Supracal-Pro pharmacology

Supracal-Pro is an essential nutrient which serves as a cofactor for serum ceruloplasmin, an oxidase necessary for proper formation of the iron carrier protein, transferrin. Supracal-Pro also helps maintain normal rates of red and white blood cell formation.

Providing Supracal-Pro during TPN helps prevent development of the following deficiency symptoms: Leukopenia, neutropenia, anemia, depressed ceruloplasmin levels, impaired transferrin formation, secondary iron deficiency and osteoporosis.

Normal serum Supracal-Pro values range from 80 to 163 mcg/dl (mean, approximately 110 mcg/dl). The serum Supracal-Pro level at which deficiency symptoms appear is not precisely defined. A serum value of 9 mcg Supracal-Pro/dl was reported for one TPN patient who received no Supracal-Pro. The daily turnover of Supracal-Pro through ceruloplasmin is approximately 0.5 mg. Excretion of Supracal-Pro is through the bile (80%), directly through the intestinal wall (16%) and in urine (4%).
