Frequently Asked Questions

Thick-It Clear Advantage Mildly Thick Apple Juice is formulated to IDDSI Level 2 (Nectar consistency). This consistency is appropriate for individuals who require mildly thickened liquids as prescribed by a speech-language pathologist or healthcare provider.

Unopened bottles of Thick-It Clear Advantage Apple Juice can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Once opened, the product should be refrigerated and consumed within 24-48 hours for optimal freshness and safety. Always check the product label for specific storage instructions and expiration dates.
Will the thickness change over time after opening?
No, one of the key advantages of Thick-It Clear Advantage products is their stability. Unlike homemade thickened beverages that may continue to thicken or thin out over time, this ready-to-drink formula maintains its IDDSI Level 2 consistency from the moment you open it until you finish the bottle, provided it's stored properly.
Can I use Thick-It Clear Advantage Apple Juice for medication administration?
