Boost VHC, very vanilla
Pricing was very good and delivery was quick!

Boost Very High Calorie (VHC) allowed me to avoid having a feeding tube again.
During my cancer treatments I, like many others, have been unable to eat resulting in significant weight loss. I discovered Boost VHC a year ago and have survived drinking it and water only. During the first few months of using it, I regained 20 of the 30 pounds I previously lost. That weight gain has stayed with me and has allowed me to avoid other more intrusive means of receiving nutrition.

Boost Very High Calorie
I have been living on it since April. I have a PEG tube and rely on the Boost for my nutrition. Far better than the Jevity that they supplied me.

Love this drink!!
I've been trying to gain weight for years, and this drink helps to ensure I reach my calorie goal for the day. The vanilla tastes good and it's easy to chug and get down easily. Great meal replacement and keeps me full. Highly recommend!
