Enhancing Lives Together

Vitaflo wish to inform you that there has been an update to Pro-Cal powder.


For technical reasons, the anti-caking agent used in Pro-Cal powder has been changed from Silicone dioxide (E551) to Tricalcium phosphate (E341(iii)).


The main features of Pro-Cal powder have not changed. 15g of Pro-Cal powder (1 sachet / scoop) will continue to provide 100kcal & 2g protein, however, due to the change in anti-caking agent from silicone dioxide (E551) to Tricalcium phosphate (E341(iii)),the amount of some nutrients, including calcium and phosphate in Pro-Cal powder has changed.
