Description
Minaphlex is a palatable phenylalanine free drink mix containing essential and non-essential amino acids, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Available in Unflavoured, Pineapple & Vanilla or Chocolate flavour (contains colour, sugar and sweeteners). A food for special medical purposes.
Indications and Prescribability
Minaphlex can be used in the dietary management of children aged 1 - 10 years with proven phenylketonuria (PKU). It contains a balanced blend of essential fatty acids (4:1 ratio). Children with PKU often have a diet high in linoleic acid and thus low levels of α-LA* and DHA††1. Initial trial results indicate that the use of Minaphlex may help improve α-LA status2.
Suggested Intake
The quantity of Minaphlex should be determined by a clinician or a dietitian only and is dependent on the age, body weight and medical condition of the patient.
The diet must be supplemented with natural protein and other nutrients in medically prescribed quantities to meet the phenylalanine and general nutrient requirements of the patient.

The recommended dilution is 100ml of water plus 1 sachet (29g) of Minaphlex.
Minaphlex is easy to mix:
