                                Phenylketonuria (PKU), an inherited metabolic disorder, affects approximately 1 in 10,000 to 15,000 newborns in the United States, necessitating lifelong management to control phenylalanine levels. For individuals with PKU, learning how to reduce phenylalanine levels is critical to prevent severe health and cognitive complications.
