Ensure Original Nutrition Shake with Fiber, 9g High-quality Protein, Meal Replacement Shakes, Vanilla, 8 fl oz, 24 Count

I have never been a breakfast eater, even when I was a child. My father had a heck of a time with that one! Fast forward 30-some years and now I have epilepsy and an entire basket full of pills to take multiple times a day. Mornings were a problem. Eating made me feel sick. The pills made me actually get sick on an empty stomach. My doctor recommended these and they were the perfect solution. It coats my stomach and allows me to be able to handle the pills, yet the liquid form doesn't make me nauseous. Strawberry is the only one I can do but that's of course a personal preference. For me, the nutrition is a bonus. It does something milk can't that allows me to keep my pills down in my stomach comfortably.

My grandfather had a diagnosis of throat cancer a little over a year ago and he went through chemo and radiation treatments. He doesn’t have his taste as the chemo / radiation have damaged his taste buds, so he struggled to eat or drink enough because it wasn’t enjoyable: He lost a lot of weight and we were scared he was going to die. They ended up giving him a tube feed, and I wasn’t sure if he’d ever eat again. After the chemo and radiation stopped, he went a few months being dependent on the tube but after he wasn’t so sore in his throat he was determined to eat and drink again and put some weight back on, especially after he was notified he was cancer free and in remission. These ensures we’re one of the main reasons my grandfather has been able to put weight ... MoreMy grandfather had a diagnosis of throat cancer a little over a year ago and he went through chemo and radiation treatments.

I can’t express my gratitude to Ensure. Thank you for your products. I work in long term care as a CDM and work directly with these products as well as others and I am a firm believer in the power of nutrition. Thanks Ensure

I purchase Ensure chocolate drinks for my aging parents. Don’t get me wrong every now and then I live drinking the Chocolate Ensure especially when it’s been refrigerated. Not only are these drinks delicious but it also is power packed with proteins, vitamins and important minerals that gives any person that is lacking the daily vitamin requirement. It’s not to say that a person should only rely on these drinks alone but it’s a great booster though. The last time my father got out of the hospital he wasn’t hungry and was lacking the energy he needed from day to day. The chocolate Ensure was the only thing he was drinking on a daily basis until he slowly was able to regain his appetite and didn’t need the Ensure drinks anymore. I highly recommend this amazing ... MoreI purchase Ensure chocolate drinks for my aging parents.

I was told by multiple people to try this product after I started my weight gain journey. I’m tiny not even 120 pounds soaking wet so I opted in to try this. I don’t know if I was too hungry but the moment this drink hit my stomach, I was vomiting like crazy!!! I ended up falling sick for about two weeks. Now overall this review gets a good star from me because the product tastes amazing and it most certainly will have you gaining weight. It is also a great meal replacement. However if you have any underlining gastrointestinal issues I wouldn’t recommend this product.

Contains too much of toxic form of iron, beware!

One bottle of Ensure has 25% of the RDA of iron as the toxic form , ferrous sulfate. they base that on the women's RDA of 18 mg, not mens - 10 mg, and the vitamin C content then triples the absorption, so its like getting 75% of the RDa with just 1 serving size! Remember men only need to absorb 1 mg of iron to replace that much that has been lost! Caveat Emptor! The Alzheimer's forum discusses how as people age they have some of the physiology of Alzheimer's disease with the beta amyloid plaques, but they all had normal brain function, it was only when iron increased excessively did it result in cognitive decline and damage to the neurons.Some have described beta amyloid as a sign of the immune system fighting off infections like from herpes or shingles virus, but ... MoreOne bottle of Ensure has 25% of the RDA of iron as the toxic form , ferrous sulfate. they base that on the women's RDA of 18 mg, not mens - 10 mg, and the vitamin C content then triples the absorption, so its like getting 75% of the RDa with just 1 serving size!

The Alzheimer's forum discusses how as people age they have some of the physiology of Alzheimer's disease with the beta amyloid plaques, but they all had normal brain function, it was only when iron increased excessively did it result in cognitive decline and damage to the neurons.Some have described beta amyloid as a sign of the immune system fighting off infections like from herpes or shingles virus, but when iron enters in then it leads to severe cellular damage.According to an autopsy study published February 18 in Molecular Psychiatry, people who had had dementia and moderate to high burdens of plaques and tangles had more iron in their temporal cortices than those with less pathology. Does this iron do anything? It correlated with cognitive decline in the years prior to death, but suggests that brain iron kills neurons via ferroptosis, a cell-death pathway driven by reactive forms of the element.Only people with clinical and pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease had more cortical iron.Among people with AD pathology, cortical iron correlated with cognitive decline.This means iron rises late in AD pathogenesis.Bush and colleagues had previously cast brain iron, in the form of ferritin, as a predictor of Alzheimer’s disease progression, and proposed that the element facilitates the genetic risk imposed by ApoE4 (Ayton et al., 2015). However, the current study found normal brain levels of iron in people who had high plaque and tangle burden but no dementia, suggesting the element ticks up late in the disease process. Because iron levels were only measured at autopsy, the study leaves unclear when in the course of disease iron levels started to rise.The role of iron in AD has long been debated but never drawn much consensus in the field. Recent work has tried to link markers of brain iron and cognitive decline, and neuropathological studies have detected more iron in the brains of people with AD than controls, but the studies were too small to tease out the relationship between cortical iron, AD neuropathology, and clinical symptoms (Tao et al., 2014).

Easy ordering and delivery. Thank you.

Ensure Original: The upside — We are grateful that Abbott continues to make Ensure Original. Those plastic six packs are replaced by sturdier individual 8 z. plastic bottles.The downside: Ensure Original Vanilla is now sweeter at 250 calories per serving instead of 220 calories per serving. There are fewer flavors — vanilla, strawberry, and milk chocolate (this could be a supply chain issue, though Abbott Laboratories does not mention that).Walmart experience: Ordering process is easy, though shipping delivery can take a little longer than orders from a local store.Overall, Walmart makes the ordering process easier than some of its competitors.

Ensure for 55 YO Male Trying to Stimulate Appetite

Great price for this. I’m 55 and starting to weight lift and exercise again. My appetite has been poor for quite a long time and so I knew I needed to get some more calories somehow.Previously, I would only eat may be a meal a day, but I need a way to stimulate my appetite. Being that I’m never hungry in the morning, I decided to couple this with a 16.9 ounce bottle of water for my morning breakfast and it’s worked out well for me.Not only did I get the early calories that I needed, it also seem to stimulate my appetite so that I was hungry again around lunchtime, which is what I wanted.So for my purpose of getting in early morning calories and stimulating my appetite to ensure that I get enough calories to benefit from my newly established workout ... MoreGreat price for this.

Great meal replacement when sick

Both my father %26 my daughter got sick (long term) and lost a lot of weight. So, we tried several brands %26 flavors to get some of their weight back on and get them the nutrients they needed. The original chocolate flavor was both of their favorite. It just taste like you’re drinking modified chocolate milk. It’s a win win!! Both of them gained some weight back which is hard to do when eating food just isn’t an option for whatever reason. It may be expensive but how do you put a price on a loved ones health?!?
