Purathick Natural Thickener — Gentle, Precise & Allergen-Friendly Texture Support for Liquids
Purathick is a thoughtfully designed powdered thickener that transforms hot or cold beverages into safer-to-swallow liquids without altering taste or texture. It’s ideal for adults and children (age 1 +), offering a smooth, comfortable mouthfeel while meeting the needs of those managing swallowing challenges such as dysphagia.
Key Features & Benefits
- True “invisible” thickening — The powder creates liquids with a silky, lump-free consistency that doesn’t feel slimy or gritty.
- Versatile for hot & cold use — Perfect for beverages, nutrition supplements, soups or any liquid you need to modify.
- Allergen-friendly and clean label — Vegan, non-GMO, free from dairy, corn, wheat, gluten, soy, casein and lactose.
- Stable formula — Doesn’t continue thickening excessively over time, giving caregivers confidence when preparing ahead.
- Flexible consistency control — Each 2.4g serving can thicken 5-8 fl oz to nectar or slightly thick consistency depending on liquid and volume.
How to Use
- Measure the appropriate amount of Purathick (e.g., 2.4 g serving) according to the fluid volume and desired thickness.
- Add to your chosen beverage or liquid food (hot or cold).
- Stir or shake well for ~30 seconds; for cold liquids allow ~5 min for best consistency, hot liquids thicken faster (≈1 min).
- Serve at the appropriate time for safe swallowing—check with your clinician or speech-language pathologist if you’re unsure.
- Store the powder in a cool, dry place; if you prepare thickened liquids in advance, follow storage guidelines for safety.
Important Things to Know
- Intended for individuals with swallowing difficulty (dysphagia) or those under texture-modified diet plans; use under medical supervision.
- This product helps modify consistency only; it does not provide nutritional supplementation (calories, protein).
- Not for infants under 1 year old unless directed by a healthcare professional.
- Always verify the consistency is appropriate for the individual’s needs (consult IDDSI or your clinician).
- Because thickened fluids may alter volume or hydration speed, monitor fluid intake and comfort accordingly.
