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 Great product I didn’t think it was going to taste good At all but it isn’t bad at all! I used to drink them everyday for breakfast. Once I stopped I felt like crap! I highly recommend them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Rich, full flavor I've tried other protein drinks and the other brands have left a bad after taste. I felt like I was drinking crushed up chalk that's had water added to it with the other brands. With Ensure, I can honestly say that I've been pleasantly surprised and have found none of that to be true. That is DEFINITELY NOT the case with Ensure. I was skeptical at first to try, but glad I did. I enjoy a bottle every morning with breakfast or on my drive doing errands. I prefer the milk chocolate, but I have tried Strawberry and enjoy that flavor as will. None of the chalky taste or terrible after taste like you have with other brands. I would highly recommend Ensure to anyone and everyone as a great part of a healthy diet. One more side note. I don't often give high marks on reviews of products, unless I truly believe they are well deserved. I get them out lightly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WORKS GREAT - GAINED 3 lbs. When I came out of the hospital for Right Lower Lobe pneumonia they wanted me to drink Ensure everyday to gain my strength back and add some weight to my 88 pound body. Last Thursday at my PCP (Primary Care Physician) I weighed 98.8 pounds. In six weeks I gained 10 lbs. and some strength. Pass me another ENSURE !
