MCTs are more easily and rapidly hydrolyzed and absorbed than long-chain fatty acids by persons with fat malabsorption. Corn oil provides a source of linoleic acid.
  Protein:
  - Protein provides 14% of the total calories in Portagen. The protein source is sodium caseinate, a cows milk protein.
  Carbohydrate:
  - Carbohydrate provides 46% of the total calories in Portagen. The carbohydrate blend is 75% corn syrup solids and 25% sugar (sucrose). Portagen is lactose-free.
