Resource Thickenup Clear Food and Beverage Thickener is an innovative, non-starch based thickening agent designed to rapidly thicken liquids and foods (reaches desired consistency in just 5 minutes for many beverages) for patients with dysphagia or swallowing difficulties by reducing the risk of aspiration compared to thin liquids; however, it does not affect the taste or odor of the food or liquid. Resource ThickenUp Clear mixes and dissolves easily in a wide range of hot or cold foods and beverages (including those containing protein), and once prepared, liquids remain clear and lump-free and will not over-thicken with time like starched-based solutions. Plus, Resource Thickenup Clear Food and Beverage Thickener is suitable for lactose-free, gluten-free, and kosher diets.
