ENSURE COMPACT
WHY HAVE I BEEN RECOMMENDED ENSURE COMPACT?
If your healthcare professional thinks that you are malnourished, they may recommend Ensure Compact to help you get the nutrients you need.
Ensure Compact contains calories, protein, vitamins and minerals that your body may need. Usually recommended for people who have less of an appetite or are restricted in the volume of liquid they are able to consume.
WHAT IS ENSURE COMPACT?
Ensure Compact is a milkshake-style oral nutritional supplement (often called a sip-feed) for people who don’t get enough nutrients through their normal food and drink.
Ensure Compact is smaller than some other nutritional drinks and comes in a 125 ml bottle. Each easy-to-open, ready-to-drink bottle provides calories and protein, in a small, easy-to-drink supplement.
You can choose from 4 tasty flavours – banana, café latte, strawberry and vanilla.

HOW DO I TAKE ENSURE COMPACT?
Your healthcare professional will tell you how often to drink Ensure Compact, and how much to take. These instructions will be specific to you, as everyone’s needs are different.
Ensure Compact is best served chilled, but you can serve Ensure Compact vanilla as part of a hot drink. Just make sure you don’t let it boil as this can damage some of the ingredients and make the drinks less effective.
This supplement is usually taken in addition to your meals. You can try taking it mid-morning or in the evening or add it to your normal meals for extra variety.
HOW DO I STORE ENSURE COMPACT?
The drinks are ready to use at room temperature or straight from the fridge. Shake well before use. Don’t worry if you don’t manage to drink it all in one go, just keep it covered in the fridge after opening and use within 24 hours.
