Boost Glucose Control Nutritional Drink, Chocolate Sensation, 8 fl oz Bottle, 44 Pack (44 Pack)

I have been recuperating from back to back major surgeries and the recovery has not been easy. Boost has become an essential part of my diet. I drink four bottles of this per day and it provides me with the essential protein and calories that I need to make a full recovery. Even though I am almost fully recovered, I plan to continue to use this product. Price wise it compares to the other protein drinks on the market and I don't have to prepare anything. I just drink it right out of the bottle. Even though I am not diabetic, I buy the glucose control formula because it has so much less sugar than the regular formula.

My whole life I've struggled with weight and eating. Until I bought these.I've not dieted for a month now, and the effects of having 1 to 3 of these a day (never exceding 100 carbs) are staggering. Combining Boost glucose control with no carb diet yields staggering results. My stomach has shrank, I eat less, and am less out of breath. No exercise routine yet at all. After week 2 results, I am happy to say that it isn't just water weight in losing.This Boost contains more vitamins for those in need of weight loss and higher metabolism. 200% of E, and a nice dosage of B6. Having just one of these for breakfast, and then eating diet friendly foods is enough.Rich chocolate is my favorite, and tastes really good when chilled. It kind of tastes like a nice pudding, who can hate that!The only con I have, is that these do leave a build up on your teeth over time. Nothing bad, you can just feel with your tongue. Easily fixed by brushing your teeth regularly (as you should) but I recommend mouth wash to really clear it in hard to reach areas.These meal replacement drinks combined with other low carb meals, make losing weight a game changer.And you know, I even got to eat whatever I wanted for Thanksgiving and still lost weight.

I have gestational diabetes, and this drink was recommended to me by my dietician. I have to eat 6-7 times a day, and these make a super convenient carb + protein snack when I need something on the go. They taste better cold, but they're fine at room temperature too. And considering how strict my diet is, drinking something that tastes like chocolate is a treat!I have never been able to tolerate the taste of "fake sugar" in food and drinks, so for me, "sugar free" and "diet" alternatives all taste so horrible that I'd rather do without them (sodas, coffee creamer, candy, yogurts, etc.). I'm not exactly sure how these drinks are sweetened, but they do not have that nasty fake sugar taste! Highly recommend!

The product packaging states that the product is "SUITABLE FOR LACTOSE INTOLERANCE".That was not my experience at all.I have lactose intolerance. Over a 9-day period after receiving this product, I tried consuming 4 of the 24 bottles contained in the shipment. Hours after drinking the first bottle, I had severe digestive upset that lasted for the majority of a day.I then went a day without drinking a bottle. I was fine. I then consumed a second bottle. Hours later, I again had severe digestive upset that lasted for the majority of a day.To help rule out other potential causes of the digestive upset, I consumed a third and a fourth bottle, each separated by a period of 24-to-48 hours without drinking the product.The results were the same: For each bottle consumed, hours later I suffered severe digestive upset that lasted for the majority of a day.Prior to trying this product, I had been able to digest any product containing dairy if the product had no detectable lactose left (e.g. Fairlife lactose-free milk, Lifeway kefir, Yoplait-brand yogurt, pepperjack cheese, american cheese, cooked mozzarella cheese, etc.). The "Boost Glucose Control" drink is now the (apparent) exception to that.Food products containing dairy that have detectable lactose give me severe digestive upsets. (Example food products include milk without the lactase enzyme added, cheddar cheese, cheesecake, any food item containing buttermilk, and any food item containg butter.)After water, the next most-common ingredient in the Boost Glucose Control drinks is "milk protein concentrate". I understand that proteins are not sugars. So ideally, there should be no lactose remaining in the "milk protein concentrate" used in this product. However, every time I consumed this product, I suffered severe symptoms exactly the same as lactose intolerance. So I am wondering if there is a non-zero quantity of lactose left over in the parricular "milk protein concentrate" ingredient that is currently sourced to create the Boost Glucose Control product.I have posted this review to help warn others with lactose intolerance that the Boost Glucose Control product may not be worth your time and money.Interestingly, last week I found that there is a type of lactose-free milk that staves off hunger between meals better for me than the Boost Glucose Control product did: "Fairlife" brand lactose-free milk. It has nearly double the protein content of nearly all other brands of milk: 13 grams of protein per cup, compared to 8 or 9 grams of protein per cup of the other brands of milk, and compared to the 16 g in the lactose-intolerance-symptom-triggering Boost Glucose Control product.The Fairlife-brand milk also has the following benefits compared to the Boost Glucose Control product:- less than half the calories- 0 mg of cholesterol, compared to 10 mg in the Boost product- about half of the sodium of the Boost product (the Boost product is too salty for me)- 8 times the potassium (which helps reduce muscle soreness after exercise)Again, I have posted this review to help warn others with lactose intolerance that the Boost Glucose Control product may not be worth your time and money. Spare yourself the multi-hour bathroom trips associated with severe digestive upset.

This is so delicious! I don't know how some people don't like the taste. This taste so good that my 21 year old son tries to snatch one in his lunch for work. He also loves it because it's so high in protein however I have told him it's only for me to help control my blood sugar levels and it certainly works. I've bought these a handful of times and I will continue to do so. I was thinking of trying another brand but after tasting this one I have no desire to try another brand. SO good!!
