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.

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/.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Lumpy The three six packs of Ensure Plus Chocolate. all were lumpy inside each bottle. We had to throw them away store wouldn't take them back

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Too thick. I bought these instead of the regular original strawberry ones because I had a coupon that did not include the original recipe. And I bought four 6packs. As soon as I started to shake it I was thinking something was off. And I was right. It is so thick like paint. Very paint like. Impossible to drink. Only makes me wonder what is happening inside my digestive tract with this weird pink slime. And I couldn't get a refund because of covid-19 restrictions. No refunds or exchanges allowed. The regular ensure and the enlive is ok. But this one is too thick.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very good at putting weight on Excellent product. Does what it says, and tastes great. Whenever I’m sick and don’t have an appetite, I keep these on hand. I highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to drink when I have no appetite from cancer treatment I have been in cancer treatment since 12/2018 and I lost 30 pounds since that time, I struggle with having an appetite and I'm now working on gaining weight since I finished chemo in April. I found that the butter pecan and the strawberry are really good and do not have that "chalky taste" that a lot of protein drinks have. I first tried the vanilla and chocolate and I did not like either of those and found them very difficult to consume because of both the texture and the flavor but strawberry and butter pecan are both really good.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Disgusting flaky chunks The past three bottles of this I have tried to drink have been chocked full of nasty scaly whitish chunks. I don’t have any idea what these chunks are, but my nest guess is they’re congealed chunks of corn starch or something. Regardless, they’re disgusting and ruin an appetite.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the dark chocolate the best I've been drinking the dark chocolate Ensure for a few years and just love it. Not only is it better tasting than the milk chocolate but one time I bought the vanilla flavor and found that it was my second favorite flavor. The dark chocolate is the best. I drink one per day so when I buy a three six pack it lasts me 18 days. I would go shopping every two weeks until the pandemic hit. Fresh Direct only has the vanilla and the milk chocolate and not the dark chocolate.
