional supplement with high fat, low carbohydrate and adequate protein. PulmoCare is scientifically designed for patients suffering from asthma, tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other respiratory disorders. PulmoCare does not have any interactions with other respiratory drugs, whereas it has a synergistic effect as it improves the nutritional status, respiratory condition by improving Respiratory Quotient and helps in easy breathing.

However, it is advised to consult your doctor before consumption.

Ans. Although PulmoCare is a high fat formulation; it has very low cholesterol content. Low amount of cholesterol is important for cell membrane and hormone production in the body. Thus, PulmoCare is safe for consumption and does not affect cholesterol levels.

Ans. As respiratory patients are immunocompromised, they require various micronutrients. PulmoCare is rich in antioxidants like Vitamin A, C, E and Zinc and anti-inflammatory nutrients like Folic acid, Selenium, Vitamin C, D and E. PulmoCare is also enriched with 28 essential vitamins and minerals for boosting a patient's immunity and body's natural antioxidant activity.

Ans. Pre-diabetes is a condition where blood glucose levels are higher than normal but are not high enough for being diagnosed as diabetes. People with Pre-diabetes are at increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Ans. If you have a glucose monitoring machine, you can detect your blood glucose level yourself. These are the guidelines for each category:

	Fasting Blood Glucose (mg/dl) (early morning on empty stomach without tea/coffee)	Random Test (mg/dl) (any time random score)	HbA1c (%)* (3 months' average score. Not all machines have this function)
Diabetes	126 or above	200 or above	6.5 or above
Pre-Diabetes	100 to 125	140 to 199	5.7 to 6.4
Normal	Below 100	139 or below	About 5

*HbA1c test must be taken at a pathological lab.

Ans. This condition is called Gestational Diabetes. It typically occurs during the later stages of pregnancy. Although this form of diabetes usually goes away after the baby is born, if a woman suffers from gestational diabetes, her child has a lifelong risk of developing diabetes. Gestational diabetes is caused by the hormones of pregnancy or a shortage of insulin.

D-Protin is an ideal nutritional supplement that can be included in your diet. You are also advised to have small frequent meals and do moderate exercise to maintain blood glucose levels, keeping your baby healthy and to avoid complications during pregnancy. However, it is always best to consult your gynaecologist.

1. Increased thirst
2. Increased hunger
3. Fatigue
4. Increased urination, especially at night
5. Weight loss
6. Blurred vision
7. Wounds that do not heal

However, it is advised to examine your blood glucose level in a nearby pathology lab and consult your physician immediately.

Ans. Once diabetes is detected, it cannot be prevented, but if a person is detected as pre-diabetic, Type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed. Pre-diabetics are advised to follow a low calorie, low fat meal plan, and engage in moderate physical activity to reduce weight. Various studies have concluded that people with pre-diabetes can cut their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by more than half.

Remember, the best way to cut down your glucose levels is by modifying your diet, exercise regime, and lifestyle.

Ans. The diet of diabetic patients is deficient in one or more nutrients. Due to dietary restrictions, diabetic patients, especially working professionals or elderly patients do not get recommended amounts of nutrients from their regular diet. As a consequence, diabetic patients regularly experience a lack of energy and also suffer from hunger pangs. Thus, there is an acute need to complement their diet with a nutritional supplement.

D-Protin is an ideal nutritional supplement for a diabetic, as it helps to control blood sugar levels, as well as reduce future complications like diabetic nephropathy, heart disease, etc. D-Protin provides specific calories, as per nutritional guidelines, of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

Ans. Glycemic Index (GI) is a ranking of carbohydrates on a scale from 0 to 100 according to the extent to which they raise blood sugar levels after eating. Usually, the excepted range should be less than 55. The GI of D-Protin is 38.8 (National Institute of Nutrition [NIN] tested) and thus, it is an ideal supplement for diabetics.

Ans. Generally for a diabetic patient, it is very essential to have small frequent meals. Hence, it is advised to have at least five meals in a day rather than three major meals. You may add two small extra meals with the delicious D-Protin drink.

D-Protin can be taken:

1. As a snack replacement or addition, preferably at 11:00 am and 5:00 pm, or
2. Before breakfast/with breakfast and post dinner/at bedtime

Hence, D-Protin can be taken twice a day between meals. It is not a meal replacement.

