About Nutritional Supplements:

There are a wide variety of commercial nutritional supplements on the market today. These supplements can be used to increase the intake of protein and energy in the diet, as well as providing additional vitamins or minerals.  Your Dietitian or Doctor may recommend high energy supplements to:

• “top-up” your intake to ensure you meet your nutritional requirements
• totally meet your nutritional needs

Supplements are available in a variety of energy concentrations and in different forms (powder, liquid, puddings) and flavours (fruity, milky, neutral, savoury).

About Thickeners:

For people with swallowing difficulties, thickened fluids are often required.  There are 4 levels of thickened fluids:

• Slightly thick – IDDSI level 1 (New level – most commonly seen in pediatric products)
• Mildly thick – IDDSI level 2 (formerly level 150)
• Moderately thick – IDDSI level 3 (formerly level 400)
• Extremely thick – IDDSI level 4 (formerly level 900)

Your speech pathologist should inform you which thickness is appropriate for you.  We sell pre-thickened drinks and thickening powders that can be used to thicken fluids to the appropriate thickness.
