Description
DuoCal® — Modular Energy Powder for High-Calorie, Low-Protein Nutrition
DuoCal® is a specialized, unflavored powdered medical food designed to add extra calories without protein into foods and beverages—ideal for patients and children on protein-restricted diets, malabsorptive states, or when extra energy is needed with fluid and electrolyte restrictions.
Key Features & Benefits
- Protein-free and high in calories: DuoCal is formulated with a blend of carbohydrate and fat (including medium-chain triglycerides) and contains no protein, making it suitable for protein-restricted diets and disorders of amino acid metabolism.
- Easy to mix and neutral taste: The super soluble, flavorless powder blends seamlessly into liquids, soft foods, or feeding formulas without altering taste or texture—making it convenient for tube or oral feeding.
- Low electrolyte load & flexible use: Designed for high-energy, low-fluid, low-electrolyte nutritional needs, such as post-trauma, burns, or malabsorption states.
Important Things to Know
- Not nutritionally complete: This is a modular product meant to add calories—not to replace full nutrition. Use under supervision of a healthcare provider.
- Intended for specific medical conditions: Especially useful in protein-restricted, amino acid metabolic disorders, malabsorptive states, or when fluid and electrolyte intake must be limited.
- Allergen information: Dairy-free and made in a protein-free facility, but always verify for individual patient sensitivities.
- Storage & handling: Store opened cans in a cool, dry place and use within the time frame specified. Always follow preparation guidelines for safe use.
