PKU and you

Taking charge of your life, diet and health

You may have thought that you could quit worrying about Phe when you grew up. But today, we know that high Phe causes problems for teens and adults, not just children.1

Many studies show that high Phe is bad for the brain throughout life. Too much Phe can make it harder to think. It can make you more moody. High Phe makes it hard to focus and pay attention and can even slow down your ability to react.1,3,4,5

PKU adults & teens must be aware of their Phe intake

Keeping Phe low is something you'll want to do for life. It is how you can be your best every day.1,2
