31 Oct 2012 --- Abbott, the global healthcare company and producer of the number one doctor-recommended brand of oral nutrition supplements, is launching Ensure Complete.

Ensure Complete shakes offer 4-in-1 nutrition that provides targeted muscle, heart, immune system, and bone support to help meet adults’ daily dietary needs. Available in chocolate and vanilla flavors, Ensure Complete shakes are suitable for gluten-free and lactose intolerant diets.1
