Not much...: Infant formula is obviously very safe for infants, and is therefore also safe for adults. I'm not sure you would like the taste of it very much but everybody has different preferences. But, there is nothing inherently harmful in infant formula unless you are allergic to milk or lactose intolerant (because it is made from milk).

Infant formula: If you can tolerate the taste, you are fine.

Like chalky taste?: If you are looking for a reasonably good dietary supplement, try something like Carnation Breakfast Essentials or Ensure. Infants accept formula due to a lack of well developed taste sensors. For the cost and investment of your effort, formula would take a lot of effort with minimal value.Talk with your doc or a dietitian for more specific guidelines.
