Resource 2.0 delivers 480 calories in a single 8 oz. serving, making it a concentrated option for people who struggle to eat enough or who need to gain weight without consuming large volumes. The ready-to-use Very Vanilla cartons are convenient for individual servings, while the 32 oz. carton suits larger households or facilities. Because the formula packs twice the calories of standard supplements into a modest volume, it's often recommended when appetite is limited or fluid intake must be controlled.

Thickening liquids reduces the risk of aspiration for anyone with swallowing difficulties. Two versions serve different preferences. Resource ThickenUp Clear uses xanthan gum to thicken beverages while keeping them transparent and preserving flavor—hot or cold, it won't continue to thicken over time, so consistency stays predictable. It's available in 4.4 oz. canisters for regular use and 1.4 g single-serve packets for travel or portion control. The original Resource ThickenUp (8 oz. canister) is a starch-based thickener that's a familiar, economical choice.

A common question is how much to use: consistency—nectar, honey, or pudding thick—varies by the number of scoops or packets per serving, so always follow your speech-language pathologist's guidance. Both thickeners are unflavored and suitable for ages three and up.
