Polycose is a glucose based supplement. It looks just like sugar. You

can add it to anything. I put it in all of sage's bottles, veggies,

fruit and cereal. I bought it at CVS in the US. You didnt need a

prescription to get it but if you had one it was cheaper. You should

definetely start using it, its an easy way to add extra calories.

Hope this helps!