Ans. Nocturnal hypoglycemia is defined as hypoglycemia whilst asleep. If you have nocturnal hypoglycemia, it can usually be prevented in one of two ways:

Kids-Pro contains a balanced combination of macro and micronutrients, which aids the growth aspects of children, such as brain development, skeletal development, immunity, physical growth (muscles and body mass), as well as digestive health.

Ans. TV advertised products, milk food drinks, or milk additives available in market, are composed mainly of sugars and flavours, which just increases the taste of the milk but do not provide essential nutrients in the right quantities required for growth and development. Kids-Pro is a scientifically formulated product defined as per the RDA for Indian kids, with adequate quantities of protein, DHA, taurine, pre and probiotics, and 28 essential vitamins and minerals. These nutrients are required for various aspects of growth, such as physical growth, skeletal development, brain development, immunity, and digestive health. Moreover, Kids-Pro is a trusted brand of doctors and is prescribed by many paediatricians across India.

Ans. Many children are choosy or selective about food. The intake of only one type of food (or only certain dishes) doesn't provide all the essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, which are necessary during the growth period of children.

Kids-Pro contains adequate quantities of protein, DHA, taurine, pre and probiotics, and 28 essential vitamins and minerals, which not only helps make up for the missing nutrients in the diet but also contributes to physical growth, brain development, skeletal development, immunity, and digestive health.

As with any nutritional product used as a sole source of nutrition, a child using Kids-Pro in this way should have close medical supervision.

Ans. Surveys have shown that almost 50% of school going children miss their breakfast regularly. Skipping breakfast adversely affects physical growth, zest, learning capabilities, memory, and academic performance. Nutritional supplements like Kids-Pro provide essential nutrients for overall growth and have shown to improve memory as well as cognitive functions, and the beneficial effects persist during their school years.

Ans. The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention says that 40% of school going children miss school because of illness or injury. This may be due to poor hygiene, low immunity and nutritional status. Kids-Pro is an ideal nutritional supplement for growing kids. A combination of macro and micronutrients ensures the intake of all essential nutrients for the overall growth of children. Hence, the ingredients in Kids-Pro improve immunity and nutritional status, and help avoid absenteeism.

Ans. The liver is the largest internal organ of the body. It performs over 500 vital functions. Liver processes the nutrients required by the body, including Proteins, Carbohydrates, Fats and Vitamins. In liver disorders, since the liver is not able to perform its function, the requirements of overall nutrients are not met. As a result the patient will be malnourished. Hence, an ideal supplement which improves liver function as well as nutritional status is required.

Ans. HepaPro is a scientifically formulated nutritional supplement which improves the nutritional status as well as liver function of a patient with liver disorders. HepaPro is the only nutritional supplement which offers liver specific nutrients that reverse the pathological changes occurred as a result of liver disease and thereby improves the functional status of the liver.

Ans. HepaPro is a scientifically formulated nutritional supplement for liver disorders which improves the nutritional status as well as liver function. HepaPro is recommended to improve nutritional status in liver disorders like Jaundice, Hepatitis, Alcoholic liver disease, Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), Liver Cirrhosis and associated complications such as Hepatic Encephalopathy. However, it is advisable to consult your doctor.

Ans. According to Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) reports published in The Times of India, paediatricians say that almost 17-40% of obese children in India (in the 8-20 years age group) are now being diagnosed with fatty liver. Experts say fatty liver among children is a result of their faulty lifestyle such as excessive consumption of junk food and less physical exercise. For instance, more and more children prefer to stay indoors and watch TV, thanks to the lack of playgrounds. The disease is more common among boys than girls.

HepaPro is the only nutritional supplement which offers liver specific nutrients which reverse the pathological changes occurred as a result of liver disease, and thereby improves the functional status of liver. Children with Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) can consume HepaPro as it contains lipotropes such as SAMe, Choline, Lipoic Acid, Vitamin B₁₂ and Biotin, which prevents the fat deposition in liver. However, it is advisable to consult your doctor before consuming.

Ans. Yes, HepaPro can be given for tube feeding. HepaPro can be consumed by dissolving 50 g in 100 ml of safe drinking water, and taken twice daily. However, it is advisable to consult your doctor or dietician before doing so.

Ans. In Jaundice, since the liver is in a compromised condition, it is advised to consume low calorie food and hence the nutritional requirement of the body is not met. HepaPro provides essential nutrients and fulfils this requirement. Since patients suffering from liver disorders may have digestive problems with milk (lactose intolerance), it is ideal to consume HepaPro with water.

