BOOST Very High Calorie Nutritional Drink — Powerful Nutrition When You Need It Most
When your energy needs are greater than a regular meal can cover, BOOST Very High Calorie delivers. This ready-to-drink nutritional shake packs 530 nutrient-dense calories per 8-oz serving, along with 22 g of high-quality protein and 26 essential vitamins and minerals — a complete solution to help you gain or maintain weight, support recovery, or simply stay energized.
Why BOOST Very High Calorie Stands Out
- Maximum Calorie & Protein Boost — With 530 kcal and 22 g protein per serving, it’s ideal for people with high energy demands — whether recovering from illness or needing extra nutrition for active days.
- Complete Nutritional Support — Includes 26 vitamins and minerals (like calcium, vitamin D, zinc, iron, selenium) to support bone health, immune function, and overall wellness.
- Versatile Use — Take it as a snack, mini-meal, or calorie supplement when appetite is low or regular meals aren’t enough. Great for weight maintenance, recovery, or increased nutritional needs.
- Diet-Friendly & Convenient — Gluten-free, kosher, and suitable for those with lactose intolerance. Comes pre-prepared — no mixing required.
- Delicious & Easy to Drink — Rich flavors like Chocolate, Very Vanilla, and Creamy Strawberry make hydration and nutrition enjoyable — either chilled or over ice.
Who It’s For
- Individuals needing a high-calorie, high-protein diet (e.g. recovery, weight gain, medical conditions)
- People with poor appetite, difficulty eating, or increased energy needs
- Busy adults, seniors, or athletes needing a nutrient-dense meal substitute or supplement
- Anyone looking for a quick, balanced nutritional drink — at home or on the go
How to Use
- Enjoy one 8-oz serving daily (or as recommended) as a snack or with a meal. Hinges on increased calorie or protein requirements. No mixing — just shake and drink. Refrigerate after opening.

So beneficial
It is so helpful having products like this available. It is really hard getting enough calories in a day and this makes it much easier; it doesn't taste that bad and you get over the consistency thing pretty quick

I have been living on it since April. I have a PEG tube and rely on the Boost for my nutrition. Far better than the Jevity that they supplied me.

Boost Very High Calorie - Chocolate
I am very grateful for this product. My dad is 94 and stopped making breakfast for himself 18 months ago and lost some weight. Now he often doesn't want to eat - and two of the Boost VHC plus breakfast covers his calorie intake requirements. They taste great.

Boost vhC
My husband is a Head and Neck cancer survivor. God is good! Since he cannot eat solids yet we’ve been using this for 1 1/2 years as his “food”. Unfortunately the prices keep going up and I’m forever chasing suppliers for prices. Your company has been good to us with quick deliveries. This Boost has a good taste and calories that my husband needs. Thank You and God Bless

I'm a throat cancer survivor and have been drinking these for 16 years. They keep me alive. The vanilla flavor is very good.
