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.

Boost very high calorie drink
I’m very satisfied with the product and delivery time is quick. However, the price has gone up significantly and the 5off discount has been eliminated for long time customers, making the product more costly.

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.

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?
