Ensure is not made by Soylent.
- DanBC 10y agoSorry, yes, I made a stupid error. Ensure is most assuredly designed to used as a sole source of nutrition. This happens in hospitals every day where it's used in naso-gastric feeding, sometimes against the patient's wishes. It's used in prisons as a naso gastric feed on hunger striking prisoners. It's used in hospitals for ill people. The makers of Ensure have a wide range of products, many of which are designed to be sole-source of nutrition products. The fact they don't advertise these to the general public as sole source of nutrition products just means they're a bit more responsible than Soylent.
- magila 10y agoEnsure is not indicated for tube feeding so hospitals should not use it for that. I have first hand experience with this after having been hospitalized for Crohn's and put on a liquid diet. For sole-source nutrition in a hospital setting a formula designed for that, such as Jevity, is used. If a hospital tries to give you Ensure as sole-source nutrition they are doing it wrong.
