BOOST® Kid Essentials™ 1.5 — Calorie-Dense Nutrition Designed for Growing Kids
When children have higher energy needs, limited appetite, or difficulty eating enough, BOOST® Kid Essentials™ 1.5 offers a powerful, compact formula to support growth, strength, and overall health.
Key Benefits & Features
- 360 calories per 8 fl oz (≈ 237 mL) serving — delivers more energy in less volume than standard 1.0 kcal/mL formulations.
- 10 g of high-quality protein — supports muscle maintenance and development.
- 25 essential vitamins & minerals, including antioxidant vitamins (C & E) and minerals like zinc and selenium for immune and overall health support.
- CalciLock® blend — a specialized mix of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and vitamins D, C & K to support healthy bone development.
- No artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners — a clean formula, and it’s gluten-free, kosher, and suitable for those with lactose intolerance (not for those with galactosemia).
- Flexible use — oral or tube-feeding — so it can adapt to different nutritional delivery needs.
- Kid-approved flavors — available in Vanilla Vortex, Chocolate Craze, and Strawberry Splash.
How & When to Use It
- Use as a mini-meal or supplement when children can’t consume enough food to meet nutrient needs.
- Serve between meals or alongside meals to boost intake with minimal bulk.
- Chill or serve at room temperature for best taste — do not heat, as that may alter consistency or nutrient integrity.
- Follow medical or dietitian guidance for the number of servings per day, based on the child’s nutritional plan.
Shelf Life & Storage
