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.

This product is highly recommended. Effective and affordable.

Love this drink!!
I've been trying to gain weight for years, and this drink helps to ensure I reach my calorie goal for the day. The vanilla tastes good and it's easy to chug and get down easily. Great meal replacement and keeps me full. Highly recommend!

Boost Chocolate VHC
This is the best stuff on the market for gaining weight. The flavor is strong, so mix with milk to taste. I expect you could add ice cream for an added punch. The Hey Med price is the lowest I can find. Same quality, and excellent customer service!

I love this drink!
I have reduced appetite because of chemo treatments and have a hard time keeping weight on. This Very High Calorie Boost is an easy way to make sure that I get plenty of calories even it I don't have an appetite. The drink is only 8 oz so it goes down quickly if I want it to, and it doesn't leave me feeling bloated. It's thicker than the normal Boost protein drinks but not as thick as a milk shake. I only wish chocolate was available on this site.
