SSIEM

September 08, 2008

The SSIEM (Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism) put on another great symposium in Lisbon. They do this every year to discuss the latest results of scientific investigation related to Inborn Errors of Metabolism.

This year was also the 100th anniversary of the introduction of the concept of Inborn Errors of Metabolism by Sir Archibald Garrod. He presented Inborn Errors of Metabolism to the Royal College of Physicians in 1908. It was over 50 years later before his work was taken seriously.

Nutricia gave the delegates an insight into the New Improved Anamix range. This will provide nutrition from infancy through to adulthood. The new extended Anamix family will also cover conditions such as Tyrosinaemia and MSUD. This will be the most complete range of protein substitutes containing EFAs, to promote healthy growth and maximise potential.

They also presented the new Anamix Junior LQ: the first ready to drink protein substitute containing omega 3 in Berry and Orange flavours.
