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.

Is there a limit on how many servings of Ensure Plus 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.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from way too difficult to open for someone with weak hands. I pressed down following the arrows and the top didn't budge. I am giving 2 star review because of the difficulty in opening.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great taste My sister just started drinking the butter pecan ensure after a short stay in the hospital wear she was severely dehydrated from not eating and down to less then 83 lb but since she started drinking the shakes she’s regaining weight and feeling great . But she is now saying she’s not going to buy anymore because of the cost which I’m sure happens with a lot of people

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesomeness in all ways I am a huge fan of Ensure Plus!! I recently purchased it because I have lost my appetite due to medical issues and in turn have lost a tremendous amount of weight. I find that it has a delicious taste (vanilla is my favorite) and is so very kind to my tummy. I also love the fact that I am getting the nutrition that my body needs. I am in hopes that I will return to a healthy weight with this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent except for packaging. I really like Ensure Plus and it was recommended by the dietitian at Pulmonary Rehabilitation. The only problem I have is regarding the packaging. The wide mouth bottle is much more difficult to drink from than it would be if a bottle with a smaller opening were used. The fact the threads come all the way up to the top of the bottle opening make it difficult to get a good seal between lips and bottle. This leads to annoying accidents. A straw would work well but if the user needs to shake the bottle again the straw has to come out leading to more potential for a mess. Please investigate potential ways to change the bottle opening for better convenience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Even my Geriatric doctor recommends this We initially got this because of the protein. We've been using it for about 5 years so far, and get it because it tastes so good. I am 80 years old, and my Geriatric doctor insists I keep drinking it to help keep my calcium level at an acceptable level. I also drink it in lieu of dessert!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Regarding formula change I am devastated. For the last two years Ensure Plus helped me get through a period of unwanted weight loss. My health improved and I felt great. Then you changed the formula from 13 grams of protein to 16 grams of protein and the new formula gives me severe diarrhea. I assume it is from the increased amount of milk protein concentrate. Many people have a problem with A1 milk protein. Why would you do that when you already have several high protein products?
