The nutritional supplement TopNutri® should preferably be added to the food just before it is eaten, but cooking a few minutes will not drastically affect the vitamin content of the product. It can be used in porridge, family pot type of food, soups and other dishes where the product can be distributed evenly.
TopNutri® can be used from 6 months of age. Recommended dosage is 7½ g per day or 1 sachet of 52.5g per week per child up to 8 years of age. For older children you may use up to 1½ sachets (52,5g) per week and for adults, lactating mothers and pregnant women you may use up to 2 sachets (52,5g) per week.
| Age | Daily intake | Weekly intake | |
| 6 months - 8 years | 7.5 g | 1 sachet | |

> 8 years |

Smaller amounts of TopNutri® will still significantly enhance the food’s quality. If the family shares the food, use 1 sachet of 52.5g per family per day.
Use 7½ g (a toped tablespoon) of TopNutri® to e.g. 300-500g of food.
Make adjustments of the dosage based on trials with thelocal food in question.
Be aware that in order to receive the intended amount of TopNutri®, the children must eat the whole portion of food.
You do not have to use exactly the same amount of TopNutri® every day, but it is important to respect the target dosage each week, e.g. 1 sachet of 52.5g per week for a child.
