NuTriVene-D Program

February 8th, 2012

Advanced Antioxidant Daily Supplement in Microencapsulated Powder

Directions for Use

Upon receipt of your first order only of NuTriVene-D, introduce 1 product at a time, beginning with Daily Supplement, then Daily Enzyme, and lastly the NightTime Formula.  Begin the Daily Supplement at ½ of the recommended dose and work up to full dose by end of week.  At Week 2, add the Daily Enzyme at ½ of the recommended dose and work up to the full dose by end of week.  At Week 3, begin the NightTime Formula at ½ of recommended dose and also work up to full dose by end of week.  For infants under 3 months, we recommend starting at Âş the recommended dose of each product and work up to the full dose of each product after 2-week periods, i.e., Daily Supplement – Weeks 1 & 2, Daily Enzyme – Weeks 3 & 4, NightTime Formula – Weeks 5 & 6.

DAILY SUPPLEMENT   (2 or 3x per day)

The Daily Supplement should be given two or three times per day and preferably at meal times.  Providing Nutrivene more than one time per day will help to keep the water-soluble vitamins and nutrients in your child’s body for longer periods of time.  The Daily Supplement microencapsulated powder can be added to apple juice, applesauce, yogurt, infant formula, or anything else that can help to mask the taste.  It is not necessary to divide the product exactly with razor blades, scales, etc.

When adding the powder to liquids, add the powder to a small amount of liquid first.  Thoroughly mix in order to remove powder balls, then add mixture to larger amount of liquid.  Product will not completely dissolve in liquid.  Product may also clog regular bottle nipples (Evenflo Juice Crosscut Nipples work well).  You may wish to use devices for introducing medicines to infants such as large droppers, oral syringes, etc.

DAILY ENZYME   (2 or 3x per day)

Gently pinch and twist the ends of unbanded capsule and pull apart.  Sprinkle one-half to one-third of daily dose into juice or food.  Enzymes should be mixed with Daily Supplement.  Capsule should be reattached and stored for future use.  If your child has been diagnosed with acid reflux, the Daily Enzyme should not be used.  If your child experiences diarrhea or an increase in spit-up after using the Daily Enzyme, discontinue use and contact us at (800) 899-3413 for changes in dosage instructions

NIGHTTIME FORMULA   (1x per day)

Administer capsules or gently pinch and twist the ends of the unbanded capsule and pull apart.  Add required dosage to juice or food during last snack or feeding just prior to bedtime.  Reattach capsule for future use.  Administer NightTime Formula only one time per day just prior to bedtime.  *Important: We do not recommend providing the NightTime Formula with protein sources, i.e. milk, yogurt, baby food meats, ice cream, etc. as protein may interfere with the absorption of nutrients in the NightTime Formula.  Further, protein sources should be avoided one hour before and after providing the NightTime Formula.  The NightTime Formula may be given with juice drinks, canned fruits, applesauce, etc.  If your child is an infant, you may include the NightTime Formula with infant formula and/or breast milk.  Should your child experience a change in sleep patterns, reduce the dosage by one-half or contact us for assistance

  • - Do not  provide your child with any additional vitamin & mineral supplements other than Nutrivene, unless directed by your physician or other healthcare practitioner.
  • - Do not microwave or freeze Nutrivene for any extended periods of time.
  • - Do not leave lid off of Nutrivene for extended periods of time as exposure to oxygen can lessen the potency of vitamins.

For added freshness, Nutrivene may be stored in refrigerator.  In warm and humid environments, Nutrivene should be stored in the refrigerator

February 2nd, 2012

Trisomy 21 Research recommends that individuals who are using Nutrivene have blood testing completed 6 to 12 months after beginning Nutrivene and each year thereafter.  The following blood tests should be completed:

•     Vitamin A (Retinol)

To obtain the most accurate results from your blood test, we recommend following the instructions below.

5 Years of Age and Under

No Nutrivene (Daily Supplement, Daily Enzyme, NightTime Formula) the night before and morning of blood test (If using essential fatty acids and/or Piracetam, these should also be eliminated the night before and morning of blood test)

Over 5 Years of Age

12 hour fasting prior to blood test

No Nutrivene (Daily Supplement, Daily Enzyme, NightTime Formula) the night before and morning of blood test (If using essential fatty acids and/or Piracetam, these should also be eliminated the night before and morning of blood test)

Thyroid Testing – T3, T4, and TSH every year for life

NuTriVene Customer Testimonial #3: Medication for Children With Down Syndrome

January 11th, 2012

My daughter, Chelsea is 6 years old, and has Down syndrome. When she was born, I wasn’t sure where to turn or what to expect. Nutrivene gave me hope for my daughter’s future.

Chelsea attends a private Christian school where she thinks she owns the place! Chelsea was very blessed at birth, not having any heart issues. The only surgery she has needed is eye muscle surgery. Her health at birth, along with being supplemented with the Nutrivene protocol since she was 4 months old, have allowed her to develop like a typical child. Chelsea runs, plays on the playscape, swims, rides her 2-wheeler with training wheels, bowls, goes to Brownie Scouts, and basically tries to do…and usually does…anything that her big sister does! I can not say that Chelsea would not be doing the same things had she not been given Nutrivene, but I can say that taking the supplements has helped her immune system fight off sickness, keeping her healthy, therefore giving her a better opportunity to learn.

