Product Description
Ensure NutriVigor Vanilla 400g is the smaller-format version of Abbott's trusted high-protein powdered nutritional shake, providing approximately 8 servings per can. Identical in formula to the 850g version, each 230ml serving delivers 233 kcal and 8.65g of protein — making it ideal for those trying the product for the first time, or for those who prefer to buy in smaller quantities.
The 400g can is particularly well-suited to travel, carers managing a single person's supply, or customers who want to trial the product before committing to the larger 850g can. Despite its smaller size, it delivers the complete NutriVigor formula — including 1.50g of CaHMB (Calcium β-Hydroxy-β-Methylbutyrate) per serving, Abbott's signature muscle-support ingredient, alongside Vitamin D3, calcium, and the full suite of 27 vitamins and minerals.
As with the 850g, each serving of Ensure NutriVigor 400g provides 5μg of Vitamin D3 — 200% of the daily NRV across 2 servings — to support normal muscle function, bone health, and immunity. The B-vitamin complex (B2, B6, B12) contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, making this a practical daily supplement for adults aged 50 and over, or anyone looking to bridge nutritional gaps in a busy lifestyle.
Gluten free and suitable for vegetarians. Not suitable for vegans. Should not replace a balanced and varied diet. Use under the guidance of a healthcare professional if you have an underlying health condition.
