Carmichael’s locations carry Ensure Original nutrition shakes in a variety of flavors such as milk chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. They are gluten-free and suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance. Ensure products should not be consumed by people with galactosemia, which is a disorder that affects the body’s ability to convert a simple sugar called galactose to glucose.
Can Ensure be Bought Over the Counter?
Ensure contains no medications and does not require a prescription to purchase. However, you should consult your doctor or health care provider if you plan to use Ensure products as a meal replacement option or as supplemental nutrition. Carmichael’s has experienced, licensed pharmacists and technicians on staff who work closely with primary caregivers to provide patients with proper nutritional intake.
