Description
Liquigen — Specialized MCT Energy Emulsion for Targeted Nutritional Support
When standard fats and nutrition aren’t suitable — due to malabsorption, metabolic disorders, or medical dietary needs — Liquigen provides a powerful, medically formulated alternative. It’s an emulsified oil designed to deliver energy via medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), offering a gentle, efficient fat source that’s easier to digest and absorb.
What Liquigen Does
- High-energy MCT emulsion — A blend of ~ 50% MCT oil and 50% water; every 100 mL provides ~ 450 kcal, making Liquigen an effective energy booster for people needing extra calories without relying on long-chain fats.
- Fat absorption support — Especially helpful for patients with impaired fat digestion or absorption (like short-bowel syndrome, fat malabsorption, chylothorax, cystic fibrosis, or long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders).
- Compatible with ketogenic and specialized diets — Frequently used in medically supervised ketogenic diets, or any dietary regimens requiring high MCT intake but low long-chain fat consumption.
- Versatile & easy to use — Can be used alone, mixed into feeds, beverages, or meals, or added to tube-feeding formulas. Suitable for infants, children, and adults (though children under 5 yrs may require dilution).
Ideal For
- Liquigen is especially useful for:
- Individuals with fat-malabsorption disorders, short-bowel syndrome, or other GI impairments
- Patients on ketogenic or MCT-based diets, often for metabolic disorders or epilepsy
- Those needing high-calorie, easy-absorbed fat without the digestive burden of long-chain triglycerides
- Use in tube feeding or sip feeds, when conventional nutrition isn’t tolerated
- Infants, children, or adults under medical supervision, for special dietary management
Important Use Guidelines
- Medical supervision required — Liquigen is a medical food intended for therapeutic dietary management, not a general-use supplement.
- Not a complete nutrition source — Should be added to a broader nutritional plan, not used alone.
- Storage & handling: Shake well before use; once opened, store refrigerated and use within 14 days.
- Age considerations: May require dilution for children under 5 years.
