EXTENDED INTO JUNE!

This glass of 🥛 contains 8g of protein. For most people, it’s a healthy drink - particularly for children - but for those living with a protein IEMs like PKU, this glass of milk contains all the protein able to be safely consumed in one day. Going over a set amount of protein can have serious health consequences.
You can learn more about and support those living with this rare disease by taking The Great Protein Challenge!
Head to the bio for the link to PLAY or PLEDGE - it’s just for 24 hours during February!
