Summer recap with !

Nicole has been having a lot of exciting adventures this summer. After switching to PKU sphere® liquid in May, she was kind enough to share this updated PKU formula review and show us how it has been fitting into her life.

Some key features that are working for her include:
-20 g of protein equivalent in one 8 oz bottle
-Low in added sugar at just 1 tsp per bottle
-Actually tastes good :-D

If you're looking for new PKU formula ideas that are travel-friendly, hiking-friendly and fit into a life on the go, this is the PKU sphere review you need to watch.

There's something so powerful about being in a room with people who just get it. That's what our Community Conference is all about!

During our conference in July, we held a closed breakout session just for adults with PKU. This group came together for real talk, real advice and the kind of connection that's hard to find anywhere else.

Together, they created a virtual Wall of Wisdom you can revisit anytime. Take a look here: https://bit.ly/3UEBg5g

This support and connection doesn't end at the conference! We invite you to join our virtual Community Calls, held monthly for anyone who wants to learn, share or simply connect with others who understand: npkua.org/support/
