Nepro Liquid Nutrition, Homemade Vanilla, 8-Ounce Case of 24 Containers

This product is a shake intended for people on dialysis treatment as I am. The dialysis treatment is a process in which your blood is cleaned of toxins due to kidney failure-the kidneys are the filters of the body and if they become impaired one suffers since the toxins stay in the body with deadly consequences. This treatment helps you stay alive for years even though your kidneys are not working. But, like any medical treatment, it has horrible side effects and one of them is that you get out of the treatment depleted of vitamins, minerals, and proteins-you feel tired, washed out, cranky, hungry, thirsty, wobbly, dizzy, and without energy-in fact one feels like a zombie. One good thing is that you can drink this shake and it replenishes your body again and you start feeling like yourself again. I drink it every time I get out of dialysis and it works for me-I have been in dialysis for seven years and many people don't believe I am since I look good and energetic. I recommend it to anyone in dialysis and maybe in other treatments but it is important to consult with your doctor first- it is not good to auto medicate oneself.

Good product, prompt delivery appreciated.

Taste ok. They should make chocolate. The drink is very thick and almost made me throw up. Add half a cup of water yo dilute it.

My husband has chronic kidney disease. He has to watch his potassium and phosphate levels which is really hard. He needs to maintain or gain weight. This is the perfect thing to add to his diet for calories. Very dense caloric content of 425 calories for just 8 oz. He says the vanilla tastes like a milkshake. He drinks 2 per day. They are very expensive, cheaper this way than buying in store though. It is worth it to us to get the nutrition...just wish they were less $$ so others could use them if they could not afford. I checked all 24 cans as there had been posts of dented and empties. All of mine were full, only 1 had a small dent
