Dead.

Be aware: This is a PROBIOTIC product like the Activia yogart and those Cheeses and Granola bars with Probiotics in them. Some kids get diarhea from this stuff.

Info:
How does BOOST Kid Essentials Nutritionally Complete Drink support a strong immune system?

The straw provided with BOOST Kid Essentials Drink is specially formulated to deliver an effective daily dose of the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri Protectis.


Emerging Importance of Probiotics

Probiotics – an Introduction

Ingestion of probiotics dates back thousands of years, and not just in adults. Many countries worldwide have a tradition of introducing live active cultures (bacteria) to infants and children early in life, in fermented foods such as yogurt.

Probiotics (meaning “for life”) are live, nonpathogenic microorganisms that, when consumed in adequate amounts, provide specific health benefits to the host.1 Clinical benefits include aiding digestion, treating and preventing viral diarrhea, reducing the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and supporting a healthy immune system.2-4 Approximately 70-80% of the body’s immune cells are located within the gastrointestinal tract, specifically within the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT).5

The dietary use of probiotics is strain-specific; various probiotics promote different health benefits.6 Lactobacillus is one of the most widely studied genera of probiotics, proving numerous health benefits across many illnesses.6 BOOST® Kid Essentials Nutritionally Complete Drink contains Lactobacillus reuteri Protectis, delivered through the straw, to help support a healthy immune system.

Probiotics contribute to a healthy immune system by:2-4
Balancing the intestinal flora; probiotics increase the number of beneficial bacteria and occupy receptors to displace harmful bacteria
Acidifying the intestinal lumen to create an environment unfavorable to less desirable bacteria
Improving gut barrier function through the production of short-chain fatty acids, especially butyric acid
Helping to build and maintain a healthy immune system; modulating the immune response and increasing production of immunoglobulins (such as secretory-IgA)
Enhancing the production of a balanced T-helper cell response (by influencing the differentiation of T-helper cells into Th1 or Th2 cells)
Why is a balanced microflora important?
A healthy intestinal flora performs many important functions in the body, including:
Digestion of complex foods, such as fiber
Enhancing the absorption of nutrients from food
Synthesis of vitamins
Supporting the intestinal barrier function

May not be bad for your 6 year old but my dad used to drink the boost plus and his DR said he had extremely high potassium from the boost and told him to stop drinking them.

Thank you, MNLPHS, for posting for us...

call his dr 1st and check with him

Thanks and repped! :thumbup:

If you want to avoid the high potassium, give the boost drinks as a supplement, only. When you decide to do McDonald's for dinner, maybe. Just don't give this and a lot of fruits and juices, too, since they are also high in potassium. These aren't made for everyday unless your child is a VERY ticky eater and won't eat hardly any veggies or fruits. ;)

Thank you OP, great post! :D

thank you

Thanks

Thanks N Repped

thanks

Thanks & Reps:nod:

awesome find!.. I sent one to my neighbor as well for her little one.. repped!

Attention - Beware of the Probiotics in this product if your kids are sensitive to stuff like Activia Yogurt or those Probiotic cheese snacks.

I added info to the wiki on how this is not just a Boost drink for kids (loaded with sugar of course) - it's Boost drink (loaded with sugar) PLUS Probiotics. I'd check with your family doctor before handing one of these to the children. I frequent the Kraft food website messageboards and their probiotic producrs get lots of posts about how kids and adults have gotten sick from their probiotic products.

I think the products are probably safe if used AS DIRECTED but lots of folks don't realize that Probiotic products can't be gobbled up or guzzled down like their regular counterparts without the potential for some very unpleasant hours in the bathroom!

Just be careful is all. I'm not trying to alrm people, just give them a head's up.

Thanks!! :bounce:

Activia YogurtI agree with this one...one a day keeps you movin'

i have to crush up peas and carrots so he wont see them. and then he hunts through his food and finds it:lol: so it may be an good idea then:nod: :) he eats beans, corn, potatoes but that about all the veggies he will eat by himself. but fruit he eats apples, grapes and stuff like that even raisins. i will just try it and end up being a weekly frink for extr nutrition or half a bottle one day and the other later:)

I Receive My Coupon Also The Other Day:)

Got our coupon yesterday.