Ans. HepaPro has to be consumed until recovery from disease. However, it is advisable to consult your doctor or dietician for the duration of therapy.

Ans. 1-6 years: 15g twice daily with 50ml lukewarm water or milk.

Over 6 years: 30g twice daily with 100ml lukewarm water or milk.

In case the patient is lactose intolerant, it is advisable to consume with lukewarm water only. Consult your doctor or dietician before consuming.

Ans. Bacterial infections, stress, antibiotic treatment, poor diet and a number of other factors can disturb the beneficial (good) bacterial balance in our intestinal tract. Increase in pathogenic (bad) bacteria can result in gas, diarrhoea, constipation, and other intestinal symptoms. A Probiotic supplement like ProGurt acts to maintain and replenish the decreased beneficial microflora in the intestinal tract.

A regular dose of Probiotic acts as a preventive measure against intestinal diseases such as bacterial infections and aid in the absorption of nutrients keeping pathogenic diseases of the intestinal tract in check, maintain normal bowel movements, prevents indigestion and bloating.

Ans. Yes, ProGurt can be consumed with antibiotics. Intake of antibiotics tends to deplete the good as well as bad bacteria. So, ProGurt along with antibiotics helps maintain the balance of good bacteria in the gut. However it is always suggested to continue ProGurt even after completing the course of antibiotics, to replenish and restore the normal gut flora.

Ans. Probiotics are certified as “GRAS” (Generally Regarded As Safe). This classification is given to products that are composed of ingredients that are natural or have been safely used for many years. Moreover, since there is no systemic absorption, Probiotics are devoid of any side effects. Usually the problems or side-effects are limited to excess gas or flatulence. The problem is subsided when a person discontinues Probiotic use for a few weeks and then resumes.

Ans. During pregnancy, mothers-to-be often have digestive problems. Consuming a Probiotic like ProGurt regularly is a safe and effective measure that may help prevent small digestive disorders and promote overall wellness. Since there is no systemic absorption, it is absolutely safe. Furthermore, immunity benefits can be achieved for both mother as well as baby by consuming ProGurt.

Ans. Yes, ProGurt restores intestinal balance and repopulates beneficial bacteria in the intestinal walls that help to breakdown and digest foods including lactose. Hence, ProGurt is beneficial for people with lactose intolerance.

Ans. ProGurt can be taken in conditions like Antibiotic Associated Diarrhoea, Infectious Diarrhoea, Gastroenteritis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's Disease, Pouchitis and Diverticulitis. However, we recommend consulting your physician before taking ProGurt for any specific medical condition.

Ans. Pathogens produce toxins that can result in Diarrhoea. ProGurt corrects any imbalance of intestinal flora and interfere with the growth of pathogens in the intestinal tract, thereby curtailing the toxins produced by pathogens. Thus, it improves regularity and consistency of stools thereby controlling Diarrhoea. ProGurt can be used for 5-10 days depending on the severity of Diarrhoea.

Ans. There are billions of bacteria in the human digestive tract. Literature recommends that the ratio of good to bad bacteria needs to be at least 85:15. To maintain this balance, we need to provide both Probiotic and Prebiotic support for the gut. Many Probiotic brands available at the chemist cannot survive stomach acid and are diminished. ProGurt contains 10 Probiotic strains offering 4 billion CFU, and Prebiotic 100mg FOS which supports further proliferation of Probiotics. ProGurt is the only brand manufactured by a patented PRIME Technology which ensures that Probiotics are not destroyed by any gastric or bile acids. Only on the exposure of alkaline medium in the small and large intestine the Probiotics are released and thus Probiotics are delivered in the gut alive for their desired action.

Different Lactobacillus bacteria are isolated from yogurt preparations in India. Yogurt is a traditional food used since ages for digestive health. Usually yogurt has only two strains: Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophillus. However, with advancement of modern science it is advisable to consume multi-strains for better results. ProGurt contains 10 Probiotic strains and FOS as Prebiotic. Thus, for overall digestive health ProGurt is better than normal yogurt.

Ans. The duration of time ProGurt can be consumed depends on the specific disease for which ProGurt has been advised. Other than diarrhoea, ProGurt can be used from 15 days to six months, depending on the disease condition. Therefore, it is important to consult with your physician about the duration of ProGurt.

Ans. Mix the content of 1 sachet of ProGurt in 250 ml of clean drinking water, stir it to dissolve and consume it immediately.

