*This is a general recommendation that, of course, cannot consider individual patient needs. It does not, and should not, supersede the recommendation of medical professionals who best know the individual patient needs. Renal patients should consult their physician before using this plan. This also does not meet adequate vitamins and minerals to meet daily requirements. A high quality complete multi-vitamin, such as OPURITY™, is highly recommended. Learn more at www.OPURITY.com. If milk intake is limited, Calcium supplementation is recommended.
