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
Boost very high calorie helped me regain my weight which I lost due to surgery for bowel blockage. I’m 5’3” 78 years old and I went from 97 lbs to 120 lbs, a very health weight for me. I feel and look so much better! I’ll continue to use boost to get the vitamins,minerals and protein I need to maintain my health.

I had neck cancer and lot’s of radiation. My salivary glands took a hit and I do not produce saliva, therefore I cannot eat solid foods so I rely on high calorie boost for my nutrition. I rate this product 5 stars as I rely on it for the last two yea
Both Hey Med for delivery and high calorie boost are great

Boost very high calorie
The product is excellent, it’s kept me going for about a year as I am on a PEG tube. Not happy with the $10 per case price increase without notice. That hurts.
