What Is Clear DysphagiAide® Beverage & Food Thickener?

Clear DysphagiAide® is a xanthan gum powder designed to thicken liquids, making drinking and eating more comfortable, efficient, and safe for individuals with dysphagia.

How Does It Work?

Our thickener is added to liquids such as water, juice, milk, tea, broth, and purées, creating a thicker, smoother consistency that slows the flow of food, allowing the muscles more time to react and help direct the food to the stomach.

Why Clear DysphagiAide?

A Clear Difference

Clear DysphagiAide® powder thickener will not change the taste or appearance of the liquid it thickens.

In blind taste tests, our thickener was chosen again and again as the best overall thickener for appearance and taste.

Thickens Nearly Any Liquid

Various colorful beverages in glasses and cups, some smoothies, some with fruits, with a sign that reads "Thickens Most Liquids, Hot & Cold Beverages, Soups & Broths, Pureed Foods & Smoothies, Clear Dysphagia Aide."

Our thickener works in almost any liquid, hot or cold. It was designed and tested to work in water, juice, soda, coffee, tea, soup, broth, smoothies, purees, beer, and wine, to name a few. It also works in prepared drinkable laxative drinks like MiraLax®.

You have too many other things to worry about without having to guess how much thickener you need. We've already done that work for you and put it on our label.

Even more, our single-serve packets are pre-measured according to IDDSI standards and ready to thicken any 4 oz. liquid.

Consistency You Can Count On

Clear Dysphagia Aide® powder thickener maintains the same thickness over time. It will not continue to thicken or break down as other thickeners do.

You can prepare a pitcher of thickened water (or any drink), put it in the fridge, and pour from it as you need, all day long, and... the next day!

Pure, Versatile, and Dietary-Friendly

Not Everyone With Dysphagia Needs Thickener, But...

When it makes swallowing safer and more efficient, many SLPs recommend using Clear DysphagiAide® Beverage & Food Thickener powder to thicken liquid drinks, broth, soups, purees, and smoothies at home.
