Frequently Asked Questions

Has ProSure been clinically tested?

Yes. Clinical studies among people with various types of cancer, including pancreatic, lung, esophageal, head and neck, and colorectal cancer, showed that drinking ProSure daily as part of overall care improved appetite and dietary intake, promoted weight gain, helped build muscle, increased physical activity, improved quality of life, and increased strength in those who gained weight.

Why were the first clinical trials conducted in people with pancreatic cancer?

People who have this type of cancer experienced rapid, severe weight loss, often losing 15% of their body weight by the time of diagnosis. ProSure was shown to benefit people with pancreatic cancer. Subsequent studies, as noted above, have shown that people with other types of cancer also benefit when ProSure is part of their overall care.

Can ProSure be used by people with cancer undergoing radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy?

Yes. In fact, a new study shows benefits for people with lung cancer who were undergoing chemotherapy when ProSure was part of their care plan. Maintaining or improving nutritional status and weight are key factors in being able to tolerate and continue therapy. Check with your healthcare professional to see if ProSure is right for you. Use ProSure under healthcare professional supervision.
