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.

Very High Calorie Boost
This product has helped me to gain 26 pounds over the past 9 months. I have been living with a gastric feeding tube since last June when my weight had dropped to 124. Now I’m getting back to my more normal weight. Yippee!

I am very happy to be able to buy Very High Calorie Booost
Very High Calorie Boost has helped me put on about 25 pounds since I started using it last June. In June I had a Gastric Feeding Tube inserted into my stomach and from then I must get almost all of my nutrition from liquid foods. In June my weight had dropped to about 124 pounds because of issues with eating by mouth. The very high calorie Boost is added each day to the medium calorie liquid that must come thru the tube. Thanks for having such a reasonable price on such an important food for me.
