Hi
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting your query on XXXXXXX
Protinex is nutritional supplement that is advised in conditions where low body weight or inadequate nutrition is an issue. It may also be advised when the person is dealing with a chronic condition like diabetes, etc.
Since it is a nutritional supplement, it should be taken along with regular food and is not meant to replace it.
For the person in discussion here, it can be taken in low doses. In the presence of joint pains, weight gain due to the supplement can become an issue for her and may deteriorate her pains. Thus if you can tell me the weight and height of the person and the reason for considering Protinex use, I will be better able to help you.
