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.

Boost very high calorie vanilla
I recently had to have emergency surgery and lost 25 lb in the hospital. I was unable to eat for quite some time and was on IV nutrition while in the hospital. After a month, I was released and have been using Boost Very High Calorie to try and recuperate the weight loss. So far, I have gained back 20 lbs. This is not a bad tasting drink at all, and has the highest caloric count of any over-the-counter drink I've been able to find.

Boost VHC Drink
It helps me gain weight but it also lays heavy on my stomach causing slight nausea.

Boost 530 very very vanilla
Been using this product for about a year when I was undergoing treatments for cancer. It helped me maintain my weight when radiation treatment took away my appetite. It’s a little costly but it definitely worked to keep me stable. I still use it daily.

Seems to be working!
My 87 year old mother-in-law had an intestinal blockage. (She is a 3x colon cancer survivor.) She dropped down to 119 lbs when she's ideally at 130 or so. She likes the chocolate and vanilla. She mixes hers with some ice cubes to make a cold shake. She's been using them for three months, and her weight now fluctuates between 122 - 126, so she is slowly (and hopefully, surely) gaining her weight back. I first found and ordered these from another medical supply place, whose title has "Next Day" IN their name, but they took two weeks to ship the first time, and they completely vanished after my 2nd order. HeyMed delivered in a timely manner and has reasonable prices. I will be using them from now on! Thanks so much
