HCY 2 Medical Food — Methionine-Free Nutrition Designed for Homocystinuria

HCY 2 is a specialized medical food powder created for the dietary management of individuals with documented Homocystinuria (an inherited metabolic disorder requiring strict methionine restriction). It provides a full profile of essential and non-essential amino acids except methionine, plus carbohydrates, fats (including essential fatty acids), and important vitamins and minerals — all under the supervision of a metabolic specialist.

Key Features & Benefits

• Methionine-free formula: HCY 2 contains zero methionine, enabling dietary management of homocystinuria where methionine accumulation must be prevented.
• Comprehensive nutrition base: Provides ~22 g protein equivalent per 100 g of powder, along with vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids — supporting overall nutrition while restricting methionine.
• Vanilla-scented and easily flavored: The powder has a light vanilla scent and can be enhanced with permissible flavorings to improve taste and compliance.
• Suitable for children and adults: Designed for individuals aged 3 years and older (or as directed by a metabolic dietitian or physician) who require this metabolic dietary management.
• Lactose-friendly and mixes well: Formulated to be suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance and mixes easily into permitted liquids or foods.

How to Use

• This product must be used only under the supervision of a metabolic care team — a physician and dietitian experienced in amino-acid disorders.
• The exact dosage and preparation will depend on your personal metabolic profile, weight, age and blood amino-acid targets.
• To prepare: measure the prescribed amount of HCY 2 powder; mix with the correct volume of water or allowable beverage; shake/stir until fully blended; consume immediately or refrigerate (as per instructions) and use within 48 hours.
• Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place; once opened, keep tightly closed, store dry, and use within the timeframe specified (typically 1 month).

Important Considerations

• HCY 2 is a medical food for special medical purposes, not a general nutritional supplement. It must be used under direct and continuing medical supervision.
• It is nutritionally incomplete as it lacks methionine — additional dietary planning is required to ensure adequate nutrition according to your metabolic care plan.
• Regular monitoring (blood amino-acid levels, nutritional status, metabolic markers) is essential when using this product.
• Not intended for use in individuals without homocystinuria, or without the guidance of a metabolic specialist.
• Always follow mixing, storage and usage instructions precisely to ensure safety and efficacy.
