Duocal Nutricia High Calorie Super Soluble Powder - High-Calorie Support Supplement Powder - Energy Supplement with Dual Source of Carbohydrate & Fat - Dairy-Free - Unflavored, 14.1 oz (Case of 1)

My child needed this product for a while. It came quickly which was the best part as we live in a small town and none of the pharmacies carried it. It was easy to mix in foods and drinks. It was tasteless. This product helped my child go from failure to thrive to a healthy weight as a special needs kid. We used this product with the guidance of a dietician as well as a gastroenterologist.

Easy to mix and truly unflavored. A great support for anyone needing extra calories without added fuss or strong taste. It helped my daughter put on some weight as an additional measure. I would put half scoop for 4oz of milk in baby's bottle.

This is. Great additive that is tasteless. We add this supplement to my grandmas food to give her some extra calories. I would definitely recommend.

My son was in the NICU for three months and having "Polycal" added to his formula. When we got discharged we had one can that they gave us and it ran out extremely quickly. We didn't have anymore that fast, we were totally panicking. I must have called 10 medical establishments, two of which were his former hospitals; one had never even heard of it, and the other had no suggestions for a temporary substitute. He was on it, as far as I was aware ,for intermitten hypoglycemia and also to increase calories without increasing volume. So my panick was that his sugars would drop. Didn't appear that anyone cared though. I managed to cut a batch of formula down to half the polycal normally used in the hopes of weening down, and then basically had none. During that time, I came online looking for it. No one would deliver it in anything under a week, or a store would look like they had it, but really wouldn't (Amazon, included). I even went to the Nutricia website (the people that make Polycal and Duocal), and it was frigging discontinued, they don't even make it anymore (which honestly makes me question the freshness of any of the cans website still claim to sell). I decided duocal was better than nothing, plus it had more stuff in it that seemed normal. Polycal is nasty and is literally just maltodextrin, which I personally can't even have without being very sick. I came across Duocal. Duocal is not maltodextrin and has fats, carbs, calcium, and added calories. The problem was that it is not recommended for children under 1 yr old.. :/ my baby is 4 months. I ordered it anyway bc it was better to have something that is at least kid friendly on hand just in case. As soon as I got it, I called pediatrician and asked about it. She called his Endocrinologist and GI specialists and they approved the use of the Duocal.During the week we were scrambling to get the polycal, my son was having very bad spitups. To the point of throwing up half his feeds. As soon as we started the Duocal back up, the spitups calmed down. We also begna adding oatmeal to his formula which he LOVES. Between the duocal and the oatmal he is getting almost 5 extra calories added to his feeds. He lost 5 ounces in once week last week... since then? GAINED IT ALL BACK. His pediatrician was very concerned and would have hospitalized him if he hadnt gained any weight back. We are very thankful for the duocal and while I would always recommend professional approval, my chlid is not a year old and he is able to take the duocal just fine. His pee and poop are normal. We are very happy.The one star deduction is for the price. We got MAYBE 2 weeks out of the can. $100 a month for this stuff is ridiculous. The polycal was cheaper. I understand its a different product but 35$ is a lot. The shirts I buy on this site aren't even that much. A baby carrier I just got him wasn't half that. So, they get a star taken off.Otherwise, pretty good stuff!!!

My son was 4 years old when he began losing interest in food. He was not consuming nearly enough calories and began losing weight rather than gaining. He was dropping under the 1 percentile for weight at his age rapidly. He had actually lost almost a pound in a year. Our pediatrician immediately gave us a can of this and told us to incorporate a scoop or two in ANYTHING that it would dissolve in that he’d eat. After follow up appointment with pediatric GI specialist, she also recommended that we keep up with this as a last resort before hospitalization or surgical intervention. He is 6 now and while still underweight, his doctors are no longer concerned. By all accounts this stuff has contributed to his weight gain and maintenance. If done properly, you can double caloric intake by augmenting regular meals and snacks with it. I’ve tasted it and it is truly flavorless. Easy to mix with just about ANYTHING that’s not bone dry.

Tasteless and mostly odorless.

The product was just what we ordered. However, it was shipped in an envelope and was crushed in shipment. The metal seal had popped off and powder was IN the envelope and not sealed in the canister.
