PROTORIS 200ML SYRUP
PROTIEN TONIC WITH ESSEN MINE
PROTORIS 200ML SYRUP is a protein tonic syrup with essential minerals, a nutritional supplement rather than a medicine. It is used to supplement protein and mineral intake where the diet is inadequate, in poor appetite, during convalescence, and in the elderly.
01
Benefits
- Provides a convenient liquid source of protein for patients who struggle to meet requirements from food.
- Added minerals address the deficiencies that commonly accompany inadequate protein intake.
- Supports tissue repair and the maintenance of muscle mass during convalescence and after illness.
- The liquid form suits the elderly, children and anyone who will not manage a powder or tablet.
- Useful where appetite is poor and a palatable drink is accepted more readily than a meal.

03
Precautions
- A nutritional supplement, not a medicine, and not a substitute for a balanced diet or for investigating unexplained weight loss.
- Contraindicated in known allergy to milk protein or soya, depending on the protein base.
- Patients with chronic kidney disease or liver disease should take protein supplements only on medical advice, as protein load requires supervision.
- Use with caution in diabetes; syrup preparations carry a sugar load unless stated otherwise.
- Introduce gradually and increase fluid intake alongside to reduce bloating and constipation.
- Do not let the supplement displace solid food — it adds to the diet rather than replacing meals.
- Shake well before use, keep tightly closed, and use within the period stated after opening.
