Question 1

pediasure okay for adults?

Accepted Answer

I suppose: Pediasure is a dietary supplement that is designed to meet some of the nutrition need of growing kids. An adult could gain some benefit from its use, but would get similar benefit from less expensive products like Carnation Breakfast Essentials if a shake like drink is desired. I prefer a good steak balanced with a few sides, but that's just me.

Question 4

is pediasure good for children?

Accepted Answer

Real food better: Pediasure is specifically designed to help increase the calories in children with failure to thrive (determined to be underweight by their physician).  Unless recommended by pediatrician, the best place for your child to get nutrition is whole healthy food choices.  Kids may not eat like we think they should, but they listen to their bodies and get what they need.  Model healthy habits - it helps!

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Supplement, yes: Pediasure is a reasonable supplement for nutritional purposes. Is it enough, no. Nutritional requirements vary greatly depending on the age of the child and whether there are any underlying medical conditions. Talk with your healthcare provider (some clinics have onsite nutritionists, too) to determine the best nutritional plan for your child.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Pediasure: Pediasure is a nutritional supplement designed for occassional use in children when additional calories are needed.  It is intended to SUPPLEMENT, not REPLACE normal foods.  It is generally recommended that 1-2 cans be offered per day, in between meals.  Pediasure is high in sugar, and more frequent use may interfere with intake of regular foods/meals.
