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)

I use this every morning in my coffee dissolves quickly no flavor

My toddler has struggled to gain weight, since he was born. His doctor recommended this product to give him extra calories. This has helped him to gain weight. We mix it with his milk, and he doesn’t notice a difference in the taste or texture of the milk.

I have to say, I am very impressed by Duocal! We started using it back in May for my 3 yr old's chronic weight issues - Failure to Thrive for 18 months. I was very conservative about only putting in a teaspoon for an 8 ounce container of Pediasure. But then I started reading the directions and found out you can do 1 spoonful for every 2-3 ounces, so ... guess who added more?! Yep! And at my son's last weigh-in, he was ON THE WEIGHT CHART! Not only was he ON THE WEIGHT CHART, but he was also TENTH PERCENTILE! Yes!!! Now, I am not claiming Duocal did it all. It's the whole shebang, everything, that caused the weight gain. (And by everything, we are literally doing everything to battle Failure to Thrive ...) But Duocal was a part of the team and was likely one of the tipping point factors to break through the glass ceiling of weight maintenance and move us onward to gaining weight. So I am impressed and loving this stuff. By the way, please do not use without a doctor or nutritionist advising so.

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!!!

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.

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.

Tasteless and mostly odorless.

Unflavored is a lie. SIGNIFICANTLY changed the taste of beverages. Now I’m stuck with six cans of garbage my wife won’t drink.

Gave it twice to my daughter in very small quantity with her milk and she threw up not long after. I tried it myself and it is not good, the taste and the texture is awful. Can't tell if it's the product, as it is first time ever trying it. Overall disappointing.

Recommend for our kid to help with weight gain. Says it's taste and texture free, somehow after adding a very small quantity to milk he wouldn't touch it. Tried without and drank all of the milk. After reading the ingredients it's based on coconut oil and my son hates coconut so I think the taste does come through to young sensitive palette.
