Which is the best and why?
This ranking is based on my opinion only since I have consumed three of them.
- 3rd- Boost – The only reason for giving it the 3rd position because it is not multipurpose. It is mainly efficient for increasing stamina. For people who are into outdoor sports, boost have high potential for them.

- 2nd- Horlicks – It is better then boost because though it is not that influential in increasing stamina as compared to boost but acts as an all rounder. Horlicks increases your strength and ultimately plays a major role in growth. It also improves your mental health. Better then boost because it is multipurpose but not the best because because the working efficiency is slow.

- 1st- Bournvita – The best one among all, I personally use it even at this age. Bournvita provides you strength and immunity as well as helps in growth and the work efficiency is fast that is you can witness results within months. High amount of vitamins and minerals are present if compared to horlicks and boost.
