n the future, Ney thinks this protein could replace about half of a persons daily dose of the amino acid drink. Most people with PKU drink two or three cups per day. By consuming a glycomacropeptide-fortified pudding cup, fruit roll or sports drink, they may be able to drink just one or two.

This is exactly what Ann Zimmerman of Middleton, Wis. would like to see. Her 10-year old daughter Jessica recently began refusing to drink her amino acid drink at school, after getting teased a few times. While we wait for treatments that address the underlying problem of PKU, says Zimmerman, glycomacropeptide is what we need.
