User questions & answers

Question:	I’m 5’7 and 130lb and i wanna gain weight and i was recommended this. how much should i drink to get the best results
Answer:	No, the different "types" of boost do not tend to get along very well. When you "mix" them in the same container the tend to get into skirmishes and ultimately "eliminate" one another! Please do not "mix" these simple minded creatures.
Question:	Is this milk chocolate
Answer:	I prefer the taste of the Vanilla over the Ensure Max High Protein. I usually shop around for the best prices and when coupons are available.
Question:	The chocolate will be coming back yes? And will the strawberry be avaible soon
Answer:	Sure can....we drink it all different ways.Sometimes we chill the bottles,other times drink room temperature...Boost on ice is good,but the ice cube melts do it waters it down a bit.
Question:	do I need to keep it in refrigerator before I open it
Answer:	There are 2 separate packages of 12 bottles each for a total of 24 bottles.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will I be able to return this to Amazon in the event I dislike the taste
Answer:	I would assume so if the bottles have no been opened, but you would need to contact Amazon customer service to find out for sure. It may be different since it is a food stuff. Also, this is not the best tasting stuff. It reminds me of canned milk and it is sweet. It also has a bit of a vitamin taste. So, it is not going to taste like a milkshake.
Question:	Do any Ensure drinks have '0' dairy content and low sugar
Answer:	They contain milk protein concentrate and sugar. The "standard" version is often marketed as a meal replacement drink for diabetics, so I would *assume* fairly low sugar. Best bet is to check the label at the grocery for the style (e.g. regular, added fiber, etc) you're interested in.
Question:	I didn't receive all of the bottle in my recent order, how can I get into contact with Ensure so this mistake can be fixed
Answer:	I tried contact them and they were only asking to return everything if i wanted a refund. I was missing 7 in my last order.... 11/2020.
Question:	Does this contain caffeine
Answer:	Hello! I checked the images for ingredients and do not see any caffeine listed. I definitely don't recall the product I bought having any coffee buzz only the flavor, which is artificial. This is the link to the amazon product ingredients image if it helps. Best to you https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71FMpOH1O7L._SL1312_.jpg

User questions & answers

Question:	How many hrs of Sugar in each one
Answer:	There are 8 grams of sugar.
Question:	I weigh under 100 pounds and I’m 18 5’1 will this help me to gain weight
Answer:	Before you start any program like you are proposing, you should consult your doctors and then a dietitian. According to Dr. Robert Lustig, UC San Francisco, the leading cause for weight gain (obesity) are chips, French fries, sugar like soft drinks cookies etc. High animal protein can cause your blood PH to become acidic and to neutralize this, your body will extract calcium from your bones, making it weaker and in old age, cause osteoporosis. Good luck.
Question:	What is the expiration date
Answer:	What is the expiration date
Question:	What are the ingredients? Does this product contain artificial sweeteners
Answer:	there are too ingredients to list here; 1st 5 are: water, milk protein concentrate, sugar (4gs only; less than Boost), soy protein isolate and canola oil. Go to Ensure.com for more information or call 1-800-986-8727. I prefer the Vanilla flavor vs. chocolate (and I like chocolate generally).

The Power of Protein

Protein plays a critical role in the functioning of the human body. Your body needs the proper amount of protein every day for building, repairing, and maintaining tissues.

How Much Protein Do I Need?

Protein needs may vary based on age, gender, and physical activity. A guideline to find the right amount is to multiply your body weight in pounds by 0.4–0.6 to determine the grams of protein needed per day.1-3

Question:	How many shakes do u receive in one order
Answer:	You receive the number of shakes you order!
Question:	This is a huge sugar bomb! Is there an alternative that's somewhat diabetic friendlier
Answer:	My physician says that this is likely an unnecessary product for most people. He is suspicious of the sugar content and the "fish oil" which may have no immediate medical value at all. Fish oil has been a big scam for a few years now, it is usually promoted as a cholesterol-reducing agent but there are now studies which medicate that some sources of fish oil may actually increase your cholesterol. What is the source of the fish oil in this product? Most persons do not need an omega-3 supplement at all, according to knowledgeable consumer groups.

Preoperative Carbohydrate Loading Comparison

One 10-fl-oz bottle of Ensure Pre-Surgery contains 50 g of carbohydrates, the amount recommended by ERAS Society guidelines for preoperative carb loading.‡ A patient would have to drink more than twice that amount of the leading sports drink at a time to get the same amount of recommended carbohydrates. Ensure Pre-Surgery is low in osmolality, which means it leaves the stomach quickly.5 That allows a patient to drink it up to 2 hours before surgery and can mean reduced postoperative nausea and vomiting.6,7

‡Studies conducted using formulas containing similar nutrients as Ensure Pre-Surgery. Be sure to follow the nutrition program recommended by your doctor.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does ensure light come in vanilla? 70 calorie one
Answer:	Yes, that is the only one I order and have tasted.
Question:	The top says "easy open." I appreciate the thought, but I can't get that plastic strip started without a knife-like tool. What am I missing here
Answer:	I agree it's difficult. Since it comes in a six-pack, I totally open everything on all six at one time. I cut them all apart, I use the knife to get plastic off, and then I open each one because they are really tight. That way my 91 year old mom can help herself to them
Question:	Is this a thicker protein drink
Answer:	I drink Ensure light for the protein. Its creamy ( not as thin as milk.). I also like the mocha light Ensusre but I can't get it anymore. The ensure is just sweet enough. The light has only 70 calories.
Question:	is this low sodium
Answer:	No It's low calorie. Low sodium is defined as 140 mg per serving This product has 310 mg
