Advanced Protocol™ Verified Casein Diet 1 IF is a natural ingredient diet, formulated to be used in experimental protocols where dietary estrogenic activity is a concern. Recommended for rats, mice and hamsters, it meets the nutrient specifications as shown for NIH-31 in the 1996 update. NIH-31 is usually autoclaved, however 5K96 had some adjustments made to the vitamin content in order to compensate for the different levels in vitamin destruction when comparing irradiation and autoclaving. It is a complete diet designed to be fed free choice. 

Features and Benefits
blkdot.gif (828 bytes) 5K96 consistently analyzes at less then 1.0 ppm total isoflavones (aglycone equivalents of genistein, daidzein and glycitein), while other natural ingredient laboratory rodent diets contain higher levels.
