- Anyone looking for a quick, balanced nutritional drink — at home or on the go

Boost Very High Calorie (VHC) allowed me to avoid having a feeding tube again.
During my cancer treatments I, like many others, have been unable to eat resulting in significant weight loss. I discovered Boost VHC a year ago and have survived drinking it and water only. During the first few months of using it, I regained 20 of the 30 pounds I previously lost. That weight gain has stayed with me and has allowed me to avoid other more intrusive means of receiving nutrition.
