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 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 This product helped me maintain weight during Chemo Four years ago when I went through chemotherapy for cancer, the chemo nurse recommended I drink at least one Ensure Plus per day. I am lactose intolerant and was able to drink it with no adverse affect. Also, along with a high protein diet my red blood cell counts did not fall. My doctor was very pleased.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Helps with Weight Gain, Taste Overall Not That Good I bought this in hopes of gaining weight, and the strawberry shake doesn't taste that good, but it is not bad. It doesn't taste like strawberry. It does however have lots of carbs (50g) and many minerals we need.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolute lifesaver I first came across Ensure 10 years ago. I went through a period of severe anxiety and dropped so much weight, I was under 100 lbs. The Ensure Plus helped me get the nutrients I needed and put me back on track towards returning to a healthy weight. Now, 10 years later, I'm pregnant with twins, and I have zero appetite. I've picked up the Ensure once again to help out. The vanilla is my favorite flavor; it's got a great taste and is really kind to my tummy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Taste I love the taste of this product, although I've had OTC Ensure, the one I've been drinking since a few days ago is the therapeutic nutrition variety. I'm a fan of both, Especially since the therapeutic nutrition one has 3 grams of fiber. My mom brought it home from a retirement facility that needed to get rid of it, as it was to expire in a month.