Got my coupon yesterday

I am sure Walgreens have these too. According to the site, its $14.49

I have it but I don't know what to do with it because I don't have any little kid. I love to trade or give away. I hate to see it waste.

Got mine, too. My boys like it. They tried a sample a couple months ago at the Ped's office. The Ped recommends serving it cold. They gave my boys a nice cold sample and they loved it!

I found 6 packs of chocolate and vanilla at Walgreens for $13.49.
Has a $5.00 coupon printed on inside of carton.

I recieved 2! I have no idea why but they were both sent to me with all the exact info! It must have been a printing error but Im not complaning.

Wow those things are really expensive. I wonder why that is? Are they really any different than any other nutritional drink on the market?

My kids like it frozen, and eaten with a spoon (you've got to have a long, skinny spoon!)

Maybe people could list in the wiki where they buy this. I went to Target and Safeway and neither had it.

Got my coupon yesterday

Is this coming in the USPS mail or email?

Is this coming in the USPS mail or email?

mine came regular mail ;)

Is this coming in the USPS mail or email?

Comes in the USPS mail. They carry these at our Homeland, Walmart, and Target. I got some for my wife to drink when she gets her tonsils out in a few weeks.

Got mine today, too. Great offer.

I forgot I signed-up for this. My family always laughs at me when I'm surprised at what comes in the mail. Anyway, mine has a 2/22 expiration date. I couldn't find it at our Walmart though I didn't try real hard.

Maybe people could list in the wiki where they buy this. I went to Target and Safeway and neither had it.
I found mine at target in the baby formula isle for 9.99. It states do not freeze, maybe because of the probiotic straws?

Has any tried it yet?

Couldn't find any of this product at Hy-Vee supermarkets.

HEB (Texas) has them in stock, but they wouldn't accept my coupon.

Picked up the last 2 packs from my local CVS Pharmacy in Morganton, NC. They only had 2 Vanilla packs left and I was hoping for chocolate. I nicely ask the cashier if I could ring up the two coupons separate thinking that there was no way I could get both coupons to work in a single transaction. Well, she was nice enough to tell me that their system would allow you to scan more than one of the same coupons in one transaction.

The bad thing was that even though coupon subtracted the total cost of the item meaning:
13.9913.99-13.99coupon-13.99coupon=0.00, I still had to pay $1.98 in taxes.

Have not tried them yet since someone recommended to drink them cold. Will try them tomorrow when it's chilled.

HEB (Texas) has them in stock, but they wouldn't accept my coupon.

My HEB would not take the coupon either, but I was able to redeem 2 coupons at target, no questions asked, go there :)

:lol: :yummy: Wow...this is great.....I hope the kids love this deal too ;)

YAY, thanx MNLPHS!

:drool: :heart:

I used mine today. My Winn Dixie and Walgreens are only stores here carry them.
I went to the new CVS here today and seen Boost (not Kids Essentials) 6 pk on clearance for $2.50.

HEB (Texas) has them in stock, but they wouldn't accept my coupon.

My HEB would not take the coupon either, but I was able to redeem 2 coupons at target, no questions asked, go there :)

My HEB didn't even blink at it. Took it with no problem. It required manager approval b/c it was over $10, but that's it. I think it was $10.99 at the store.

I live in Texas..Kroger took mine... sheeesh I can't believe a 6 pack of these is almost $15.00. I drank one, they taste like the regular Boost.

I got them at SweetBay took it with no problem... Publix wouldnt take them

UTAH: Target in Jordan Landing has it $9.99--no problem using coupon. HTH

death upon the stores who don't take a LEGIT COUPON

got my coupon but havent tried redeeming it yet

I got mine at Target in SC for 9.99 too -no problems :)

Has anyone in WA had any luck finding these?

I have received that coupon. Not able to find out in Kroger, Walmart and Target.

