Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare metabolic disorder. People with PKU cannot metabolise phenylalanine, an amino acid found in protein foods.

Share PKU dietary updates, along with news, research and advice articles. 

NSPKU is supported by our members and fundraisers. You can join NSPKU to support our work and join our community.
