Casein glycomacropeptide for medical nutrition

Lacprodan^® CGMP-20 is a highly purified casein glycomacropeptide product with a very low level of the amino acid phenylalanine. Lacprodan^® CGMP-20 furthermore contains a very high level of large neutral amino acids, such as threonine and isoleucine, which compete for uptake into the brain with phenylalanine.

Lacprodan^® CGMP-20 is therefore an outstanding protein source for people with phenylketonuria (PKU) since these patients are not able to metabolize phenylalanine efficiently.

CGMP for PKU nutrition

The current PKU diet consists of a low protein diet and free amino acids supplements to limit the patient’s intake of phenylalanine. Partial substitution of free amino acids with Lacprodan^® CGMP-20 provides additional benefits, such as:

• Improved compliance due to better palatability
• Improved satiety
• Potentially improved bone health
• Potentially improved gut health

Due to its low content of aromatic amino acids, casein glycomacropeptide is also a suitable dietary supplement for patients with hepatic diseases and tyrosinemia.
