Safer hydration

It is a practical and helpful management tool for hydration in dysphagia patients. With amylase-resistant features it ensures thickened water will maintain the prescribed consistency and prevents the formation of thin, free fluid in the mouth on consumption.

Nutilis Aqua consists of 98% water and is sugar free. It is suitable for patients requiring stage 2 consistency fluids*.

It is available in 3 natural flavours: orange, grenadine and mint. Nutilis Aqua tastes best when served chilled.

* According to the British Dietetic Association (BDA) and Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists “National Descriptors for Texture Modification in Adults” guidelines (BDA, 2002)
