Thick-It Food & Drink Thickenerby Thick-It

Thick-It Original

Thick-It Powder Unflavored is a product designed to help people with swallowing difficulties, often used by those with dysphagia or other conditions affecting their ability to safely swallow liquids. It’s a thickening agent that you can add to liquids to adjust their consistency, making them easier to swallow and reducing the risk of choking or aspiration.

Usage: It’s typically mixed with liquids like water, juice, or soup to thicken them to the desired consistency. The amount of powder needed depends on the desired thickness, so it’s important to follow the guidelines on the packaging or as recommended by a healthcare provider.

Unflavored: The unflavored variety is designed to blend into liquids without changing their taste, which can be beneficial for those who are sensitive to changes in flavor or who prefer to keep their drink’s original taste.

Consistency Levels: It usually allows you to achieve different consistency levels, from mildly thickened to extra thick, to meet various needs.

Thick-It #2

Thick-It Concentrated Food & Beverage Thickener Flavorless is another product designed to modify the consistency of liquids and foods, similar to the unflavored powder but in a more concentrated form. Here’s a breakdown of what you might need to know about it:

Concentrated Formula: This thickener is more concentrated than standard thickeners, which means you need less of it to achieve the same level of thickness. This can be particularly useful if you need to thicken larger volumes of liquid or food.

Flavorless: As the name suggests, it doesn’t alter the taste of the food or drink it’s added to. This is ideal for those who are sensitive to taste changes or who prefer to keep the original flavor of their beverages and meals.

Ease of Use: It usually comes in a liquid form, which can be easier to mix into liquids compared to powders. You simply add the desired amount to your liquid or food and stir until the desired thickness is achieved.

Consistency Options: Like other thickeners, it allows for control over the consistency of the final product. This means you can adjust it from a mildly thickened to a more substantial consistency based on individual needs.

Thick-It AquaCare H2O Thickened Water Nectar 

Pre-Thickened: Unlike powders or concentrates that require mixing, this product is ready to use right out of the bottle. It is pre-thickened to a specific consistency, which simplifies the process and ensures consistent thickness.

Nectar Consistency: The term "nectar" refers to a medium-thick consistency. It’s thicker than regular water but not as thick as honey. This consistency is often recommended for people with mild to moderate dysphagia, as it helps reduce the risk of choking and aspiration.

Flavor: The "nectar" variety is usually designed to have a neutral taste or be as close to plain water as possible. It aims to provide a familiar drinking experience while still offering the necessary thickening.
