Thickening Agent

## Thickening Agent for Food and Beverages

If you have difficulty swallowing, you should try the Attylet thickening agent. This product works by thickening liquids such as soup, juice, and other beverages. We offer two types of thickeners from Attylet, both of which have the advantage of not altering the taste or appearance of the liquid, only the consistency. The difference between the two products is that **Attylet Plus** is amylase-resistant, meaning the starch is not broken down by saliva, so the liquid maintains its consistency in the mouth.

## Thickening Agent for Swallowing Difficulties

Thickening agents play a crucial role in the nutrition and care of individuals with dysphagia, a condition characterized by difficulties in swallowing. Individuals suffering from dysphagia face challenges with safely swallowing food and liquids, which can lead to potentially serious health issues like aspiration (inhalation of liquid into the lungs) and malnutrition. Thickening agents are very helpful for this group, as they make it easier to consume and enjoy foods and beverages.

Our range of Atylett thickening agents changes the consistency of liquids and foods, making eating and drinking safer and ensuring that your nutritional needs are met. They are easy to use and can be applied to both cold and hot foods and beverages.
