An excellent formula that tastes great and provides me with the nutrition I need to supplement my limited food intake.

The formula is truly amazing and the taste is great. I enjoy having this everyday to help maintain a balanced diet and energy levels to the max. I highly recommend you try it.

I was under the impression that Sustagen Hospital Vanilla was not as noticeably sweet in the past as it is now. I know now that it is not my imagination and that it is a lot sweeter than it was 12 months ago when I was taking it as a dietary supplement for quite a while and it did accomplish what it was supposed to do.

heaps of sugar and excessive price not healthy, also gave me the runs....it has many user negatives.

Tastes amazing gives so much energy and good for when your in a rush and have no time for breakfast i would highly recommend this to anyone super thankful of this product

How many times a day can i take sustagen as i cannot eat any solid foods? I know it says recommended is 2 times, but can i take it 3 or even 4 times if necessary?

I have tried Pediasure, Sustagen Kids Vanilla. My kid likes Sustagen strawberry, she had growth & weight problems.
We started to use Sustagen hospital strawberry drink she put on height and weight.

Sustagen hospital is great, but it doesn't dissolve properly, even though I mix it with boiling water, before I add the milk. I end up with a pile of ''gunk'' at the bottom of my glass, that I have to wash down the sink.

The hospital formula contains way too much sugar to be good for your health. Powdered milk and a daily multi-vitamin pill will do exactly the same thing without all that sugar. What a rip-off!

I went through a major operation was unable to eat solid food or even a drink 4 ten days due to a ruptured esophagus. This drink was the only product that i was able to consume Vanilla was great compared to the more sickly flavours make sure it is the hospital version. Ensure is another brand at the chemist great flavour a bit more expensive.

My child battles to pick up weight. (Wish I had the same problem ;-)) We have been from carbs to full creams and more (meats) protein diets and nothing works like sustagen. She trains really hard and we have found that sustagen helps her through "tough" training. The doctor and dietician also suggested to drink it after a muscle injury that didn't want to heal. We feel that it did the job and I will recommend it to people doing "real"training.

Calling this a 'Hospital Formula' is such a scam. This product is just dried milk, sugar and a fairy sprinkle of synthetic vitamins. You would be better off having a glass of milk and a piece of fruit. It is NOT healthy. Synthetic vitamins, at the level in this product, do not encourage healthy eating or promote health. If you want the extra vitamins/minerals you are better off taking a multivitamin/mineral tablet (with the milk and fruit!). The fact that doctors and nurses promote this in hospitals is such a scam and shows their level of nutritional knowledge is so inadequate (do they get kick backs I wonder?).

The sugar content of this formula was so high I could not drink it. Has the formula changed in the last few years?It is so sweet it is sickly.

I have always used Optimum and have found it brilliant. I had to buy the new vanilla the other day because Optimum was out of stock and found it too hard to digest. I don't know why but it just didn't agree with me. Fortunately I've gone back to Optimum with no problems qgain.

February 5th 2018 Update: Sustagen Hospital Formula

I use Sustagen everyday. I feel it has kept me healthy throughout my illnesses and I have tried the new vanilla and coffee flavours. They are fantastic.

This supliment has all the nessesary ingredients then they kill it with so much sugar it's undrinkable .
Sugar and salt should not be involved in any health suppliment
as any nutritional expert will agree.

Proform Nutritional Supplement in neutral is fantastic, I've not tried vanilla or chocolate but I doubt they'd be as sweet as Sustagen. Sadly the neutral sustagen is too sweet.

So, improving the taste means increasing sugar? I no longer buy this product since they "improved the taste", used daily for over 6 years and had to stop, just undrinkable.

I am working in a Pharmacy, my customer has just left my shop without buying sustagen as she has told me the new formula taste is terrible.
She will not buy the product if the taste doesn't change back.
