Description

Functional Formularies Keto, Ketogenic Feeding Tube Formula

Functional Formularies Keto is a groundbreaking, shelf-stable, and 100% organic whole food ketogenic feeding tube formula and meal replacement. Designed for both pediatric and adult use, this plant-based formula provides a clean, nutrient-dense alternative to traditional synthetic enteral nutrition. Formulated specifically for individuals requiring a medical ketogenic diet or seeking a pure, real-food option for tube feeding, it eliminates the artificial ingredients, corn syrups, and chemical preservatives common in standard medical foods. By leveraging the power of real food as medicine, this formula supports overall wellness, strengthens the natural immune system, and promotes optimal metabolic health.

Engineered with a versatile 2.43:1 ketogenic ratio, each 8-ounce pouch delivers 610 calories with a premium macronutrient distribution of 84% fat, 12% protein, and 4% carbohydrates, resulting in only 5 grams of net carbs. The exceptional fat profile is derived from high-quality, organic sources including coconut MCT oil, extra virgin olive oil, and flax oil, which offer an excellent omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio. To aid digestion and minimize gastrointestinal distress, the formula utilizes hydrolyzed pea protein peptides. These easily absorbed peptides drastically enhance nutrient absorption, improve GI tolerance, and successfully mitigate common complications such as acid reflux, bloating, volume intolerance, and irregular bowel motility.

In addition to its premium macronutrient structure, this ketogenic feeding tube formula includes 10 grams of naturally occurring dietary prebiotic fiber per pouch sourced from organic acacia, coconut, and lemon peel. This fiber blend feeds the gut microbiome, ensuring robust digestive tract health and superior overall comfort. Whether administered orally as a convenient, nutrient-packed shake or delivered via an enteral feeding tube, Functional Formularies Keto represents the gold standard in clean, organic, plant-based ketogenic medical nutrition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can Functional Formularies Keto be used with standard enteral feeding pumps?

A: Yes, it is fully compatible with gravity feeding bags, bolus syringes, and all major enteral infusion pumps. Because it is a whole-food formula without artificial emulsifiers, natural oil separation may occur. Shaking or kneading the pouch at room temperature easily blends the formula, ensuring smooth administration without clogging.

Q: What is the recommended hang time and shelf life for this ketogenic feeding tube formula?

A: Unopened pouches are shelf-stable at ambient room temperature for up to two years from the manufacturing date. Once opened, any remaining formula should be placed in a sealed container, refrigerated, and consumed within 48 hours. When administered at room temperature, it supports a safe, third-party tested 12-hour hang time.

Q: Is this plant-based keto formula safe for people with severe food allergies?

A: Functional Formularies Keto is completely plant-based, non-GMO, and naturally free from gluten, dairy, soy, corn, and added sugars, making it highly tolerable for sensitive digestive systems. However, it does contain tree nuts, specifically organic coconut and organic almond butter, which should be noted for individuals with specific nut allergies.

Q: Can Functional Formularies Keto be utilized as a sole source of nutrition?

A: No, this product is formulated as a nutritional meal replacement and supplemental enteral formula; it is not intended for sole-source nutrition. While it contains 610 calories and essential micronutrients, anyone using this as their primary nutritional intake should consult their healthcare team to establish a comprehensive supplement plan.

Q: What size feeding tubes can accommodate this whole-food formula?

A: This formula has been rigorously tested to flow smoothly through enteral feeding tubes down to an 8 French or larger. It is compatible with G-tubes, PEG tubes, and J-tubes. If the formula feels too thick due to cooler storage temperatures, simply warm the unopened pouch under warm tap water to restore its ideal viscosity.
