Supporting the Nutritional Management Needs of the Rare Disease Community Through Medical Foods

Pentec Health understands the critical role of medical foods tailored to individuals living with inherited metabolic disorders and other rare diseases.

Our medical foods are offered through ZOIA Pharma, a Pentec company, which has over two decades of expertise providing exceptional service to patients with Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEMs) and other rare diseases. ZOIA Pharma provides a broad portfolio of medical foods and is the only provider in the U.S. exclusively focused on the rare disease community. 

Medical foods are not ordinary. They are formulated and designed to meet specific dietary requirements that cannot be satisfied through regular diet alone and their nutrients, ingredients and proportions are individualized to each patient. These products often are available as powders, liquids and bars and can be used only under medical supervision1, forming the cornerstone of a comprehensive management plan for various conditions or diseases.

Metabolic center clinicians can rely on Pentec’s medical food offerings for patients with inherited metabolic disorders including but not limited to phenylketonuria (PKU), homocystinuria (HCU), tyrosinemia (TYR), glutaric aciduria (GA), urea cycle disorders (UCDs) and maple syrup urine disease (MSUD).
