Product Description
Ensure TwoCal Banana is a 2.0 kcal/ml complete, balanced nutritional supplement drink with FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides) fibre. Each 200ml bottle provides an impressive 399 kcal and 16.8g of high-quality protein from milk sources, making it ideal for patients who cannot or will not eat sufficient quantities of everyday food and drink to meet their nutritional requirements.
The very high energy density of 2.0 kcal/ml means patients can receive substantial nutritional support in a smaller volume, which is particularly beneficial for those with reduced appetite or difficulty consuming large volumes of liquid. The formula contains 2g of FOS fibre per bottle to support digestive health, along with a comprehensive blend of essential vitamins and minerals. Ensure TwoCal is nutritionally complete for vitamins and minerals in just 875ml (excluding electrolytes, calculated using the UK Reference Nutrient Intake for men aged 19-50 years).
Manufactured by Abbott Laboratories Ltd, a global leader in nutritional science, Ensure TwoCal is widely recommended by healthcare professionals for the dietary management of disease-related malnutrition. The banana flavour provides a classic, smooth taste that is well-tolerated by most patients. The product is designed to be taken orally, though for patients on a tube feeding regimen who require or prefer to take feed orally, TwoCal Bolus is now available in a 200ml presentation.
Ensure TwoCal is gluten-free, suitable for vegetarians, and appropriate for people with diabetes when routine glucose monitoring is performed. The product is nutritionally complete and can be used as a sole source of nutrition under medical supervision. It is formulated with high oleic sunflower oil, soy oil, and canola oil to provide a balanced fatty acid profile, and includes added taurine, L-carnitine, and choline to support overall health and wellbeing.
Usage Instructions
Ensure TwoCal is ready to drink and requires no preparation. For best results, serve chilled unless bolus feeding is indicated, in which case the product should be administered at room temperature. Shake well before opening. May also be served as warm drinks. Do not boil.
