Duocal Nutricia High Calorie Super Soluble Powder, 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.

Product is great but my packages (3) all smell like pot. I don’t care what people do on their own time but I do care about my stuff smelling like it. It’s a problem for those with COPD and those with asthma.

Seems to work. My 5 yr old grandson is autistic with Hypertonia and low muscle tone. All we can get him yo eat are freeze dried strawberries, Pediasure and goldfish. He is tall but very skinny. The doctors gave us free samples to start but now we have to buy it. It only helped about 3lbs

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.

Great

My son is a petite baby. He was born at 37w and 4d weighing in at 5lbs and 7oz. He was gaining weight consistently during his first 4 months but after that, it was very difficult to feed him so his weight gain slowly decreased as he got older. He always had to be asleep in order for us to feed him his bottle. We started solids early but that didn’t go well. It got tougher to feed him starting at 6 months. He would push the bottle away all the time. Sometimes, I’d be swept with frustration and I’d cry. However, after I did research and found this product, he has been gaining weight the way I was hoping for. I ordered this 1.5 weeks before his 9 month appointment and he had put on 1lb!!!!! 2 weeks prior he was teething so he had diarrhea for 2 days and lost some weight so I was so happy to see that he was finally at 15lbs and 1oz. It was an indescribable feeling knowing that your child is putting on the weight he should!!!!! I just ordered another can just so I can get him to put on some more weight. His pediatrician thinks he’s normal and hitting his milestones. She says he’s on the Asian curve… but I see so many Asian kids chunkier than him. I know that I should be appreciative that he’s healthy and happy but I just can’t help feeling down on myself that im not doing a good job in helping him thrive as a mother should. I am working a regular 8-430 job with a 30 mins commute and I help at my husband’s business after my regular job and don’t get home until 7-8. My mother in law watches him but she has other responsibilities so she’s probably not as attentive to his needs. I try my best to give him all the good high calorie foods for him on my day off (usually Sundays…). Bottom line is, I would continue to buy this again and again.

I read all the reviews, did my research and watched videos on this product, so many people lied and said it has no taste or smell but that was a HUGE lie. It smells like chemicals and tastes horrible. My picky eater will not eat or drink it and we have tried it in so many different ways. All my family agrees that it has a gross chemical smell and taste that is not hidden in food or drink. Had I known everyone lied I never would have purchased this tiny expensive can that is absolutely not worth it. I do not recommend this if you or child has taste aversions.

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.

A mi hijo no le ha gustado para nada el sabor… tiene el típico sabor a suplemento médico y está complicado enmascararlo con alguna otra bebida!

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.
