PKU GMPower

• Contains Glycomacropeptide (GMP) from a natural protein source.
• Provides a palatable alternative to protein substitutes based entirely on amino acids.
• Contains a full range of micronutrients, essential fatty acids (DHA & EPA) and is available in a choice of flavours.
• Can be easily mixed with water in a shaker similar to other shakes.
• Each can contains a scoop for easy measuring.

Pour the required amount of water into a shaker

Add the recommended amount of PKU GMPower using the scoop provided. For great accuracy the product can be weighed using a gram scale.

For guidance to make 10g of protein equivalent from GMPower:

1. Add 60-90mls of water to a shaker
2. Add 6 scoops (10g PE) of GMPower
3. Secure lid and shake well
4. Consume immediately

Glycomacropeptide (GMP) is a protein naturally low in phenylalanine. Protein substitutes based on GMP are regularly perceived to be more palatable than those based on amino acids^1,2. Palatability of protein substitutes is key to compliance,³ making GMP an ideal alternative protein source for Phenylketonuria (PKU).
