Benecalorie (Discontinued) - Replacement - Xtracal Calorie & Protein Food Enhancer

For years, Benecalorie by Nestlé Health Science was a go-to medical nutritional supplement for patients who needed concentrated caloric support in a small volume. A single 1.5 fl oz serving delivered 330 calories and 7 grams of high-quality protein, and the product mixed well into most foods and beverages, including milkshakes, yogurt, hot cereal, and mashed potatoes. Sadly, that era has come to an end. After thoughtful consideration, Nestlé made the difficult decision to discontinue Benecalorie effective March 1, 2026, citing extended out-of-stock periods and a desire to improve manufacturing efficiencies across their broader product portfolio. 

With no direct replacement offered by Nestlé itself, many healthcare professionals and caregivers have turned to ProSource XtraCal Calorie & Protein Food Enhancer w/MCT Oil by Medtrition as the closest comparable alternative. XtraCal is specifically formulated for the dietary management of insufficient protein and calorie intake, and is a low-volume, high-calorie concentrate made from MCT oil and two sources of protein, providing 230 calories and 14 grams of protein per packet. Notably, XtraCal is gluten- and lactose-free, suitable for a clear liquid diet, and can be administered either orally or through a feeding tube — making it a highly versatile option for both home and clinical settings.
