What is GMP?

Glycomacropeptide (GMP) is a protein with a low phenylalanine content. Protein substitutes based on GMP are frequently viewed as more appetising than amino acid-based proteins. Protein substitute palatability is critical for compliance, making GMP an ideal alternative protein source for Phenylketonuria (PKU).
