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 Excellent source of protein for elderly parent Ensure was recommended by the primary care physician to add protein to to my elderly father's diet. My dad is very selective when it comes to drinking such beverages but he is always willing to drink the vanilla Ensure. Thank you for helping us to keep him healthy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great nutrition and helped me lose weight I enjoy the rich, dark chocolate flavor. It provides so much great nutrition and also is easily digestible. During a colitis flare, I use Ensure for several days, three times a day and it helps return me to normal. Other days, I have it for dinner and it keeps my weight in check.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great taste I love the Coffee Latte. It has a great taste - not too sweet - just right. Thank you for an excellent protein drink.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Disappointing Contains sucralose. This ingredient is a deal-breaker for me in any product because it gives me a terrible upset stomach and pains. There are so many more natural sweeteners. I had to move on to Boost.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product Great and satisfying taste! I am a 55 year old male who have suffered muscle loss for no reason other than aging. I started seeing my muscle and weight increase with regular use of Ensure. I have tried Ensure regular and high protein daily. Both of them are good, but the regular Ensure is budget friendly. Will continue to use for the long term to maintain weight, muscle and overall health. Do you offer coupons when buying by the case? Thank you!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Eating Disorder Recovery So overall this product has saved my life in eating disorder recovery. It was all I was able to tolerate in the hospital and in residential treatment. It was a great way to get the nutrition that I needed and I still drink it even though I am out of treatment because I am now a freshman in college and don't always have time. I am a little concerned at the sugar content and if that is a normal amount of sugar. If one bottle has 15g and one meal is at least two, That means you consume 90g of sugar at least a day if you have six servings. I don't know if anyone else has thought about this I am just curious you know?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Vanillia Love this product. Been using on and off for years. I enjoy the Vanilla and Chocolate flavors. But what ever happened to the Homemade Vanilla flavor that was my absolute favorite.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Great flavor, but omit sucralose & Red 3 I would recommend because the Dark Chocolate has great flavor, but you need to omit sucralose & Red 3. Stevia is a good sugar substitute.
