Great product but its expensive

Pros:
No Side Effects. Acts Quickly. Simple To Take.
Cons:
Poor Value. costly .
Best Uses:
Maintaining Weight.
Describe Yourself:
parent of child.

Great product but its expensive for such a little can. Does not mix well in liquids, changes color of most liquids. Makes it hard to disguise for children to get them to drink. Mixes better in food products such as cream of wheat and mashed potatoes.

We use it 3 times daily with our 3 year-old's boost essentials 1.5 to add calories without altering the taste or increasing the volume. He doesn't know it's there, but we can tell by his weight gain!

Exactly what we were looking for! Verified Purchaser

Pros:
Produces Results. Simple To Take. Acts Quickly.

Describe Yourself:
Regular User.

My daughter has poor weight gain and this was the easiest approach to getting more calories into her diet without requiring her to eat more. We just add it to her milk and she doesn't even know it's there! Her doctor was satisfied with her improved weight gain so that makes us happy too! The best thing about buying it here is that it's a great price. Since it's not covered by my insurance this was a no brainer.

Question:
My daughter is 15 months old. The nurse practitioner said she wants her to try this product because she wants to see if she'll gain weight in 3 months. My daughter is well below the growth charts for weight/age, and the nurse practitioner thinks she may have cystic fibrosis. Before we go to an endocrinologist for testing, she wants us to try this product. How much should I give her? She's currently only 18 pounds.
