Resource ThickenUp Instant Food and Drink Thickener Powder is made of 100% modified cornstarch and thickens without lumping and maintains its consistency over time. Clinically shown to reduce the risk of aspiration for people with swallowing difficulties compared to thin liquids (patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia) and makes almost any hot or cold food or beverage thicker without altering the taste. Swallowing problems should always be diagnosed by a healthcare professional trained in diagnosing dysphagia. Nestlé Health Science recommends consulting a speech language pathologist or other qualified swallowing therapist for evaluation of any swallowing difficulties and recommendation of suitable products.
