FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Nestlé Health Science on Thursday announced the launch of the next generation of nutrition drinks - a 4 fluid ounce size of Boost Calorie Smart 100 Calories Balanced Nutritional Drink and Boost Compact Complete Nutritional Drink.
“As a company, we continue to introduce innovative nutritional solutions that can make a positive impact on people's health and quality of life,” chief medical officer for Nestlé Health Science in North America Juan Ochoa said. “From the individual who needs extra nutrition to fill gaps in their diet to those recovering from surgery or an illness to those who need additional nutritional support during the recovery process - we strive to address unmet nutrition needs.”
Boost Calorie Smart 100 Calories Drink contains 10 grams of high-quality protein to help maintain muscle, 25 vitamins and minerals to help meet daily nutritional needs, calcium to support bone health and only 2 grams of sugar. It comes in rich chocolate and very vanilla flavors.
And Boost Compact Drink provides complete nutrition in half the volume of a full size nutritional drink. Distinct from any product currently on the market, each 4-fl. oz. bottle is packed with 240 calories, 10 grams of protein to help maintain muscle and 26 vitamins and minerals to help meet daily nutritional needs. Available in rich chocolate and very vanilla flavors, it also contains both calcium and vitamin D to support bone health.
Nutrient-dense, smaller sized nutritional drinks can help people get the extra nutrition they need. Studies have shown that older adults who consume a 4 fl oz nutrient-dense nutritional supplement rather than a standard-size nutritional supplement increase their calorie and protein intake significantly.
