Boost is a item that my husband’s heart attack doctor said he needs to drink because he lost so much weight after his quadruple bypass open heart surgery.
Roger Fox –
If one were to take the time to compare, line by line, the “Nutrition Facts” label on this product to the vast number of powered products it is easy to see this Boost product is superior! It ain’t rocket science!!!I don’t have any problem with the thickness and I supplement the rather bland flavor with caramel coffee additive. Haven’t tried to add chocolate syrup yet. 🙂

This is the best stuff ever. Lots of calories so we don’t have to stuff him constantly, doesn’t upset his stomach, and the smell doesn’t make me feel queasy like the other stuff. He likes it and can tell the difference. Also, thank heavens it costs less than the other stuff, since our insurance covers nothing. Really a little irked that no one told me about this when he got the tube. They prescribed stuff that would have cost $900+ a month. They’re so not used to people actually paying for it since everyone’s on medicare that they don’t even know what it costs. They didn’t even know about this. It’s a lifesaver. Just be sure to mix it with water; it’s pretty concentrated.

I have ALS and I drink three of these a day, plus two meals to keep my weight steady.I like how I can get 530 calories, plus vitamins all in a small 8 oz drink.I especially appreciate how on this order I received the product two days early 🙂

after spending time in a hospital and rehab for 3 months i had lost 35 pounds and could not gain it back, discussed thsi product with different drs. using 3 a day have gained back about, Have a very high metabolism and anyone should talk it over with your dr, 550 calories is lot in a drink with food.

This Product works wonders with gains on weight and it tastes good but its very thick. What I did was make shakes with it!! It tastes way better. Put One of these bad boys, a little milk/almond milk to thin it out, a little ice and whatever else you choose to add then blend.

What I like about this product is major cals in one tiny box. As far as gains…they will come!!!.I order on a Thursday and it came on Saturday.What I didn’t like was some of the straws was open and not seal properly to form a circle to drink out of.I found 3 damage straws in my order and i have never had that problem before.

While this is a very good supplement to gain weight, it’s waaaay to pricey now. I’ll buy directly from Nestlé. Nestlé price is $47 for 24 boxes. Amazon is whopping $70 for 27 boxes! That’s ridiculous!
