Is Ensure a good supplement for children?

Answer by  Amanda65 (1220)

Ensure is typically used with the elderly, especially those without good appetites that prevent them from consuming enough calories or nutrients. Children can drink Ensure, but it is best if kids eat foods that give them enough calories and nutrients. The child will be healthier for it.

It is a good supplement if the child is not receiving adequate nutrition through their regular diet. It should be noted that there are several versions of Ensure. Research should be done before placing a child on a supplement. Higher calories per gram could lead to unwanted weight gain.

Ensure is not necessarily a good supplement for children. Yes, you are right when it was intended for the elderly and the recommendation is for children ages 9 and up.
