KetoCal 4:1 LQ — Ready-to-Feed Ketogenic Formula for Therapeutic Nutrition
KetoCal 4:1 LQ is a highly specialized, ready-to-drink liquid formula crafted for individuals who require a ketogenic diet for medical management. With a strict 4:1 fat to (carbohydrate + protein) ratio, it supports nutritional therapy for conditions such as drug-resistant epilepsy, Glucose Transporter Type 1 Deficiency Syndrome (Glut1), and Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Deficiency (PDHD) from age 1 and up.
Key Features & Benefits
- 4:1 ketogenic ratio (fat : carbohydrate + protein) — ensures the formula supports the metabolic needs associated with therapeutic ketogenic diets.
- Nutritionally complete — supplies essential vitamins, minerals, trace elements, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (DHA, ARA), and fiber in a liquid format.
- Ready-to-feed liquid — convenient for both oral intake and tube feeding, reducing preparation time and simplifying administration.
- Flexible age range — designed for children aged 1-10 years as a sole source of nutrition; can also be used for supplemental feeding beyond 10 years.
- Quality fat blend — uses high-oleic sunflower, soy, and palm oils, plus enriched with DHA and ARA to support growth and neurological development.
How & When to Use
- Medical supervision required — This product is intended for use under the guidance of a clinician or dietitian experienced in ketogenic therapies.
- Ready-to-use — Shake the carton well before opening; for oral use, serve chilled; for tube feeding, flush tubes with warm water (~37 °C) between feeds.
- Storage — Store unopened cartons at 4-25 °C (39-77 °F) in a cool, dry place. Do not freeze. Once opened, follow product label guidelines for use timeframe.
Important Considerations
- For enteral use only (oral or tube feeding); not for parenteral (IV) administration.
