Nestlé’s Boost brand launched a pre-meal drink to help consumers suppress their hunger and create a feeling of being full. The product is available on Amazon and select CVS stores.

The Lean Cuisine and Hot Pockets manufacturer said the liquid, which should be consumed 10 minutes to 30 minutes before a meal, promotes the body’s natural production of the hormone GLP-1. The Boost offering contains 10 grams of protein and 45 calories per serving.

The mocha-flavored Boost shot is marketed toward consumers using GLP-1 drugs or other medications to help them maintain or lower their weight. It is not intended to replace weight-loss drugs and it is less powerful than the medications, according to Nestlé.
