I got this for my friend that has been in the hospital several times recently. This has had a negative effect on his weight and appetite and his doctor wants him to use some calorie and protein supplementation. He didn't like the one in the hospital because it was chalky and he's a notoriously picky eater. I had gotten him a fruit flavored enhanced calories drink that he actually liked and drank. Shockingly, he requested something chocolate. So I got this Boost drink for him.

He liked it! He actually thought it was very rich tasting and mixed it with some milk to dilute it a bit. He wants it again, which is a good sign. He's slowly putting the weight back on, which is also good. He hasn't had any negative side effects from using this. I definitely recommend this product if you like chocolate and need to put on a few pounds or increase your protein intake.

My husband has health ssues that require him to drink several Boosts a day. It's pricey thru Amazon if we can't find the supply we need in retail stores.

Good health drink

After my husband passed I did not realize I no longer ate properly until my orthopedist mentioned the weight loss. It was the lack of having to prepare meals for other than myself, it just didn't seem important to prepare a full meal for one. I started using Boost occasionally after that. The effects after a couple of weeks was noticeable in my activity. I was not eating enough to be the normal active person I was. I have never been over 130lbs, so coming back to 125 and staying there is wonderful. I now have gotten over the feelings of loss, the lack of caring to prepare meals for one, but still use the Boost chocolate.
I was picking it up at the grocery store, but when going over my Subscribe and Save order an ad passed and I was shocked at the price difference. It is now on my monthly delivery.
I love the taste, use it especially when I am on the run and don't have time for a breakfast or lunch. In my case it was grief that made me lose weight, but for others, illness is the cause. I highly suggest that for any family member you notice a weight loss to try this product. It works.

I often skip lunch but by 2:00 would get this headache. My doctor stated that the headache was caused by a blood sugar drop created by - surprise - skipping lunch. He suggested I try drinking Boost on the days I skipped eating lunch. This I did and my 2:00 headaches actually did stop. I don't like overly sweet things but the chocolate boost is my flavor of choice. Chocolatey but not the semi-bitter cocoa flavor and not chalky tasting. I prefer chilled Boost over room temperature. The 15 grams of protein is a big bonus; 50% more than regular Boost. The best price by far for a case of 24 is found on Amazon - and if your a Prime member - free shipping. I tried the Costco brands but neither the taste nor the protein content were as rich as Boost. An interesting side note - I sometimes suffer from indigestion in the form of nausea and stomach discomfort which is why I don't always eat. My doctor ruled out ulcers and thyroid. I started drinking Boost at the onset of these symptoms and its' actually helped ease them. I don't understand why but its' been consistent so far. That gives two good reasons why I drink this product.
