May is PKU Awareness Month! 💙 Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder that affects how the body processes phenylalanine—an amino acid found in nearly all foods, especially those high in protein. Without treatment, phenylalanine can build up and lead to severe intellectual disability. But thanks to early diagnosis through newborn screening, individuals with PKU can live full, healthy lives. With a low-protein diet, medical formulas, and ongoing support, families facing PKU are navigating this rare diagnosis with strength and resilience.
