K.Vita Calculator | Tools
Calculate an individualised plan for a child or adult
Calculator Description
Use this K.Vita calculator to create a downloadable plan for your patient to follow so they can, for example:
- Introduce a daily amount for the first time, based on a target daily amount in ml (adults and children) or as a percentage of their daily energy requirements (children only)
- Extend the duration of their introduction plan if they get symptoms of gastrointestinal intolerance any time after starting to slow down the rate of increase in the daily amount, for example, from four to six weeks
- Increase the daily amount they are currently taking to find out if extra is more efficacious for them, for example, up to a maximum of two packs (240ml) per day or 35% of daily energy requirements1
- Change the daily frequency, for example, from three to four times daily
- Reintroduce K.Vita after being nil-by-mouth, for example, after illness or surgery
Pre-prepared plans are available for introducing 120ml (1 pack) or 240ml (2 packs) of K.Vita.
