Taking PKU Golike

Formula that can flex

PKU GOLIKE’s premeasured packets can easily be mixed into meals and smoothies. And because the amino acids are coated, they won’t add any unwanted flavors or smells.

Ready to GOLIKE? Simply open the packet, mix the granules with your favorite food, and GO.
It’s ready in seconds.

Mixing for the first time?

Here are some tips to get the best result:

Let texture be your guide

Since the granules, by design, aren’t meant to dissolve, foods with texture—like applesauce or smoothies with seedy fruits—mix best.

Just like PKU GOLIKE’s amino acids, take it slow

For your first few meals, mix in only 1 or 2 tablespoons. Gradually add more granules to each new meal until you’re ready for the whole packet.

Consult with your metabolic clinician for guidance on how to use PKU GOLIKE.

Here are some other things to keep in mind to help you get the most out of your medical formula:
