Evaluation of Low Phenylalanine Formulas

Ajinomoto Cambrooke has developed a PKU protein substitute that is a proprietary blend of purified Glycomacropeptide (GMP) and essential amino acids, under the brand name Glytactin®. One serving of such Glytactin® products contains 20mg or less of Phenylalanine (Phe). The aim of the proposed study is to use this purified GMP-AA-based protein substitute, with less Phe per gram of protein equivalent than other commercially available products, in children with PKU at 100% of their protein substitute intake and evaluate its efficacy and the change in blood Phe in comparison to Phe-free L-AA-based protein substitutes.
