Nutritional Supplements Available Online at MVES

By eating balanced meals, many of us are able to obtain the necessary calories, minerals, protein, and vitamins needed for a healthy lifestyle. However, some of us need the extra help of nutritional supplements to round out our diet and help us maintain a proper weight.

MVES has offered nutritional supplements to community members for several years. Our prices are very low because we deal directly with distributors. To make it even easier to purchase these supplements, MVES now offers the products for sale online. Ensure, Ensure Plus, and Glucerna can be securely purchased through mves.org and MVES staff will deliver the supplements to residents in our service area free of charge.

Ensure is fortified with minerals and vitamins and is available in numerous flavors and in moderate calorie and enhanced calorie formulas. It is also lactose free, gluten free, and kosher. All products are appropriate for low sodium diets.

Glucerna Shakes are specially designed for people with diabetes. They contain a unique blend of carbohydrates that have clinically shown a lower blood glucose response compared to standard medical nutritional beverages.

MVES strongly recommends that anyone who considers taking a nutritional supplement first consult with his or her physician, visiting nurse or dietitian. As part of this service, a registered dietitian MVES is available to answer your questions by calling 781-324-7705 x 300.

Please note: Ensure, Ensure Plus, and Glucerna are no longer available online through Mystic Valley Elder Services. Please call 781-324-7705 for more information.
