The Phenylalanine Free 2 Nutritional Supplement is designed for individuals with PKU, an inherited disorder that will cause the common amino acid, phenylalanine, to build-up within the body, leading to serious health problems.
For their entire life, people with PKU need to follow a diet that limits phenylalanine commonly found in foods that contain protein. This nutritional supplement is a specifically formulated power that is usually mixed with water and drank by a person with PKU.
The powder is used to supplement his diet with phenylalanine-free protein (22 grams protein equivalents/100 grams of powder), as well as essential amino acids(except for phenylalanine), fat and essential fatty acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
The powder mixes well with water and will stay suspended for quite some time before settling to the bottom of the glass and is lactose-free with a nice natural vanilla scent.
If the user would like to mix the powder with a liquid other than water, he should consult this physician. The user should only use this nutritional supplement under the direct and continuing supervision of a doctor.
