PFD 2 Vanilla Medical Food — Dietary Management of Amino Acid Metabolic Disorders

Managing an amino acid metabolic disorder requires precise nutritional support — and that means eliminating the specific amino acids that the body cannot process while still meeting all other caloric and micronutrient needs. PFD 2 (Protein-Free Diet 2) from Mead Johnson is a nonessential amino acid-free powdered medical food formulated to do exactly that. Designed for children and adults with disorders such as maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), phenylketonuria (PKU), and other inborn errors of amino acid metabolism, PFD 2 provides a flexible, dietitian-directed nutritional base that complements prescribed amino acid supplements.
