Nutilis Clear serves as a dietary management tool for dysphagia, offering a xanthan gum-based thickener that retains the normal appearance of fluids and foods. Its formulation is carefully designed to resist the action of amylase, ensuring that the thickened consistency remains stable in the mouth, for safer swallowing. This product is particularly useful for care professionals managing individuals with swallowing difficulties, ensuring that beverages and pureed foods are at a safe and manageable consistency.
How does Nutilis Clear work?
Nutilis Clear works by using xanthan gum, a powerful thickening agent, to alter the viscosity of liquids and purees without changing their taste or appearance. Its amylase-resistant properties prevent the enzyme amylase, found in saliva, from breaking down the thickener too quickly, maintaining the desired consistency during swallowing.
