What is GMP:
GMP is a protein that is naturally low in tyrosine and phenylalanine. Protein substitutes based on GMP are frequently viewed as more appetizing than amino acid-based proteins. Because the palatability of protein substitutes is crucial for compliance, GMP is an excellent alternative protein source to amino acids for Tyrosinaemia. As a result, GMP is an excellent alternate protein source for Phenylketonuria (PKU).
