Boost (drink)

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Boost (drink) is a brand of nutritional supplement drink that is produced by Nestlé. It is primarily marketed towards adults who are seeking to maintain a balanced diet, and is often recommended by healthcare professionals for patients who may require additional nutritional support.

History[edit | edit source]

The Boost brand was first introduced by Nestlé in the 1980s. The product was developed as a response to the growing demand for convenient, ready-to-drink nutritional supplements that could be consumed on-the-go. Since its inception, Boost has become a popular choice among consumers and healthcare professionals alike, and is now available in a variety of flavors and formulations.

Product Range[edit | edit source]

Boost offers a range of products designed to meet different nutritional needs. These include:

  • Boost Original: This is the standard formulation, which provides a balanced blend of protein, vitamins, and minerals.
  • Boost High Protein: This variant contains a higher proportion of protein, making it suitable for individuals who require additional protein in their diet.
  • Boost Plus: This product contains additional calories, and is designed for individuals who need to gain or maintain weight.
  • Boost Glucose Control: This formulation is designed for people with diabetes, and contains a balanced ratio of protein, carbohydrates, and fat to help manage blood glucose levels.

Nutritional Information[edit | edit source]

The nutritional content of Boost drinks varies depending on the specific product. However, all Boost drinks are fortified with a range of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, and calcium. They also contain a source of protein, which can help to support muscle health.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Boost drinks are typically consumed as a supplement to a balanced diet, rather than as a meal replacement. They can be consumed at any time of day, but are often recommended as a snack between meals. Boost drinks are ready-to-drink and do not require any preparation.
