Is It Safe To Consume Ensure Three Times A Day?

I am new to Ensure. Just had my first bottle a few minutes ago. 350 Cs per bottle. Was chocolate. Tasted rather good. I could probably, taste-wise, with no persuasian consume three a day. Good idea or not? I stand 6 ft 4 and am down to 138 lbs dripping wet. Coming on 84 years old. Blood workup of a 47 year old I am told by a daughter pharmacist. Have IBS-M; and cathed 24 / 7. Rarely eat fast food (European wife).

Hello,

Serving depends upon the amount nutritional deficit you have. If you're not taking protein supplements then you may use three time's a day. The usual dose of protein is 1-2gm /kg per day.

If it is in heavy work people or bodybuilder it may vary. Please consult your nutritional therapist if you have more queries. I think I answered your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
