Key Benefits & Features
- 530 nutrient-rich calories per 8 fl oz (≈ 237 mL) — the highest calorie BOOST® option to help you gain or maintain weight even when you can’t eat much.
- 22 g of high-quality protein — supports muscle preservation and repair.
- 26 essential vitamins & minerals, including immune-supportive nutrients like vitamins C & D, zinc, iron, and selenium.

Boost extra high calorie supplement
Package arrived fast. Was packed well. No crushed or leaky cartons.

Boost VHC Vanilla
I need to gain weight and this is a great high calorie drink. I add it to my morning coffee for a French Vanilla flavor. But if I drink it straight from the carton, I get an upset stomach, if I drink too much. I try it over ice, and that’s a little better. That’s why I gave it 4 stars.
