Question from Laura
Is there a healthier version of “Ensure” for those whose digestive system won’t tolerate food at this time? Are there topical forms of nuttition? Thank you.
Debra’s Answer
I’m glad you are looking for an alternative.
Here are the typical ingredients (ingredients vary according to flavor:
Water (UD), Sugar (Sucrose), Sodium, Calcium Caseinates, Maltodextrin (Corn), High Oleic Safflower Oil, Soy Protein Isolate, Soy Oil, Canola Oil, Cocoa Powder (Processed with Alkali), Soy Lecithin, Natural & Artificial Flavor, Carrageenan.
To this are added the Vitamins & Minerals: Potassium Citrate, Calcium Phosphate Tribasic, Sodium Citrate, Magnesium Chloride, Magnesium Phosphate Dibasic, Salt (Sodium chloride), Choline Chloride, Ascorbic Acid, Ferric Phosphate, Alpha Tocopherol Acetate, Zinc Sulfate, Niacinamide, Calcium Pantothenate, Manganese Sulfate, Cupric Sulfate, Vitamin A Palmitate, Thiamine Chloride Hydrochloride, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Folic Acid, Chromium Chloride, Biotin, Sodium Molybdate, Potassium Iodide, Sodium Selenate, Phylloquinone, Vitamin D3, Cyanocobalamin.
It’s basically a multivitamin and protein powder mixed with a lot of refined sugar, refined oil, soy, and artificial flavor.
A healthier option would be great to know about.
