Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 18 | I purchased a product named "Benecalorie" for my husband (we originally received samples from his Dr's at UCLA). It's a small 1.5 ounce nutrient pack you mix in your food and it's 330 calories. He personally did not like it and just drinks "Ensures". I hate to waste the 40 packets I have left. I would be happy to ship the remainder of the product to anyone who could use it. I hate to thow them away when there's others that could use it. If you'd like them please e-mail me and I'll mail them this week. Thank you. Tamara (husband is Kyle 51) | | |

that stuff tasted awful and looked oily. When I used it was via a PEG tube... no taste this way.
I sent my surplus to a hospice, if you do not get any "bites" here that may be a way to go.

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 718 | I also have extra Benecalorie, Carnation VHC and various other supplements. My husband didn't have a peg and he'd force that Benecalorie down without mixing it into anything...it was nasty. However, it was only a few spoonfuls and it contributed to a lot of calories. If anyone wants to try either, please let me know. Otherwise, like Markus, I'll donate it to a hospice or nursing home.
