Thick-It Original is a trusted powdered thickener designed to help people with swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) enjoy liquids and pureed foods safely and confidently. The cornstarch-based formula mixes quickly into hot or cold beverages and foods without altering flavor, and allows you to create IDDSI-compliant consistencies for easier, more controlled swallowing.

• Flavorless and virtually invisible — maintains the natural taste and appearance of your beverage or food.
• Versatile use with hot or cold foods & drinks — compatible with beverages, soups, smoothies and more.
• Diet-friendly formulation — gluten-free, Kosher Pareve certified, low sodium, and suitable for texture-modified diets.
• Trusted brand since 1987 — well-established in dysphagia care for home, long-term care and clinical settings.

How to Use

1. Measure the appropriate amount of Thick-It Original powder per the consistency guide.
2. Pour about 4 fl oz of the desired hot or cold liquid (or puree) into a glass or bowl.
3. Slowly add the measured powder while stirring steadily with a fork or whisk.
4. Let the mixture rest for 1 minute (for water/juices) or 5-10 minutes (for milk/supplements) before serving.
5. Serve immediately or within the time frame advised by your clinician.

Important Considerations

• Intended only for individuals with swallowing difficulties; use under supervision of a speech-language pathologist or dietitian.
• Contains modified corn starch and maltodextrin — not intended for infants under age 2 unless advised by a physician.
• While the thickener supports safer swallowing, overall nutrition must still be assessed—thickened liquids alone do not provide full nutrition.
• Store between recommended temperatures; once opened, follow storage guidelines on the container.
