Benefits for Dysphagia
People with dysphagia, or trouble swallowing, have a more difficult time eating and swallowing foods and liquids. This can lead to vomiting, weight loss, choking, heartburn, coughing/gagging, and more. Dysphagia can make staying hydrated and getting necessary nutrients difficult. Using a thickener in liquids can help to reduce the risks associated and open up a more broad range of foods and liquids to enjoy.
Unique Gel Format
Unlike other forms of thickener, SimplyThick comes in a pre-measured gel form and takes seconds to make without the mess and possible leftover lumps of powders. This allows every beverage to be the same consistency and even lets beverages be pre-made without them thickening over time. Even pureed foods with higher water content will remain appealing looking and creamy and not weep or breakdown.
The hygienic design of packaging allows for single use without the possible disorder of measuring, scooping, and even possible contamination. Simply pump or tear the packet open, add to the proper amount of liquid, stir or shake, and enjoy. Single servings and bulk quantities are available to make larger amounts of thickened liquid at one time.
Each individual packet can thicken 4oz of a chosen beverage, while each bulk serving can thicken 32oz.
Flavorless and Completely Clear
SimplyThick also doesn't leave any flavoring into what it's mixed with, allowing for a pure eating or drinking experience without the nasty aftertaste. Even water remains completely clear, pure, and flavorless hours after being mixed with SimplyThick. Only four ingredients are used: water, xanthan gum, sodium acid sulfate, and potassium sorbate.
SimplyThick can be used with virtually any beverage, hot, cold, coffee, alcohol, soup, supplements, soda, and more. Nectar packets can be used to create a thinner, nectar consistency while honey packets create a thicker texture. Using two honey packets will create a pudding-like consistency, fitting any need and preference. The larger bottles with pump can be used to create any of the three consistencies.
SimplyThick can even be used with hot foods and liquids while still remaining the same consistency and smooth texture and won't gummy after sitting. It also will not add additional carbohydrates or affect people with sensitive glucose levels, allowing more people to feel safe and confident using SimplyThick.
