Ensure is the brand name of liquid nutritional supplements manufactured by Abbott Laboratories.[1]
First produced in 1973 as a medical nutrition product, Ensure beverages are formulated to provide calories, protein and essential vitamins and minerals. Ensure is intended for supplemental use with or between meals and for interim sole-source nutrition. Ensure is not for parenteral use.
Ensure has been mentioned in the mass media because of its use in the Guantanamo force feeding of hunger-striking prisoners.[2]
