Low Isoleucine Diet: Managing Hyperisoleucinemia For Optimal Health

A low isoleucine diet is a specialized dietary approach used to manage hyperisoleucinemia, a condition caused by an overabundance of the amino acid isoleucine. By limiting the intake of isoleucine-rich foods, the diet aims to reduce isoleucine levels in the body, mitigating symptoms such as developmental delays, seizures, and metabolic complications. The diet involves strict protein restriction and careful monitoring of food sources, aiming to prevent further imbalances and improve overall health outcomes.
