Microlipid Fat Emulsion Supplement

When a patient needs more calories than their diet or formula can practically deliver, fat is the most concentrated way to get them there. Microlipid is a ready-to-use safflower oil emulsion that packs 67.5 calories into every 15 mL serving — a compact, efficient source of essential fatty acids for adults and children who are struggling to meet energy needs or gain weight.

The Microlipid Unflavored 3 oz Bottle is designed to blend seamlessly into a care plan. Because it's unflavored, it can be mixed into oral feedings, added to enteral formula, or given as directed without altering taste, which matters for patients who are already fighting a poor appetite. Its emulsified form means the fat stays suspended and mixes easily, rather than separating out the way plain oil would.

Clinicians and caregivers most often reach for Microlipid in cases of fat malabsorption, restricted fat digestion, or when a standard tube-feeding regimen simply isn't providing enough calories for growth or maintenance. As a modular supplement, it lets you add fat calories independently — useful when you need to boost energy density without increasing volume or adding protein and carbohydrate at the same time.

A few practical notes buyers ask about: Microlipid is ready to use with no reconstitution, comes in a convenient 3-ounce bottle sized for individual or short-term use, and should be used under the guidance of a physician or dietitian, particularly for tube-fed patients where compatibility and dosing matter. Always follow storage instructions on the label and use within the timeframe recommended after opening.
