Product Description
Lipistart is a nutritionally complete powdered formula containing whey protein, carbohydrate, fat (high in medium-chain triglycerides [MCT] and low in long chain triglycerides [LCT]), vitamins, minerals, trace elements, arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). For the dietary management of long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders and other disorders requiring dietary management using a high MCT low LCT formula from birth to 10 years.
Fat Profile - MCT vs LCT
⬆ HIGH MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides)
15.6g per 100g (2.34g per 100ml)
MCT is rapidly absorbed and metabolised, bypassing the long-chain fatty acid oxidation pathway.
⬇ LOW LCT (Long Chain Triglycerides)
4.4g per 100g (0.66g per 100ml)
LCT is restricted as it requires the fatty acid oxidation pathway that is impaired in FAOD patients.
Allergy Information
⚠️ Allergen Declaration
Contains Milk (Milk Protein)
Important Notice
Precautions
- Lipistart must be used under medical supervision
- Suitable from birth to 10 years of age
- Suitable as a sole source of nutrition from birth to 1 year of age

- NOT suitable for people with medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD)
- Monitoring of essential fatty acid status and supplementation when required, is recommended when using Lipistart long term
- For enteral use only
Dosage and Administration
To be determined by the clinician or dietitian and is dependent on the age, body weight and medical condition of the patient.
Standard Dilution
15% dilution: 1 level scoop (~5g) of Lipistart to 30ml of water (approx 1 fluid oz.)
Preparation Guidelines for Bottle Fed Infants
- Wash hands well
- Sterilise feeding equipment according to manufacturer's instructions
- Boil fresh water and leave to cool for no more than 30 minutes to ensure it remains at a temperature of at least 70°C. Do not use artificially softened water or repeatedly boiled water
- Measure out the required amount of water into the bottle
- Using the scoop provided, add the prescribed number of scoops of Lipistart to the water, levelling each scoop off with the back of a clean dry knife. Do not press the powder into the scoop
- Place the sterilised teat and cap on the bottle and shake well until all the powder has dissolved
- Cool to drinking temperature (approx. 37°C). Always test the temperature before feeding by shaking a few drops onto the inside of your wrist – the feed should feel warm but not hot
