PKU cooler – Ready-to-Drink, Phenylalanine-Free Protein Substitute for Phenylketonuria (PKU)
PKU cooler is a carefully designed, phenylalanine-free medical-food drink tailored for individuals aged 3 years and older living with PKU. It offers a convenient, portable alternative to powdered amino acid formulas—ideal for school, travel or everyday use under clinical supervision.
Key Features & Benefits
- Phenylalanine-free / very low Phe: Each drink is formulated without added phenylalanine, helping support strict dietary management of PKU.
- Protein-equivalent options: Available in three pouch sizes providing ~10 g, 15 g or 20 g of protein equivalent — for flexibility to match individual dietary plans.
- Complete nutrient profile: Contains a blend of essential and non-essential amino acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) to help fill nutrient gaps in a low-protein diet.
- Portable, ready-to-drink format: Comes in flavored pouches (Red, Orange, Purple) that are ready to drink — no mixing needed — making it convenient for daily life.
How to Use
- Used only under guidance of a metabolic dietitian or physician for individuals with PKU.
- Select the pouch size (e.g., 15 g or 20 g protein equivalent) as prescribed, shake well, open and drink. Best served chilled.
- After opening, refrigerate if not consumed immediately and use within 24 hours.
- Part of the full PKU dietary plan: natural-protein exchanges, carbs/fats, appropriate fluids and regular monitoring remain essential.
Important Things to Know
- PKU cooler is a food for special medical purposes intended for the dietary management of PKU, and must be used under medical supervision.
- It is not intended as the sole source of nutrition — other nutrients and natural-protein allowances must be included according to your specialist’s plan.
- Age suitability: from 3 years upwards (as directed by clinician).
- Contains ingredients such as fish oil (tuna-derived) and soy-lecithin—check for allergies.
