Does Ensure help you gain weight?

Different Ensure products are designed to meet different nutrition needs. Some Ensure Products (Ensure Original, Ensure Plus, and Ensure Enlive) are designed to provide complete, balanced nutrition to help people maintain or gain a healthy weight, particularly for patients who are at risk of malnutrition or are experiencing involuntary weight loss. On the other hand, Ensure High Protein, Ensure Light and Ensure Clear are designed to provide supplemental protein and other nutrients in fewer calories than Ensure Original, Ensure Plus, and Ensure Enlive. Click here to find the right Ensure for you.

Is there a limit on how many servings of Ensure one can consume each day?

The greatest quantity of Ensure/Ensure Plus that would be recommended for adults is 6 - 8 servings per day. A serving is considered 8 fl oz. As always, please check with your healthcare professional regarding individual needs and recommendations. This limit is based on the nutrients in a single serving compared to the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for all nutrients established and recorded in the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) established standards. ULs for nutrients can be found on DRI tables at http://fnic.nal.usda.gov/.

Is Ensure lactose-free?

All Ensure products contain some lactose but do not represent a medical concern for individuals with lactose intolerance due to the small amount.

Ensure products should not be consumed by people with galactosemia.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Milk Chocolate is my favorite. I started using Ensure 2 years ago when I was first diagnosed with cancer. Thankfully, I am now in remission. I really like the Milk Chocolate flavor of Ensure Original. But without coupons, I will not be able to afford it . Thanks for the times you have sent coupons to me. Also, I have my friends collect coupons for me, however, recently, the only coupons whey have given me are for Ensure products that are not for the Original flavor. I like to drink one before I go to bed and when I first get up in the morning.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for low appetite. I suffer mental health issues that leave me without an appetite. These give me what I lose in those days or weeks where I can't bring myself to eat as much as I need. Thank you for this!
