high energy supply in the form of easily available carbohydrates with low osmotic effect
very low osmotic effect (see info to the right)
thickening effect (ranging from zero to viscous) depending on concentration 
no sweetness, not even in high concentrations
excellent tolerance, even in diarrhoea patients
free from fructose, lactose, galactose, sucrose und protein
• of pure vegetable origin, derived from corn starch (GMO-free)
• low in sodium, low in electrolytes
• gluten-free
• free from dietary fibre
• stable during baking and cooking
• The amonut of higher molecular glucose saccharides is increased in Maltocal⁶ in comparison to Maltocal¹⁹. Glucose and maltose are lower.

Definition and Indication

Energy enriched diets - enhanced energy supply in the form of easily available carbohydrates: 

• loss of energy due to diarrhoea and frequent vomiting
• hypoglycaemias of different origin for stabilising blood glucose level
• in pre- and post-operative conditions in order to improve the nutritional status
• short bowel syndrome, pankreas resection, cystic fibrosis or anorexia
• restricted fat tolerance

 Carbohydrate substitution:

• in case of fructose-, lactose-, sucrose indigestion or -intolerance
• in low fibre diets, diets following fasting, in acute inflammatory bowel disease
• in glycogenosis

 Elemental diets, e.g. in disease related malnutrition and malabsorption:  

• Crohn's disease, colitis ulcerosa, celiac disease or short gut 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 impaired digestive function or oesophagus alterations, causing difficulties in swallowing

 Allergy diets: 

• suitable in case of locust bean gum allergy, since free from locust bean gum

 Low protein and/or elektrolyte defined nutrition:  

• 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. festlegen. Ideally the daily amount is distributed in several single portions.

Standard dilution

• 25 g  of MaltoCal¹⁹ (1 level scoop) in 100 ml drinking water

Viscosity

• with more than 30 g of MaltoCal¹⁹ in 100 ml drinking water the solution becomes viscous