I have received that coupon. Not able to find out in Kroger, Walmart and Target.
it was by the baby formula at the Target I went to :) check there

I know a lot of stores dont have these, just glad my Winn Dixie does. I went back last night for more.

Thanks

These straws are kinda awesome. I tried the chocolate and taste a bit nasty but its great if you keep drinking it. Heck i can't complain free but pay like 90 cents tax.

The only place I could find them were at Walgreens.

Has anyone in WA had any luck finding these?

I just spoke to the customer service @ boost, they told me WAGs and Target carries those...Called Walgreens,they said they don't carry it...called Lynnwood target they have chocolate flavor 6-pk. for $7.39.

our WAG's wasn't going to accept, then the mgr. came & honored the coupon

it's getting 2 the point where i dont even wanna print any coupons out, it wasting ink

Couldn't find any of this product at Hy-Vee supermarkets.

The one in omaha 36th and L have them.. Baby Isle top shelf by the forumla.

I used two coupons at CVS, but had to convince the Manager to take the two coupons, as I was buying two of the products :doh: Gawd he's an awful Manager and just hates it when you walk away with a zero on your total :) I bought other items, had a $5 off $25 purchase, and rang up with $0.0 dollars, he wasn't happy as usual - too bad. I got the Vanilla flavor, and I gave them to a woman who's child really needs this and can't afford it.

Only place I could find it was Publix. My little grandson loved the chocolate one. OK, maybe I messed up. I poured his in a sippy cup. Do you have to drink it with the straw they provide to get all the nutritional benefit? Or did I miss read? TIA for any info,

this stuff is great
got my coupons and used both of them
it is a shame for all you who do not live near any stores that carry it bc all around here they have it
vanilla is the best!:O

I have one FREE Boost Kid Essentials coupon which expires on 2/22/09.

PM me if you want to trade with something else. HURRY, coupon exps soon.

I don't know how many are military...but they have these at the commissaries I can't remember if they are in the juice isle or baby

I got one, but am really not going to use it-----pm me and I'll send it to someone. :o)

Found mine in the baby aisle at Target in Everett. I asked the Target employee working that department where to find it and he didn't know...but it was there. They had both vanilla and chocolate in stock and they cost $9.99. With coupon, I paid no tax.

I tried the chocolate flavor. They are alright. I didn't like the fact that the first 2 main ingredients were water and sugar.

Thanks

it was by the baby formula at the Target I went to :) check there

Thanks!! I have been trying to find it!!

Thanks!! I have been trying to find it!!Me too, I didn't look at Target, now I will. :thanks:

I have received that coupon. Not able to find out in Kroger, Walmart and Target.

Hi, Try the baby food section.

My Kroger had Vanilla and Chocolate left. (Kroger, Southern WV area ) Shelf Price was $11.99.

Couldnt find in Walmart or Foodland, CVS or Rite Aid. No Target in my area.

Also... my sister in CT (eastern CT ) got her coupon and went to Big Y. They wouldnt accept the coupon until they verified it first. Once they verified, the let her have one.



My daughter tried it. Said it was okay but a bit bland.

Hope that helps!

I've found this at Walgreens, too. I think it was 13.99 there.

My 2 yo DD likes it, but then she likes the ensure, pediasure, and boost type things.

Didn't search all replies to this post, but ours had a coupon for $5 off inside the box for anyone planning to buy again. So be sure and check. My kids ripped mine, but I plan to tape it back together.

I found them at the following stores: (Morganton, NC to Hickory, NC)

CVS Pharmacy
Walgreens
Target
Food Lion
Ingles (have 3 flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry)

I have only bought the Vanilla and Chocolate. My two daugthers do not like Vanilla but sure does love the Chocolate.

it was by the baby formula at the Target I went to :) check there

I found it at Target by the baby formula too, and I was able to use a $2 off Target coupon for Kids Essentials, so it was a money maker. :)

It came in the Sunday newspaper a couple of weeks ago. I can't remember exact date, but it was in a double page with many Target coupons for Nestle products. HTH!
