One of the therapeutic secrets of Alpha nutrient formulas is the avoidance of proteins or pieces of proteins known as peptides.

Staple foods such as milk, eggs, wheat, and meat contain proteins that frequently cause immune responses and are the basic problem in delayed patterns of food allergy. Protein powders sold as "body-building" supplements can be a source of trouble.

Alpha elemental formulas avoid all protein problems by providing a balanced set of  l-amino acids, the real nutrients derived from proteins by digestion of food.  Amino acids do not cause immune responses.

Alpha ENF and Alpha PMX are hypoallergenic, meal-replacement formulas that supply nutrients in their elemental form. The high nutrient density of Alpha ENF and PMX can be used strategically to support nutrition whenever nutrient or caloric deficiency is a concern. We designed Alpha ENF to supply complete nutrition and it remains the formula of choice for meal replacement. Alpha PMX is a modified fat-free version of Alpha ENF. PMX becomes a complete meal replacement if fat is added in the form of vegetable oil.

Alpha DMX combines a complete amino acid set with all the vitamins and minerals. It is used to reduce caloric, protein and fat intake by replacing one or two meals a day.
