DESCRIPTION

Xizflus is an orally-administered nutritional product dispensed by prescription for the clinical dietary management of suboptimal hydrogen sulfide levels related to metabolic imbalances in endogenous hydrogen sulfide biochemistry. Use under medical supervision.

INGREDIENTS
Each Xizflus serving contains:
Sodium polysulthionate‡ 400 mg
5-methyltetrahydrofolate 500 mcg

‡ Proprietary matrix of alpha sulfur, sodium sulfate, sodium thiosulfate obtained by reacting sodium hydrosulfide with sodium metabisulfite in an acidic medium

INDICATION

Xizflus is indicated for the distinct nutritional requirements of certain individuals with suboptimal endogenous hydrogen sulfide levels that cannot be corrected through diet alone, with a particular emphasis in persons who have inborn errors of cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS), cystathione gamma-lyase (CSE), and/or 3-mercaptopyruvatesulfurtransferase (3-MST). Clinical dietary management in patients who, as a result of a condition or disease, have limited or impaired capacity to ingest, digest, absorb, or metabolize ordinary foodstuffs or certain nutrients associated with endogenous hydrogen sulfide biochemistry. Use under medical supervision.1-6

In patients with suboptimal hydrogen sulfide levels, and as determined by your licensed medical practitioner, Xizflus may be administered as rescue or adjunctive nutritional therapy to address the risk of suboptimal hydrogen sulfide which can lead to oxidative stress, inflammatory, and/or vascular complications.1-4 The adjunctive use of Xizflus enables medical practitioners to combine therapeutic modalities (dietary management and drug therapy).1

Contraindications

Xizflus is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components contained in this product.

Warnings and Precautions

GENERAL
Sulfur, by itself, is not toxic to our bodies. However, some people are allergic to relatives of sulfur such as sulfites and sulfa drugs. Certain sulfites can trigger asthma and other allergic reactions in people who are sensitive. Sulfa drugs can cause hypoglycemia (lo
