KETO ALPHA
Keto analogue tablets supply the building blocks of essential amino acids without the nitrogen load that ordinary protein carries. They allow people with advanced kidney disease to follow a low protein diet without becoming malnourished.
What Keto Analogues Are Used For
- Chronic kidney disease on a restricted protein diet
- Reducing the build up of urea and other waste products
- Preserving muscle and nutrition while protein intake is limited
- Delaying the need for dialysis in some patients
Common Side Effects
- Nausea or a feeling of fullness
- Raised blood calcium
- Stomach discomfort
Precautions
They only work as part of a properly planned low protein diet, so a dietitian review is important. Tablets are swallowed whole with meals so they are used alongside food. Blood calcium is monitored, and calcium supplements or vitamin D may need adjusting. This is prescription treatment for diagnosed kidney disease, not a general protein supplement.
