Ensure Prebiotics - Recovery

Sure to help you recover

 

For people recovering from illness/surgery, it is generally recommended to eat properly. Ensure Prebiotics, on top of being a delicious meal replacement, provides you with the nutrients you need, plus prebiotics which may give you some extra health positive effects.

 

For people recovering from illness/surgery

Complete and balanced nutrition is very important during recovery. Your body needs to rebuild muscles and tissues possibly lost during illness/surgery, so adequate protein and energy intake is crucial. Ensure Prebiotics provides you with the protein and energy you need to help you get your strength back.

 

For people using antibiotics

Antibiotics can alter your gut flora due to their general action against bacteria. The scFOS prebiotics found in Ensure Prebiotics can help you restore your gut flora by “feeding” the good bacteria which remain. A balanced gut flora is essential in supporting your immune system.

 

For people with increased calcium requirements

Ensure Prebiotics is a source of calcium, and also provides scFOS prebiotics which help increase calcium absorption. That’s why it may be an appropriate addition to your diet if you do not get enough calcium from the foods you eat or if your calcium needs are increased.

 

For people at risk of constipation

The scFOS prebiotics found in Ensure Prebiotics may help you have more regular bowel movements, but the minimal dose to have shown such an effect is 6 g/day (the equivalent of two Ensure Prebiotics per day).*
*Tolerance to prebiotics may differ from one person to another. For some persons, it may be better to gradually increase their intake of prebiotics, as per their tolerance.

 

For people with malnutrition/weight loss

Ensure Prebiotics can help you gain or maintain a healthy weight by providing the energy and protein you need. Ensure Prebiotics’ reclosable bottle allows you to take it in small amounts throughout the day, to avoid interfering with your appetite at mealtimes. Which means that you can easily get the extra nutrition you need between meals. What an easy and delicious way to add extra calories to your diet.
