Ensure

With moderation

Ensure ready-to-drink shakes have low-to-moderate purine content with no alcohol, but sugar levels vary by formulation and warrant caution.

Good

Dairy- or soy-based proteins are low in purines and may be neutral or slightly protective for uric acid levels, similar to low-fat dairy.

Bad

Many versions contain added sugars or high-fructose corn syrup that can raise uric acid production and gout risk.
