Phenyl-Free 2 — Phenylalanine-Free Medical Food for PKU
Phenyl-Free 2 is a specially formulated medical-food powder designed for children and adults diagnosed with Phenylketonuria (PKU), who must follow a diet very low in the amino acid phenylalanine. It provides a comprehensive blend of nutrients—carbohydrates, fats, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and all amino acids except phenylalanine—helping support growth, metabolism and overall nutrition while conforming to the unique dietary needs of PKU.
Key Features & Benefits
- Phenylalanine-free formula — Contains no added phenylalanine, making it appropriate for individuals managing PKU under clinical supervision.
- Complete nutrient profile — Alongside amino acids (excluding phenylalanine), the formulation includes carbohydrates, fats (including essential fatty acids), vitamins and minerals to help fill nutritional gaps common in low-protein PKU diets.
- Adapted for children and adults — Suitable for a wide age range, offering flexibility in dietary management across life stages.
- Vanilla-scented powder, easy to mix — Has a pleasant vanilla aroma, mixes well into liquids and can be enhanced with permitted flavorings to improve taste and compliance.
- Lower calories & fat compared to earlier version — Designed with reduced fat and total energy in mind to better suit dietary management of PKU.
How to Use
- Use only under the guidance and supervision of a metabolic specialist or dietitian.
- The exact dosage (grams of powder, volume of liquid) will depend on the individual’s age, weight, metabolic status and phenylalanine tolerance.
- To prepare: measure the prescribed amount of powder, mix with the correct volume of water or approved beverage, stir until well blended and consume promptly.
- Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place; once opened, keep tightly covered and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for expiration and use.
Important Things to Know
- Phenyl-Free 2 is a medical food intended specifically for the dietary management of PKU and must be used under direct and continuing medical supervision.
- It is nutritionally incomplete without additional sources of phenylalanine (as prescribed by the clinician) and other components of the diet; it cannot be the sole source of nutrition.
- Regular monitoring (e.g., blood phenylalanine levels, growth, nutritional status) is required when using this product.
- Not intended for individuals without PKU or for general nutrition use.
- Always follow detailed preparation and storage instructions to ensure safety and nutritional integrity.
