NEW KetoCal Connect Program to Support Keto Parents & Caregivers!

KetoCal_Connect_logoThe KetoCal® Team spoke with several keto parents to ask- What information and resources would have been helpful for you when your child started the ketogenic diet? Based on that feedback, we created the KetoCal Connect Program. The goal of KetoCal Connect is to help patients start and stay on the ketogenic diet successfully by providing caregivers with the information, support, and resources they need to manage the diet at home*.

There are 4 pillars of the KetoCal Connect program:

  1. Trusted products

We want you to have access to our trusted products from day 1 of your ketogenic diet journey. KetoCal has been used by healthcare providers all over the world for over 16 years. If you or your child is going to start the ketogenic diet or has recently started, ask your healthcare provider for a free sample of KetoCal or Liquigen® and a KetoCal Connect New Patient Starter Kit.

  1. Coverage & Cost Assistance

Our goal is to make sure that everyone who needs KetoCal has access to it. Our team of coverage specialists is available to help walk you through the process of getting KetoCal covered by your insurance, WIC, or Medicaid. When these are not options, the KetoCal Assistance Program (KAP) is available for qualifying families to purchase KetoCal at a discounted price.

  1. Caregiver Support

Remember, you are not alone – there’s a whole community behind you. Let us help you connect to nutrition experts and keto families just like you. Get one-on-one help with KetoCal or Liquigen questions by calling one of our Nutrition Specialists at 1-800-365-7354, Option 2. For everyday tips, check out our caregiver support blog.

  1. Tasty Ketogenic Recipes

We know how important it is to find ketogenic variations of your child’s favorite foods (and that favorite foods can change overnight!). Check out our recipe database to find a variety of sweet and savory ketogenic recipe ideas that can be adapted according to your child’s specific nutritional needs.
