{"title":"Renalcal","description":"\u003ch1\u003eRenalcal Renal Nutrition Formula\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRenalcal is a specialized, calorically dense tube-feeding formula developed for patients with acute or chronic kidney failure, particularly those who are not yet on dialysis and need to limit protein, electrolytes, and fluid volume. When kidneys can't clear waste efficiently, standard formulas can overload the body with potassium, phosphorus, and sodium — Renalcal is built to avoid that, delivering concentrated calories in a small volume so patients meet their energy needs without straining renal function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach 8.45-ounce ready-to-use carton provides 500 calories, giving 2.0 calories per milliliter. That high caloric density is the point: it lets clinicians and caregivers deliver adequate nutrition while keeping total fluid intake low, which matters when fluid restriction is part of the care plan. The formula is unflavored and designed primarily for enteral (tube) feeding, though it can also be used for supplemental oral intake when directed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the electrolyte and protein profile matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRenalcal is essentially free of added electrolytes — no added vitamins A and D, low in potassium, phosphorus, and sodium — so it doesn't add to the mineral burden failing kidneys already struggle to manage. Its protein is provided as high-quality whey and free amino acids, supporting nutritional status while keeping nitrogen load appropriate for pre-dialysis and non-dialyzed patients. Because it's so specialized, Renalcal should be used under the guidance of a physician or registered dietitian, who will fine-tune vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes based on individual lab values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeing ready-to-use means no mixing, reconstitution, or measuring — the carton is ready to hang or pour, which reduces preparation error and saves time in both clinical and home settings. Keep sealed cartons at room temperature and refrigerate any opened product per the manufacturer's directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor related enteral options, browse our full range of Nutrition supplies to complete your renal care plan.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"renalcal","title":"Renalcal","description":"Renalcal is a patented, calorically dense, protein restricted, minimized electrolyte formula designed for short-term tube feeding or oral supplementation and includes a patented blend of 67% essential and 33% non-essential L-amino acids to support positive nitrogen balance and to help minimize uremic symptoms, and it provides nutritional support for individuals with acute kidney injury, electrolyte sensitivity, or severe electrolyte restriction. This unique formula also includes arginine to reduce the potential for hyperammonemia and histidine which is considered essential in renal failure, and it has a high calorie-to-nitrogen ratio to help maintain protein utilization for lean muscle mass and high MCT content to decrease potential fat malabsorption. Renalcal is suitable for lactose-intolerant, gluten-free, low-residue, and kosher diets; however, it is not formulated for individuals with galactosemia, is intended for use under medical supervision, and is not intended for sole source feeding.","brand":"Renalcal","offers":[{"title":"Each (1)","offer_id":53142263333180,"sku":"104411","price":14.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Case (24)","offer_id":53142263300412,"sku":"107138","price":229.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3735\/5324\/files\/7d293131-face-8a52-58aa-b48b08d0c295_m_1ea77700-c38f-4ca7-8677-ddda5bc46f2c.jpg?v=1781866393"}],"url":"https:\/\/honestmed.com\/collections\/renalcal.oembed","provider":"Honest Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
