Yes, you can drink Ensure powder drink at the age of 20. Ensure is a nutritional supplement that can help meet your daily nutrient requirements. Since you mentioned you are anemic, Ensure can be beneficial as it contains iron which is important for managing anemia. You can take one serving of Ensure powder drink per day to supplement your diet and help improve your nutritional status.
