KetoCal 4:1 Liquid – Vanilla now with the advanced benefits of the patented Multi Fiber mixture. 

Case example: For a 3 year old consuming 900 kcal/day (2.5 tetra paks), KetoCal 4:1 Liquid provides 6.72 g total fiber/day. This meets 35% of the AI (Average Intake) for this age group. (AI for 1-3 year old = 19 g/day).

What is MF6?

• MF6 is composted of six fibers carefully selected and differing in their solubility and fermentability, in proportions reflective of those found on a healthy diet. The six fibers carefully selected for MF6 Multi Fiber include; oligofructose, inulin, acacia fiber, soy polysaccharide, resistant starch, and alpha-cellulose.

Multi Fiber – Mixture Benefits

• Clinical studies using Nutricia’s Multi Fiber have demonstrated the following beneficial effects.*
  • Improved gut transit
  • Increased bifidobacteria (prebiotic effect)
  • Increased short-chain fatty acid production
  • Reduced diarrhea
  • Reduced constipation/reduced laxative use
  • Improved tolerance, e.g. reduced bloating
    
    
• In a double-blind, cross-over study of young, enterally fed children, Multi Fiber was able to significantly reduce the number of days that were affected by constipation by 64%, compared with when these children received a fiber-free feed.¹

• Several studies have demonstrated the benefits on Multi Fiber compared with fiber-free formulas in reducing laxative use in enterally fed patients:
• 50% of patients on fiber-free feeds required laxatives, compared with only 13% of patients receiving Multi Fiber²
• 41% of patients who were commenced on Multi Fiber were able to stop or reduce their use of laxatives^3,4
