£ The diet has high levels of water soluble vitamins in order to compensate for increased urinary losses caused by the use of diuretics in heart patients. £ Zinc is a cofactor in the enzymatic conversion of ammonia to urea and can reduce catabolism of protein in muscles. The increased level of zinc in SPECIFIC TM CKW Heart & Kidney Support can contribute to the reduction of hyperammonaemia in liver patients. £ The copper content in SPECIFIC TM CKW Heart & Kidney Support is reduced because copper excretion may be compromised in patients with liver diseases. £ The exceptional palatability of SPECIFIC TM CKW Heart & Kidney Support maximises the chance of the nutritional requirements being met, even if the patient has a poor appetite.
