Description
Thick It Original Instant Food and Beverage Thickener is a medical-grade thickening agent designed to help individuals with dysphagia safely consume liquids and foods. This unflavored, odorless powder instantly thickens any hot or cold liquid to the desired consistency without altering taste or nutritional value. Developed specifically for healthcare settings and recommended by speech-language pathologists, Thick It helps reduce the risk of aspiration in patients with swallowing difficulties. The 10 oz container provides consistent, reliable thickening for approximately 80-100 servings depending on desired consistency. This original formula dissolves quickly without lumping and maintains its consistency over time, unlike starch-based thickeners that continue to thicken. Suitable for use with water, juices, coffee, tea, soups, and pureed foods. Thick It is the trusted choice of hospitals, nursing homes, and home healthcare providers worldwide. The precise measuring system ensures accurate consistency levels from nectar-thick to pudding-thick as prescribed by healthcare professionals.
Suggested Use
Start with 1 level teaspoon per 4 oz of liquid for nectar consistency, 2 teaspoons for honey consistency, or 3 teaspoons for pudding consistency. Stir vigorously for 30 seconds and let stand 1-2 minutes before serving. Adjust thickness as needed or as directed by healthcare provider.
