The Nutrition you Need, The Taste You Deserve!
Managing phenylketonuria (PKU) goes far beyond simply restricting phenylalanine (PHE) intake. While keeping blood phenylalanine levels low is essential for brain health and function, it’s also important to focus on your child’s overall nutritional needs. Children with PKU require a balanced diet to support growth, development, and daily energy requirements.
This means paying attention to meals and snacks to ensure that the food they eat contributes positively to their PKU diet requirements. Specialized PKU formulas are often the primary source of protein and essential nutrients for children with PKU, so formula choice matters. These formulas, like PhenylAde® GMP Drink Mix, often provide necessary vitamins, minerals, and the calories needed to help support growth and development.
What Makes PhenylAde® GMP Drink Mix Different?
- Glycomacropeptide (GMP)
Unlike traditional amino acid-based formulas, PhenylAde GMP Drink Mix includes GMP, which is made from a whole protein sourced from milk. GMP is special because it contains very little phenylalanine naturally, which is important for kids with PKU - Key Nutrients: PhenylAde GMP Drink Mix includes key vitamins and minerals to support your child’s nutrient needs. Because kids with PKU have to avoid many high-protein foods, it’s important that their formula fills in the gaps. This drink mix is high in calcium and vitamin D, two nutrients that support strong bones and teeth. It also includes DHA, a nutrient often lacking in PKU diets, and fiber to help support digestive health.
- Great Taste: One of the biggest challenges for parents is finding a formula their child will actually enjoy. PhenylAde GMP Drink Mix comes in Plain and Vanilla, 2 delicious flavors that kids will love.
Why Parents Choose PhenylAde GMP
- Diet Adherence: One of the biggest challenges for families managing PKU is making sure children consistently drink their formula. When kids like the taste, they’re probably more likely to drink their formula, which helps them get the nutrition they need and turn formula time into an easy routine instead of a struggle.
- Developed by Experts: PhenylAde GMP Drink Mix is developed by Nutricia, a global leader in medical nutrition.
