BOOST® Very High Calorie — Maximum Nutrition in Minimal Volume
When your body needs more but your appetite or fluid tolerance is limited, BOOST® Very High Calorie delivers. This is the highest calorie BOOST® formula, packed with energy, protein, and essential nutrients to support weight gain, recovery, or nutritional maintenance.
Key Benefits & Features
- 530 nutrient-rich calories per 8 fl oz (≈ 237 mL) — the highest calorie BOOST® option to help you gain or maintain weight even when you can’t eat much.
- 22 g of high-quality protein — supports muscle preservation and repair.
- 26 essential vitamins & minerals, including immune-supportive nutrients like vitamins C & D, zinc, iron, and selenium.
- No artificial sweeteners or colors — the “Creamy Strawberry” flavor uses natural strawberry flavor.
- Diet-friendly: gluten-free, kosher, and suitable for lactose intolerance (not for those with galactosemia).

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.
