KetoCal 3:1 Powder — Precision Ketogenic Nutrition for Therapeutic Diets
KetoCal 3:1 is a medical-grade, powdered formula designed to support ketogenic diet therapy. With a precise 3:1 ratio of fat to (carbohydrate + protein), this product offers nutritionally complete support for individuals managing drug-resistant epilepsy or other metabolic conditions, and is intended for use under medical supervision.
Key Features & Benefits
- 3 : 1 ketogenic ratio (fat : carbohydrate + protein) — supports classical ketogenic diet protocols for epilepsy and other conditions where carbohydrate restriction and fat-dominant nutrition are needed.
- Nutritionally complete powdered feed — includes essential vitamins, minerals, DHA & ARA (long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids) among other nutrients to support growth and metabolic health.
- Flexible use — suitable as the sole source of nutrition for infants/children (typically from 1 year of age when diet is prescribed) and as a supplemental feed for older individuals.
- Enteral ready — designed for use via oral consumption or tube feeding under supervision, making it applicable across clinical and home-care settings.
- Reduced carbohydrate load — very low carbohydrate and sugar content, which is integral for maintaining ketosis in therapeutic diet settings.
How & When to Use
- Clinical oversight needed: As a specialized ketogenic feed, KetoCal 3:1 must be used under direction of a healthcare professional experienced in ketogenic diet management.
- Preparation: Use hot sterilised water (~45-50 °C) to help dissolve the powder, then cool to safe feeding temperature. Follow detailed instructions in product literature.
- Age indication: Suitable for children from 1 year of age; for the first 1-3 years, it may be used as a sole nutrition source; for older children and adults, it may be used as supplemental nutrition.
- Storage: Store in a cool dry place; once opened, follow manufacturer instructions for shelf-life and use.
Important Considerations
- Contains milk proteins (casein, whey) and soy oil (in the oil blend) – not suitable for individuals with allergen sensitivities to these.
- Because of its high fat and low carbohydrate nature, the diet supported by this product requires monitoring for potential issues (e.g., hypoglycemia, renal stones, lipid changes) in clinical settings.
- Not intended for parenteral (intravenous) use – for enteral (oral or feeding tube) use only.
- Use strictly as part of a prescribed ketogenic diet; incorrect preparation or usage can compromise therapeutic outcomes.
