PKU sphere Liquid — Ready-to-Drink GMP-Based Formula for Phenylketonuria (PKU)
PKU sphere Liquid is a convenient, low-phenylalanine (Phe) medical food designed for managing Phenylketonuria. Each 8 fl oz (237 mL) carton provides 20 g protein equivalent from glycomacropeptide (GMP), with only ~30 mg Phe-load, making it an effective and user-friendly protein substitute for individuals ages 3 years and up.
Key Features & Benefits
- GMP-based protein source: Uses glycomacropeptide (GMP) derived from milk whey—naturally very low in phenylalanine—offering a smoother taste alternative to traditional amino-acid based formulas.
- 20 g protein equivalent in a single carton: One 237 mL serving supplies 20 g PE, helping users meet their daily protein needs with minimal volume.
- Low phenylalanine load (~30 mg): Enables safer protein intake for PKU patients, supporting metabolic control with ease.
- All-in-one ready-to-drink format: Comes in a resealable carton, ideal for school, work, travel or daily use—requires no mixing.
- Micronutrient enriched: Includes a full complement of vitamins, minerals and DHA to help cover nutrient gaps common in PKU diets.
How to Use
- Shake well before opening the resealable carton.
- Open and consume the full 237 mL serving (or as prescribed by your metabolic dietitian).
- May be consumed as is or mixed with permitted flavouring under dietitian guidance.
- Designed to be used as part of a low-phe diet under medical supervision.
- Store unopened in a cool, dry area; after opening, follow the label instructions to use promptly.
Important Considerations
- This is a medical food intended for the dietary management of PKU—it must be used under medical supervision.
- Not designed as a sole source of nutrition; users must follow their prescribed dietary plan in full.
- Phenylalanine tolerance, protein needs and overall diet vary by individual; always follow your metabolic specialist’s guidance.
- Contains milk protein (from whey) so ensure it’s safe for your dietary/medical plan.
- Keep out of reach of children when not used; follow storage and handling instructions.
