Is ensure good for weight gain?

I'm looking to gain some healthy weight, as I'm quite thin. Someone suggested trying Ensure. Is Ensure good for weight gain, or are there other supplements I should consider?

If you are losing weight unexpectedly, please get your thyroid and complete blood profile checked first. Ensure can help with healthy weight gain, but finding the root cause of low weight with a doctor is very important.

Listen, if you want to gain weight, drinking Ensure alone won't do magic. You have to eat a calorie-surplus diet. Take Ensure twice a day with full cream milk after your meals, it definitely helps.

I tried taking high-calorie supplements on my own to gain weight and ended up with severe indigestion and kidney issues. Please don't self-prescribe. Let a doctor or clinical nutritionist suggest the right daily dosage for you.

I wish I had the problem of needing to gain weight! Yes, Ensure is full of calories and protein, so it is quite good for building up some weight. Just drink it with milk and enjoy the extra calories while you can.

I know how frustrating it is when people constantly tell you to gain weight, it causes so much anxiety. Ensure is actually very good for this as it is packed with nutrients. It is a safe and easy way to add healthy calories.

After recovering from typhoid, I had lost 6 kgs. I started drinking regular Ensure with bananas and milk every night. It helped me recover my strength and gain back my normal weight within two months.
