Description
KetoCal 2.5 : 1 LQ — Ready-to-Feed Liquid for Therapeutic Ketogenic Nutrition
KetoCal 2.5 : 1 LQ is a medically formulated, ready-to-serve liquid nutrition product designed for individuals aged 8 years and older who require a ketogenic diet for the management of drug-resistant epilepsy or related metabolic conditions. Its precisely measured 2.5 : 1 ratio of fat to (carbohydrate + protein) supports therapeutic nutrition while offering convenience and clinical performance.
Key Features & Benefits
- 2.5 : 1 fat : (carbohydrate + protein) ratio — supports ketogenic therapy in older children and adults, balancing higher protein and modest carbohydrate allowances.
- Complete nutrition — Provides essential vitamins, minerals, long-chain omega-3 (DHA), and contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) for ketogenic support.
- Ready-to-use liquid format (237 mL / 8 fl oz carton) — easy for oral use or feeding tube, reducing preparation burden.
- Vanilla flavour — a palatable taste helps with acceptance.
- Multi-fibre blend included — helps support digestive tolerance in long-term ketogenic use.
- Indicated for 8 years+ — designed for older children, adolescents and adult patients (under clinical supervision).
Usage & Practical Notes
- Supervision required: This product should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional experienced in ketogenic diet management.
- Administration: Use as directed—can be taken orally or via feeding tube. Shake well before use.
- Storage: Store unopened cartons at recommended temperature; once opened, follow label instructions for use time.
- Suitability: Not intended for children under 8 years old unless under specific clinical direction.
Important Considerations
- Contains milk (casein, whey) and soy oil — not suitable for individuals with milk or soy allergy.
- Because of the high fat and low carbohydrate nature, monitoring of lipids, kidney stones, growth (in children), and fluid/electrolyte status is important.
- This product is not a general food; it is a “food for special medical purposes” and must be integrated as part of a medically supervised ketogenic diet.