No, even if you have a relatively healthy intestinal tract with balanced good bacteria, you can still safely take ProGurt for preventive purposes.

Ans. To treat rotavirus diarrhoea, antibiotic associated diarrhoea and infectious diarrhoea in children, with less dosage and faster recovery is one of the greatest challenges faced by paediatricians as they have to prescribe more than two therapies. Giving too many medicines and dosages to children makes them irritated and uncomfortable. ProGurt Kid is a unique compliance pack containing ORS, Zinc, Probiotics & Prebiotic. This unique compliance pack of four helps children replace the electrolytes lost during watery stools and restore the gut flora with healthy micro organisms.

Ans. ProGurt Kid is a compliance pack and not a combination. It is specially manufactured keeping in mind all the needs of a patient with diarrhoea. Diarrhoea causes the essential electrolytes (salts) to be drained out of the body. Not only this, the essential micro organisms in the intestine which help in various bodily functions are also eliminated with the excessive watery stools.

ProGurt Kid provides:

1. ORS - replenishes the lost electrolytes
2. Probiotics - restores beneficial gut flora
3. Prebiotic - promotes growth of healthy microbes
4. Zinc - prevents recurrence of diarrhoeal bouts

Thus, ProGurt Kid is a compliance pack of four different essential therapies required for diarrhoeal treatment.

Ans. An entire sachet of ProGurt Kid needs to be dissolved in 500 ml of clean drinking water and the child should be encouraged to take small sips at regular intervals.

Ans. Each 20g sachet of ProGurt Kid contains 10 mg Zinc. Consuming ProGurt Kid twice daily provides the adequate quantity of 20mg Zinc. Separate supplementation of Zinc may depend on the severity of diarrhoea and can be decided by your physician or paediatrician.

Ans. ProGurt Kid solution can be prepared and kept in a bottle. This facilitates you to encourage the child to keep sipping on the solution at regular intervals. Moreover, it is difficult for children to drink 500 ml water at one go, thus prepare the solution and give it at regular intervals. ProGurt Kid is stable and once prepared, the solution can be kept for 24 hours. As you know that ProGurt Kid has to be consumed twice daily, thus we recommend ProGurt Kid solution to be consumed within 12 hours of preparation.

Ans. Consult your paediatrician before consuming ProGurt Kid; however ProGurt Kid can be given for:

1. Rotavirus Diarrhoea
2. Antibiotic Associated Diarrhoea
3. Infectious Diarrhoea
4. Gastroenteritis

Ans. ProGurt Kid is a scientifically formulated compliance pack for children and can be given to all age group above two years.

Ans. The recommended dose of ProGurt Kid is two sachets (20g sachet) per day for 5 - 10 days. However, depending on the severity of diarrhoea, the dose may vary. Kindly consult your physician or paediatrician for best advice.

Ans. Most of the Pre and Probiotics brands available in the market disintegrate in the highly acidic environment present in stomach. But Pre and Probiotics in ProGurt Kid are protected by patented PRIME technology that survives external environment, temperature, bile acids and gastric acid. Thus, stable Pre and Probiotics in ProGurt Kid are safely delivered to the intestine for its beneficial effects.

Ans. In ProGurt Kid, the formulation is a proprietary blend of patented PRIME technology involving Prebiotic as Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) 100mg and 5 strains of Probiotics.

1. Lactobacillus acidophilus - 650 million
2. Lactobacillus rhamnosus - 400 million
3. Bifidobacterium longum - 100 million
4. Bifidobacterium infantis - 100 million
5. Saccharomyces boulardii - 50 million

Ans. The cholesterol circulating in our bloodstream originates from two sources; our diet and the synthesis in our own body, mainly in the liver, and excreted via the bile into the digestive tract. In the blood, cholesterol is carried by Lipoprotein (Carrier protein, which carries lipids, cholesterol, etc.) particles, mainly in Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL).

Ans. Yes, a higher level of LDL in the body is undesirable. When blood LDL cholesterol level exceeds the level needed for normal functioning, cholesterol starts to build up in blood vessel walls causing Atherosclerosis. Elevated blood cholesterol is a risk factor for many other Cardiovascular diseases.

