Maltocal<sup>19</sup>  Maltocal19

is an easily soluble supplementary food for a balanced energy enrichment of the diet with carbohydrates (maltodextrin):
  • high energy supply in the form of easily available carbohydrates 
  • low osmotic effect (see information to the right)
  • of pure vegetable origin, since derived from corn starch (GMO-free)
  • gluten-free
  • free from fructose, lactose, galactose, sucrose and protein
  • from dietary fibre
  • strictly low in sodium, low in electrolytes
  • very well tolerated, even in high concentrations
  • odourless and almost tasteless, low sweetness
  • stable during baking and cooking 
  • no thickening or swelleing effect

Ingredients: Maltodextrin (Dextrose-equivalent 17 - 19.9)


Definition and Indication

Energy enriched diets - enhanced energy supply in the form of easily available carbohydrates:
  • in pre- and post-operative situation to improve the nutritional status
  • in short gut syndrome, pancreas resection, cystic fibrosis or anorexia
  • in reduced fat tolerance
  • hypoglycaemias of different origin for stabilising blood glucose level
Carbohydrate substitution:
  • in fructose-, lactose-, sucrose indigestion or -intolerance
  • in a low fibre diet, e.g. in case of acute inflammatory bowel disease
  • in glycogenosis
Elemental diets, e.g. in disease related maldigestion and malabsorption conditions:
  • Crohn's disease, colitis ulcerosa, coeliac disease or short bowel syndrome
  • post-operative nutrition, tumour cachexia or radiotherapy, HIV/Aids
Liquid feeds and tube feeds:
  • in disorders where normal food supply is too difficult, impossible or inefficient, such as post-operative nutrition, impaired digestive function
Low protein and/or elektrolyte defined nutrition:
  • e.g. for securing energy supply in order to avoid gluconeogenesis in patients with renal failure, phenylketonuria or urea cycle disorders
  • low potassium, high energy supplementary food in haemodialysis

Dosage

The daily amount of MaltoCal19 should be determined in a diet plan considering the individual energy requirements of the patient. Ideally the daily amount is distributed in several single portions.

Standard dilution

  • 25 g MaltoCal19  (1 levelled hospital scoop) in 100 ml drinking water

Osmolality of the standard dilution

  • 240 - 280 mosmol/kg drinking water
  • Thus the standard dilution acts as isotonic in the gastrointestinal tract
