Hoping for a quick, good-tasting meal supplement, I tried Ensure Original vanilla after successfully healing an NSAID-induced gastritis with dietary changes and Mylanta as needed. Drank half of one bottle to see how it sat. Within an hour, I developed stomach pains lasting several hours, followed by loose stools. Based on so many good reviews, I figured it was something else I had eaten. Two days later I drank the remaining half bottle only to experience even worse stomach pains, again with loose stools. Going back to Carnation Instant Breakfast Essentials Light -- lower in fat, lower in sugar content, not as many chemicals ... plus, it's a good-tasting, quick, on-the-go meal supplement/snack that's never made me sick. As someone who's always followed a lot-fat, low-carb, healthy diet, Ensure is not the product for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the coffee Ensure. I drink it at work as a boost since I am so busy and breaks are hard to take. I would say everyone should at least try it and see how smooth it is and how it makes you feel better through the day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With 9g protein, Ensure for breakfast keeps me going all the way until noon. Love that it's easy to digest, unlike other supplements. Tastes great, and not too sugary. Great meal replacement drink, or addition to your diet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband is lactose intolerant and has a hard time gaining or keeping on weight. With ensure, I'm confident he's getting the nutrients he needs while maintaining his weight. Plus, he loves the milk chocolate flavor, it's a real treat for him

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband has one of these every day and loves the dark chocolate flavor. The only downside is that other people must like this flavor as well since our grocer is out of stock on this flavor a lot of the time.

I enjoy the vanilla flavor and put it in my morning cereal along with blueberries, strawberries and bananas. You don't have to add sugar because the taste is sweet. I have gotten so used to this, when I run out of ensure my cereal tastes somewhat flat. When I go to buy ensure, and someone else is looking to buy it, I mention about putting it in my cereal and they always say "what a good idea, I'll try it". I usually drink one a day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I take one to work every day for an afternoon booster and to energize me for the rest of the work day! I am on the slim side and my doctor recommended an Ensure several years ago to help build my body up and it has helped a lot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ensure allowed me to adjust to a medical problem. After coping with the problem Ensure is a regular part of my daily diet. At approaching 80 years of age I use it as an energy supplement to enable me to involve in a two mile walk and a regular exercise program of pushups etc. Try it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife was very ill and hospice was there for her. We always gave her the insure as she would not eat any food. It helped her stay with me for a longer period of time. She now has passed. With my doctors advice, I have been using ensure for the last 2 years. I am now 85 and still going strong. Thank you ensure.
