Boost (drink)
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.
