PolyCal Carbohydrate Supplement

When a patient needs extra calories without extra volume, PolyCal delivers concentrated carbohydrate energy in a form that mixes cleanly into food and drink. This collection carries the PolyCal Unflavored Oral Supplement in a 400-gram canister (89461), a powdered glucose polymer designed to fortify meals for people who struggle to meet their energy needs through diet alone.

Because PolyCal is unflavored, it dissolves into hot or cold liquids, purees, soups, and soft foods without changing taste — a practical advantage for patients with poor appetite, increased calorie requirements, or restricted intake. Dietitians and caregivers reach for it when someone is losing weight, recovering from illness or surgery, or living with a condition that raises metabolic demand. It provides carbohydrate calories only, so it can be layered onto an existing diet without altering protein or fluid restrictions.

The powder format lets you titrate the dose to the calorie goal, scooping more or less as a nutrition plan directs. The 400-gram canister is a manageable size for home use and easy to store between servings. As with any nutritional supplement used to manage clinical needs, dosing and suitability should be confirmed with a physician or registered dietitian, particularly for those managing diabetes or on carbohydrate-controlled regimens.

PolyCal fits within a broader approach to closing nutritional gaps. Explore related options in our oral nutritional supplements collection, and browse the full nutrition category for complete and modular formulas, thickeners, and feeding supplies to round out a care plan.
