HCY 2 Child to Adult Medical Food for Homocystinuria

Mead Johnson HCY 2 Medical Food Methionine-Free Powder provides nutrition for both children and adults with an inherited disorder called homocystinuria. This nutritional product should be given under the direction of a doctor for those diagnosed with homocystinuria, a disorder that prevents the body from breaking down methionine amino acid derived from protein. HCY 2 Unflavored Powder Medical Food for Homocystinuria provides an easy way to supplement the diet with other essential amino acids with additional carbohydrates, fat, fatty acids, and essential vitamins and minerals. The fat source is derived from soy oil, which also supplies omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. The powder has a light vanilla scent and mixes easily into water or juice for oral consumption. If not immediately consumed, cover and refrigerate for storage and consume the beverage within 48 hours.
