Intralipid 30% is particularly suitable for patients on fluid restriction due to its more concentrated form. This also provides an advantage in patients with a high energy requirement. A lower phospholipid/triglyceride ratio provides less phospholipids than the same amount of energy from Intralipid 200mg/L. About 60% of the fatty acids in Intralipid are essential fatty acids.
