Best Supplement for Cancer: Ensure Enlive Meal Replacement Shake, 20g Protein, 350 Calories, Advanced Nutrition Protein Shake, Milk Chocolate, 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 16)

Grandma has to drink this to keep her weight up

So my grandmother went though Cancer treatment and beat stage 4 neck Cancer. It was a tough battle but one thing we found after she finished all of her treatments was she was having a hard time eating. The radiation really made her throat tight. So she fluctuates between 98 and 100 pounds. Before her Cancer she weighed 120 pounds but we are just happy she made it. Anyways because of her lack of eating her doctor suggested that we try Ensure between meals to help her get what she needs. She says she likes the taste and it's easy for her to drink. She's 87 years old and has some strength loss so the bottles can be a bit hard for her to open. If we are not in the room you can hear her pounding the bottle on the table to loosen the cap. I do wish they would sell a pack that had all three flavors so she would be able to enjoy them all without having to buy a full pack of each one

Good Supplement

My husband drank these during and now after treatment for throat Cancer. I mix them in the blender with whole milk and ice cream to give him a tasty shake that is easy to swallow and provides him with a lot of palatable calories and nutrients. It's not very delicious on its own but it is easy to supplement in a blender with ice cream, almond butter, vanilla extract, fruit and/or protein powder

Great product, deplorable Amazon

I was advised of this product from my nutritionist while currently battling Cancer and using a feeding tube. It's a great product and pretty necessary due to a lot of weight loss. I prefer & enjoy the strawberry flavor most over vanilla, although vanilla is ok. Not a fan of the chocolate flavor. This product isn't easily found so I have very limited choices. I have ordered this product a few times. That being said, Amazon is deplorable in marketing up the price for strawberry as opposed to the other 2 flavors. The products are already somewhat pricey but then to take strawberry and mark it up an additional $18 is despicable; when there's people that need and depend on products like this. Anyone suffering from any illnesses that require you to need this product...I wish you the best on your battle. God bles

The Ultimate drink for those who need the calories and protein

I found this product through my Cancer Center Dietician when I was starting chemo and radiation. I was underweight and had to have a feeding tube put in my stomach just in case I couldn't eat or get enough calories and nutrition. I never used the stomach tube but used this drink instead! Along with the Boost which has 530 calories I've been able to maintain and not lose a lb. during 3 months of treatments! My doctors and dietician are elated that I actually gained some weight and sustained through the treatments using both products. This particular one tastes fabulous and is light not thick and heavy. I highly recommend it for anyone needing the protein and calories because they don't get enough in their daily diet

Excellent for meal replacement

My husband is undergoing Cancer treatment and is unable to eat. He lost a lot of weight and the dietitian suggested that he try this product. He drinks 2 or 3 a day and likes the vanilla flavor. The only downside is that it's not covered by insurance and it's not inexpensive
