FontActiv Neutral Flavour Thickener 250g x6 Jars

FontActiv thickener is a food product formulated from modified corn starch. By mixing this ingredient with liquid or semi-solid foods, the viscosity of the food can be increased.

Despite this property, it does not alter the taste or aroma of the food, as it has a neutral taste. This facilitates the presentation of an attractive end product that people can easily tolerate.

It is ideal for people with dysphagia, a disorder characterised by difficulty in swallowing. This condition makes it more difficult to move food from the mouth to the stomach and can even be painful.

With the thickener, swallowing is facilitated and, at the same time, the risk of passing food supplies into the respiratory tract (bronchoaspiration) is reduced. In this way, this food supplement helps to keep people hydrated and nourished.

It is administered orally. It is designed to help reduce dehydration and malnutrition in adults and the elderly. However, it should not be considered as a substitute for a balanced and healthy diet.

The amount of thickener added to the mixture depends on the desired consistency, in order to provide adequate and safe chewing or swallowing.
