Folic Acid Deficient Diet
Most vitamin deficient diets use vitamin-free test casein (VFT
casein) as the protein source. VFT casein is casein that has been
extracted with denatured alcohol to reduce the fat content from
about 1% to 0.1%. In the process the content of a number of
vitamins (present at low or trace levels in casein) is further
reduced, making this an ideal protein source for these types of
diets. Harlan produces our own VFT in-house, and we also offer
this as an ingredient for those mixing their own diets.
From this vitamin deficient base, various levels of vitamins can
be added back. Many formulas adjust multiple vitamins, and other
nutrients.
If use of an intact protein source is not advisable, an amino acid
defined diet can be used.
