XtraCal Plus

Develop a 'Food First' program by creating nutrient dense alternatives to nutritional supplements.


XtraCal Plus™ is a remarkable concentrated, low volume, high calorie supplement made from MCT oil and two sources of protein. Each 45 mL packet contains 230 calories and 14 grams of protein but only 9 grams of sugar.
      Patients with limited food intake, such as those with chewing and swallowing problems, typically do not benefit from all of the food served to them. Increasing nutrient intake can eliminate the need to add another item to the resident's tray. A can of nutritional supplement competes with the resident's appetite for tray foods and can create even greater waste. XtraCal Plus can be mixed with typical low nutrient dense foods to increase their nutritional value or it can be added to enrich the person's preferred food- highlighting the items they'll eat.
      XtraCal Plus is water soluble so it can be added to all types of beverages, thickened juices, soft and pureed foods - even tube feeding formula's - without lumping or changing consistency.

Conditions: Weight loss/ the need for additional calories. MCT oil has special properties than address specific conditions such as short bowel syndrome and fat malabsorption. Click on "Product Information" to see the entire spectrum of conditions XtraCal Plus is suited for.

"I can't believe how well the Xtracal plus mixes with everything - food, hot and cold drinks, ice cream - whatever. We have even mix it with a little water and flushed it down a J-tube . It's the best way I've found to get an additional 230 calories and 14 grams of protein into a diet."
