Help Manage Your Medical Ketogenic Diet with KetoCal® Formula
Medical ketogenic diets may seem complex and demanding. That’s why people rely on KetoCal. It’s a powdered or ready-to-drink formula that is nutritionally complete to help make following a medical ketogenic diet easier.
Did you Know?
KetoCal is the most researched brand of medical ketogenic diet formulas, backed by over 25 years.
KetoCal for Tube-Feeding
Research suggests that an all-liquid ketogenic diet may even be more effective than a solid food ketogenic diet. This is perhaps because there is less room for errors with measuring foods and the restrictiveness that may be seen with an oral diet is not present with an all-liquid diet, consumed orally or by feeding tube.8,9
KetoCal formulas offer a wide range of options, from powders to liquids, 2.5:1, 3:1 and 4:1 ratio formulas that are convenient, easy to consume, and also perfect for tube feeding.
