PKU sphere 20

Managing phenylketonuria means measuring nearly every gram of protein, and the metallic aftertaste of traditional amino acid formulas is one of the biggest reasons people skip doses. PKU sphere 20 was built to solve exactly that. It uses glycomacropeptide (GMP) rather than free amino acids, giving it a milder, more palatable taste that makes daily protein substitution genuinely easier to stick with — for a school-age child, a teenager, or an adult who has been on formula for decades.

This collection features the Vitaflo PKU sphere 20 Oral Supplement, a powdered protein substitute delivering 20 grams of protein equivalent and 120 calories per 35-gram single-serve packet. It's formulated for ages 3 years and up, from pediatric through adult, and is fortified with vitamins, minerals, and DHA to support balanced nutrition alongside a phenylalanine-restricted diet.

Because it's GMP-based, sphere 20 naturally contains a small amount of phenylalanine, so it's counted into your daily phe allowance under the guidance of your metabolic dietitian. The individual packets simplify dosing and portability — mix with the recommended amount of water and shake, no measuring scoops required, which makes it practical for lunchboxes, work bags, and travel.

If you're comparing options within the Vitaflo range, it helps to know how the formats differ. PKU express 20 is another GMP-based powder in a comparable protein tier, while PKU gel and PKU air offer alternative textures for those who prefer a semi-solid or lighter consistency. Households managing multiple age groups or preferences often keep a PKU trio variety on hand. Your clinic can advise which protein level and format best fit your prescribed phenylalanine intake and lifestyle.
