Important notice:

Only to be used by individuals with proven phenylketonuria (PKU) and hyperphenylalaninaemia (HPA).

Precautions: This product should not be used as a sole source of protein but must be given in conjunction with natural protein and other nutrients to supply the phenylalanine, fluid and general nutrition requirements of the patient in medically prescribed quantities.

Suggested intake: The recommended intake should be determined by a clinician or dietitian only, and is dependent on age, bodyweight, and medical condition of the patient. Additional water or diluted drinks must be consumed at the same time.

Recommended feed concentration:
It is recommended that the patient starts at a 1 to 7 dilution (e.g. 10g + 70ml water) and builds up to a 1 to 5 dilution as tolerance increases.

  • 1 levelled scoop = 34.5g powder

Paste the prescribed quantity of powder with a small amount of water before gradual dilution to final volume.