Chelsea takes the Nutrivene-D Daily Supplement, probiotics, essential fatty acids, and the recently added gingko biloba supplement. The results have been very encouraging. Her short term memory has improved greatly, to where she can tell me everything,in detail, that she has learned in school, which she attends from 8:30 am-3:00 pm. Her retention of material taught, both in school and during therapy, has greatly increased.

Chelsea is truly a blessing to our family, a little ray of sunshine that carries with her all the hope of the future God has planned for her. It is a never ending battle getting those around her to see and accept her potential. Nutrivene has made that a little easier by helping me keep my child healthy and her brain working and developing all the time. Those who are closet to Chelsea are encouraged by the progress that she so steadily makes and look forward to her bright and thriving future.

NuTriVene Customer Testimonial #2: Medication for Children With Down Syndrome

January 5th, 2012

Jenni-Rose loves to be on stage! Here she is with her friend, Ralph Roddenbery, opening the show singing “Power to the People.”

Events like this keep happening in Jenni-Rose’s life, much to her delight. She’s learned to listen to her instructions, take the stage at the right time and place, do her part, take her bows, and exit gracefully when her moment in the spotlight is over. While on stage she can step up to the microphone and ad lib to get the crowd in the palm of her hand.

I don’t believe any of this would be possible without the help of NuTriVene! It has done so much to help her be focused, alert, and confident – as well as healthy enough to dance and sing for hours on end. What a blessing!

D. Hoffman

NuTriVene Testimonial #1

December 30th, 2011

Our daughter Kaci was born 10 weeks premature in March 1997. My wife and I refused all genetic testing during her pregnancy and did not know Kaci had Down syndrome until it was confirmed she had Trisomy 21 when she was 6 days old. On Mother’s Day of 1997 we attended a seminar on TNI in Hazleton, Pennsylvania and ordered the program the next day.

Kaci started the Nutrivene Program as well as Piracetam 2 weeks before what would have been her full term delivery date and has continued ever since. God has blessed us with an incredible child and we are convinced that Nutrivene has significantly contributed to her remarkable progress. So remarkable that Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania has chosen Kaci to represent them as one of their 2006 Miracle Kids for the Children’s Miracle Network.

We have let many other parents of children with Down syndrome know about Nutrivene and we are also used as a family resource by The Genetics department at Geisinger to be available to talk to other families when requested. We thank you for all the research you’ve undertaken to develop TNI for Kaci. The “proof is in the pudding” is definitely true with Kaci.

C. & J. Gerber

Even More NuTriVene Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

December 23rd, 2011

My child has a history of illnesses including; ear infections, upper respiratory infections, and sinusitis. Will Nutrivene make my child healthier?

Many parents tell us that their children are healthier after beginning Nutrivene. Dr. Lawrence Leichtman, a clinical geneticist, pediatrician, and President of Trisomy 21 Research Foundation, has observed improved growth, immune function, and developmental parameters (speech, gross motor, fine motor, cognitive) in his patients with Down syndrome that have used Nutrivene. Additionally, Dr. M.J. Gelb, a pediatrician from Germany has observed a reduction of infections, increased growth, and a normalization of blood parameters like Selenium, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E.

You recommend providing Nutrivene 3 times per day. Is this necessary?

If providing Nutrivene 3 times per day is not convenient, provide it 2 times per day (divide the total daily dosage in half).

Is Nutrivene a cure for Down syndrome?

Nutrivene is not a cure for Down syndrome. Parents, physicians and therapists (OTs, PTs, etc.) have noted that their children, patients, and clients, respectively, that use Nutrivene seem to be more alert, healthier, and more focused.

Does insurance or Medicaid cover Nutrivene?

Parents have informed us that some insurance companies are covering Nutrivene. Typically this requires a letter of medical necessity from the doctor and a written prescription. We do not bill insurance companies. You would need to submit your International Nutrition invoice along with a claim form to your insurance company. Some states are covering Nutrivene through Medicaid waivers. You should speak with your program services coordinator or caseworker to find out if and/or how you can obtain coverage. Many Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) allow individuals to pay for needed Natural Supplements with pre-tax dollars.

A Few More NuTriVene Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

December 14th, 2011

What age should my infant begin taking Nutrivene?

We have many infants taking the product who are just days old. When providing Nutrivene to an infant, we recommend starting at a significantly reduced dosage and working up to a full dosage over a 1- to 2- week period. Nutrivene should be added directly to infant formula or breastmilk.

How do I give my child Nutrivene?

Nutrivene is available in capsule and powdered forms that mix with foods and drinks. A new, better tasting powdered formula was introduced that mixes easily in foods.

Does Nutrivene have any side effects?

Some children experience loose stools with the Daily Enzyme product. Should this happen, we would recommend that your child’s dosage be reduced by one-half. Additionally, some children do not like the taste of Daily Supplement. We have several forms of the Daily Supplement including a Microencapsulated Powder form that has a reduced vitamin taste and mixes well with many foods. We also have a list of taste enhancing suggestions so usually any issues with taste can be minimized.

Do I need a prescription for Nutrivene?

Nutrivene is a dietary supplement that does not require a prescription.

Is Nutrivene FDA-approved?

Nutrivene is not a drug and does not require FDA (Food & Drug Administration) approval. However, as a dietary supplement, Nutrivene does fall under the auspices of the FDA. Nutrivene products are manufactured in a licensed U.S. pharmaceutical facility.
