Ensure

Ensure is a brand of nutritional supplements and meal replacements manufactured by Abbott Laboratories, a global, broad-based health care company devoted to discovering new medicines, technologies and ways to manage health. Ensure products are designed to provide supplemental nutrition for individuals who may not be able to consume adequate nutrients from food alone.

History

The Ensure brand was first introduced by Abbott Laboratories in 1973. Since then, it has become a trusted name in the field of nutritional science, offering a range of products designed to support the nutritional needs of adults and children alike.

Products

Ensure offers a variety of products, each designed to meet specific nutritional needs. These include:

• Ensure Original: This is the basic Ensure product, providing complete, balanced nutrition. It is suitable for those who need to supplement their diet with additional nutrients, or for those who have difficulty eating regular food.

• Ensure Plus: This product contains more calories and protein than Ensure Original, making it suitable for those who need to gain weight or maintain a healthy weight.

• Ensure High Protein: This product is designed for those who need a higher intake of protein, such as athletes or those recovering from surgery.

• Ensure Enlive: This is a high-protein, high-calorie product designed to help rebuild muscle and strength naturally lost over time.

Nutritional Information

Ensure products are fortified with a range of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, calcium, and iron. They also contain a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fats to provide a well-rounded source of nutrition.

Usage

Ensure products can be used as a meal replacement or as a supplement to a regular diet. They are often recommended by healthcare professionals for individuals who are unable to consume adequate nutrition from food alone, such as those recovering from surgery or illness, those with poor appetite, or those with specific nutritional needs.
