About Ensure plus, liquid nutrition

Ensure Plus is a ready-to-drink liquid nutrition shake — a meal-replacement and oral nutritional supplement designed to add calories, protein and a broad range of vitamins and minerals for people who struggle to eat enough. The "Plus" version is the higher-calorie formula.

Per 100 grams it provides about 141 calories, 5.2 grams of protein, 4.5 grams of fat and 19.9 grams of carbohydrate (largely sugar), and it is fortified with calcium (79 mg), potassium (175 mg), iron (1.8 mg), vitamin C (about 12 mg) and vitamin A, among others. An 8-ounce bottle (about 251 grams) comes to roughly 350 calories and 13 grams of protein — a meaningful share of a meal in a small bottle.

Unlike ordinary soft drinks, the calories and sugar here are deliberate: the product exists to help people gain or maintain weight and meet nutrient needs when appetite or illness gets in the way. That makes it valuable for the right person and unnecessary for someone already eating well, for whom it is simply extra calories. It is widely used on the advice of a doctor or dietitian; this is general information, not medical advice.
