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.

Boost Very High Calorie Supplement
Like others who have reviewed this product, I rely on Boost Very High Calorie because side effects of radiation therapy prevent me from eating "normal" food. This product is all that save me from having to get a feeding tube which I REALLY didn't want. That said, I'm disappointed that Hey Med suddenly raised the price of a case of this product by approximately 25% overnight. Since I basically live on this product, can you imagine your grocery bill going up by 25% overnight?

Very high calorie Boost
Great product and Heymed Supply has been great. Only complaint is the pricing increase. For two cartons I was paying $85 it just jumped to $105, that’s quite a jump!

Boost VHC Vanilla
Try it mixed with chocolate milk. Tastes exactly like a malt. 700+ calories of LOVE!

Good taste but expensive.
I like the chocolate taste. Have not tried other flavors. Has helped to maintain my weight weight during my Chemo therapy treatment. Is expensive but sometimes goes on sale at Hey Medical.
