Frequently asked questions

Is this formula suitable for infants with MSUD?

Yes, Ketonex-1 is specifically engineered for the dietary management of maple syrup urine disease (MSUD). It is formulated to be completely free of the branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) that infants with MSUD cannot process, allowing for safe, controlled protein intake.

Does this formula support brain and eye development?

Yes, this formula is fortified with DHA and ARA, which are essential nutrients specifically included to promote healthy brain and eye development in infants and toddlers.

Are there any specific dietary restrictions met by this formula?

Ketonex-1 is designed with several dietary needs in mind. It is strictly lactose-free, gluten-free, and meets Halal certification requirements.

How should I store the formula once it is opened?

Once a can is opened, it should be stored at room temperature and the contents must be used within 1 month. If you have already mixed the formula with water, store the prepared bottle in the refrigerator and use it within 24 hours.

Is this formula intended as a sole source of nutrition?

No, this product is a specialized medical nutrition tool and is not intended as a sole source of nutrition. Because it is amino acid-modified, it must be used exclusively as directed by your physician, who may prescribe additional protein, specific amino acids, or water intake based on the child’s needs.

Can I use the microwave to warm the prepared formula?

No, do not use a microwave to warm the formula. Microwaving can cause uneven heating and hot spots, which may result in serious burns to your infant.

Is this product suitable for premature infants?

It is not recommended for use in premature infants or those with immune system problems unless specifically directed and supervised by a medical professional.

What is the fat-to-energy ratio of this formula?

Ketonex-1 features a balanced lipid profile where approximately 40% of total energy is derived from fat. This ratio is carefully calibrated to maintain comfortable formula osmolality for the infant.

Are L-carnitine and taurine included in the formula?

Yes, this formula includes both L-carnitine and taurine at levels consistent with those found in human milk and animal-derived foods to support overall infant health.

How many cans are included in each purchase?

Each case contains 6 individual cans, with each can containing 14.1 ounces (400 grams) of powdered formula.
