Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My Mom was in her final stages of Alzheimers and had started to refuse solid food. As her daughter and caregiver, I was thrown into a panic. I started to do some research to see how I was going to get nutrition into her. I found an ultra high calorie version of Boost and I found Benecalorie. I wasn't just looking for calories. I wanted nutrition. Both the Boost and Benecalorie give real nutrition, vitamins and proteins, in addition to calories. Combined, they provided close to 1000 good calories in an 8 oz drink. It was the answer to my prayers. Benecalorie has no taste, so you can add it to anything without adding any weird taste. So why only 4 stars? Well, the one problem that Benecalorie has is that it thickens whatever you combine it with to the point where you could stand a spoon up in it. Whatever you put it in becomes difficult to drink or eat. I found that if you heated it, it does liquify. So I started making hot chocolate...chocolate Boost plus Benecalorie. If you put it into food, make sure it's hot food. The thickening was the ONLY problem I had with Benecalorie....a very minor problem considering it was saving her life. Being able to get that much nutrition into my Mom gave her energy and her mental health actually improved as well. So, if you are in a situation where you or someone you love can't eat solid food, for whatever reason, Benecalorie comes to the rescue. I am so grateful to have found Benecalorie at a time when it was so critical. I understand that cancer patients also find that this product allows them to get nutrition into their diets when it's otherwise impossible. I hope that this review gets read by anyone who is as desperate as I was to find a solution to a critical problem.
