For the dietary treatment of patients with swallowing disorders.
ThickenUp Clear Powder - For thickening liquids and food
ThickenUp is a food for special medical purposes (balanced diet). The instant thickener is suitable for thickening food and drinks. Thickened food makes it easier to swallow and the bound liquid can be absorbed by the body. This thus contributes to the fluid supply. ThickenUp does not clump, does not thicken and allows for consistency adaptation without changing the taste. The gluten-free powder can be used both cold and warm.
Also suitable for chewing and swallowing disorders (dysphagia), but not as the only source of nutrition.
