I'm not sure if they would cover it out of the hospital setting. Sometimes the stores have their own brand of the nutrition drinks that are usually a little cheaper.

Theses products are a rip off. I can't believe so many people are duped by the advertising. Look at the ingredients. The top ingredient is WATER. If you need vitamins, you would be much better off drinking 8 oz. of milk and taking a multi-vitamin pill. This would cost you about 1/10th of the bottle of Ensure. If you need calories, eat more food.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396535752851450625.post-1063653589751748582013-10-05T12:35:05.765-05:002013-10-05T12:35:05.765-05:00Well if you can afford $1.50 a bottle for question...Well if you can afford $1.50 a bottle for questionable nutrition you can afford to just eat a better diet in general, make a fruit smoothie from time to time, most anything will do, even a good soup with some veggies pureed into it, its real food, not some maltodextrin with a multivite whacked into it. If money is no object, buy pre prepared real food, not a bottle of massively overpriced water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396535752851450625.post-40183850683237860912013-10-05T09:25:48.893-05:002013-10-05T09:25:48.893-05:00I think it is a little better than that, but if yo...I think it is a little better than that, but if you say it is a con, what is a better alternative to get a convenient high calorie drink that has protein and vitamins?

Years ago, I did buy one of those mixes from GNC. I found that it did not mix will with liquids and was very hard to clean off the glass when it was finished. So I did not stick with it for long. Maybe I can look into it again and try another kind. Thanks.

Ensure (2...Well I like to think about it this way:<br /><br />Ensure (235ml bottle) has 12 grams of protein and about 25% of about a dozen other vitamins/minerals.<br /><br />If you take a scoop of protein powder (a 5lb container costing $60 contains some 60 scoops), you now have enough protein to fill two bottles of insure. But what about the other vitamins? Well for $15 you can buy a multivitamin that has every vitamin that ensure has + more and in higher quantity (mg). <br /><br />Take the protein powder scoop and mix it with water/milk to make a protein shake, and then grind that vitamin pill into the mix too. You now have two ensure bottles worth of nutrients for a tenth of the cost, and it'll likely taste just as good.<br /><br />And what helps is, keep your old ensure bottles and fill them up with the protein/vitamin shake, it'll actually make you feel better drinking it off the ensure bottle vs drinking it out of a glass (placebo?).<br /><br />Anyway, that's my tip. Ensure, like vitamin water, provides less than your over the counter vitamins and supplements, yet the packaging and marketing makes people spend hundreds more every year.<br /><br />P.S. You can replace the protein powder with mass gainer powder since you like the calories.<br /><br />Hope this helped!Hasibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08840362703832126226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396535752851450625.post-12036285236288111272011-12-09T21:30:52.733-06:002011-12-09T21:30:52.733-06:00Amazon.com has the butter pecan flavor for $36 for...Amazon.com has the butter pecan flavor for $36 for 24, and its $30 if you are a subscriberAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
