Are there any variations in consistency with real food products? Our Keto Peptide formula undergoes regular nutritional assessment and lab testing. However, as with all real food products, the nutrient levels may vary a bit due to growing season, soil, and weather conditions. NOTE*: Functional Formularies Keto Peptide is not intended to be used as SOLE SOURCE nutrition. If you are following a Ketogenic diet or have specific dietary restrictions that require you to be exact with certain nutrient levels, please discuss the use of this product with a health care provider.

How many ounces are in each pouch of Keto Peptide? Why are there variables in the milliliters contained from pouch to pouch? By law, we are required to list the “ounces” and “grams” which are measures of weight, not measures of volume, on the food label. Because the formula is made from real food, its density can vary and, as such, so can the volume of the formula in each pouch. Rest assured, each pouch of Keto Peptide contains 227 grams as measured on a gram scale. All nutritional information as stated on our website and packaging is correct. The nutritional value of the package contents is calculated and tested for each pouch. The most accurate measure is 227 grams which is what our manufacturers use as a gauge of measurement. The conversation of weight is a complex one due to the fact that our product, per food labeling laws, has to show ounces on the label. However, our products are not fluid ounces as most people expect, due to the viscosity. A glass measuring cup or syringe with ounce measurements is designed to measure only fluid ounces. Our product consists of food ingredients and thus is not measured as a thin “fluid” such as water so the volume in ounces may vary. We have done our best to offer accurate mL measures on the long nutritionals as a courtesy knowing that RDs are used to working with this measuring system.

Is it safe for Keto Peptide to sit outside in the heat for short periods of time? Yes. Exposure to higher heat (75-100º+) for short periods of time will not negatively affect the nutritional values. The only time the nutritional values will begin to be affected is if the products are stored at temperatures above 75 degrees for extended periods of time (6-12+ months). If exposed to high heat for an extended period, the nutrient value may decrease over time.