Ans. ColRed is a complete cardiac nutritional supplement for lowering cholesterol and cholesterol related cardiac complications. The main ingredient in ColRed is PSE (Plant Sterol Esters), which is a cholesterol absorption inhibitor. Along with the PSE it also contains Best Quality Protein, Complex carbohydrates, Good Fat and other Heart Healthy Nutrients like Green Tea Extract, CoQ10, L-Carnitine, Dietary fibres, 23 essential Vitamins and Minerals.

Ans. The structure of PSE (Plant Sterol Esters) in ColRed is very similar to cholesterol particles. Hence, this PSE partly replaces the cholesterol particles present in the intestine and thus less cholesterol is absorbed in the blood stream. Therefore, regular consumption of ColRed alone or along with the other drugs prescribed by doctor helps to reduce cholesterol effectively.

Ans. PSE (Plant Sterol Esters) are group of compounds found naturally in plants. Small amounts of these compounds are present in corn, wheat, rye, and other plants. The source of PSE in ColRed is soya and rapeseed extract. Being a natural source, it is devoid of any side effects.

Ans. Yes, you can take ColRed along with other cholesterol lowering medications. Clinical studies shows that people on cholesterol medications benefit from using ColRed. In other words, Plant Sterol Esters (PSE) has been shown to further reduce blood cholesterol levels in people on Statin or other cholesterol lowering medications. However, consult your physician for best advice.

Ans. Consumption of 15 g ColRed twice daily reduces cholesterol levels by an average of     10-15% within two to three weeks. ColRed has been shown to further reduce blood cholesterol levels in people on Statin or other cholesterol lowering medications. ColRed can be taken for long duration in consultation with your physician, for better results.

Ans. Nutrition and diet is a major factor in all health complications, specifically lifestyle diseases such as obesity, diabetes, blood pressure, etc. Cardio Nutrition Therapy (CNT) is all about the role of nutrition in cardiac complications associated with increase in cholesterol and how proper nutrition can improve an individual's health having cardio vascular complications.

ColRed is scientifically formulated for CNT and is a complete cardiac nutritional supplement for lowering cholesterol and related cardiac complications. The main ingredient in ColRed is PSE (Plant Sterol Esters), which is a cholesterol absorption inhibitor. Along with the main ingredient it also contains best quality protein, complex carbohydrates, good fat and other heart healthy nutrients like Green Tea Extract, CoQ10, L-Carnitine, Dietary fibres, 23 essential vitamins and minerals.

Kindly consult your doctor before initiating Ketogenic diet with KetoKid. You can also consult with our panel of dieticians for assistance in Ketogenic diet.

Ans. There are two ways to initiate Ketogenic diet:

Fasting: Patient has to fast for 1-2 days to enable ketosis easily. The diet is initiated under close medical supervision in hospital setting. During this time, blood sugars and ketone bodies need to be monitored regularly.

Carbohydrate wash out diet (CHOW diet): Patient has to follow CHOW diet which consists of very low Carbohydrates with normal Proteins and increased Fats. It is administered to achieve ketosis of 3+ to 4+ within 3-7 days or more without fasting.

Remember that this kind of treatment should be strictly monitored under medical supervision. Hence, kindly consult your doctor before initiating Ketogenic diet.

Ans. If the child is on more than one antiepileptic medication, with the advice of your doctor the doses can be reduced as the child starts the Ketogenic diet with KetoKid. Once the frequency of seizures is reduced, further dose reduction of remaining antiepileptic medication may be done. However, it is highly advisable to consult your paediatrician, paediatric neurologist or neurologist for best advice.

Ans. No, KetoKid is a specially formulated formula which helps to follow the Ketogenic diet in an easier way.

Ans. Constipation is a condition in which the bowel movement becomes difficult or when it happens less frequently than normal. Constipation may occur when stool moves slowly through the colon; hence excess water is absorbed by the colon. This makes the stool hard, dry and difficult to pass, where as normal stools are soft and passed without straining. Additional symptoms of constipation are abdominal discomfort, pain, gas, bloating, fatigue and irritability.

Ans. Main causes of constipation are poor dietary habits, diet with low fiber content, lack of exercise, stress, travel and any other changes in daily routine. Postponing bowel movement may contribute to irregularity. Other causes include medications; pregnant women may often become constipated due to Iron and Calcium supplementation. Certain diseases such as diabetes or hypothyroidism may also cause constipation.

Ans. Follow the below tips to avoid constipation

1. Consume Fiber rich food like whole grains, fruits, vegetables to improve the bowel habits
2. Drink plenty of water and other liquids
3. Regular exercise improves the colon movement
