Resource Thicken Up (Clear) Instant Food and Drink Thickener (125g) — Nutritional Supplements Australia — NDIS & Aged Care

Resource Thicken Up Clear Instant Food and Drink Thickener (125g) is the starter or trial-size pack of the Nestle Health Science xanthan gum-based thickener, designed for individuals commencing a speech-pathologist-prescribed dysphagia management plan or for users who require a portable, travel-friendly supply. Using xanthan gum technology, Thicken Up Clear dissolves invisibly into any beverage or fluid — water, juice, tea, coffee, milk, or soup — without altering its colour, taste, or aroma. This is a key clinical advantage over older starch-based thickeners, which can cloud drinks and affect flavour, reducing acceptance and hydration compliance in people with dysphagia. Once mixed, the product does not continue to thicken over time, ensuring the prescribed consistency remains stable throughout consumption. It achieves mildly thick, moderately thick, and extremely thick consistency levels as classified by the IDDSI framework, based on the quantity used per volume of fluid. The 125g pack is ideal for individuals trialling thickeners for the first time, for travel use, or as a supplementary supply alongside the 900g canister. Available from Connect Mobility, this product may be eligible for funding under NDIS Consumables or Home Care Package (HCP) plans for participants with a confirmed swallowing disorder. Always prepare to the consistency prescribed by your speech pathologist.
