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.

Ensure products should not be consumed by people with galactosemia.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better product for Me I have ALS and a feeding tube. I tolerate the Ensure better then all the other products they have pumped into me. I don’t get heartburn, cramps or a bloated belly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This flavor tastes richer and more complex than the others I used to get the vanilla , but the butter pecan just seems to have more body to it. Of all the products I have tried, the Ensure Plus nutrition shakes have more taste and body to them, that makes them much more satisfying.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent supplement for weight gain! I have been struggling with trying to gain weight after losing over 200 pounds while dealing with a bone cancer diagnosis. As a woman in her 40s, I have found it quite difficult to find my appetite again after feeling so sick for so long. My sister recommended for me to try Ensure since I’m so thin. I finally caved and bought the dark chocolate flavor and I have found my solution. Thank you, Abbot, For providing a shake that not only tastes great, it will keep me waiting for another every day. Thank you, thank you!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Ensure plus left constipated, with stools that consisted of small round balls hard as a rock, and difficult to pass. Needed to take stool softeners. T Tasted ok, with slight aftertaste. Needed the nutrients more than the calories. But left me with stomach ache and constipation . Stools consisted of multiple little balls hard as a rock. Needed to take stool softener. Expensive, even worse with the cost of the softener. Needed to stop taking them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for gaining weight I have been having weight issues all my life. I am always on the go and would only eat breakfast and dinner. My sister introduced me to the regular ensure, and it really didn’t do much. However, when they started receiving the butter pecan plus flavor, I started drinking it. I tell you know lie, within weeks, I started gaining weight. However, I had to train my body something I’ve never done before as well. I eat breakfast, and since my body do not hold weight I would drink the ensure 2 -3 hours after eating my breakfast. Than I would drink another one mid day with my dinner. I went from 135 to 140 within 2 weeks. I would recommend the butter pecan plus flavor to those trying to gain weight. Everything is life is a training your body purpose.
