Age
mBIOTA Elemental is not intended for use in children under the age of 12.

Pregnancy & Nursing
mBIOTA Elemental is not intended for use during pregnancy or while nursing.

Blood Sugar & Metabolic Conditions
By their nature, all elemental diets are carbohydrate dominant. For this reason, we advise caution when considering this diet for patients with Diabetes, Pre-diabetes, or any history of unstable blood sugar regulation. The absorption profile of elemental diets means blood sugar impact can be more pronounced than with standard diets, and we'd recommend that any patient with a glucose management concern be evaluated carefully before starting.
