AquaCareH2O tastes like water and looks like water. Unlike starch based products, there are no masking agents or flavor additives in AquaCareH2O. What this means is, that your residents can taste the water. AquaCareH2O is ready to use with any concentrate to give the patient a quality drink of coffee, juice, or a flavored drink. When necessary it can be combined with purees, foods such as beans or carrots, to give the patient a flavorful meal that is easy to swallow.
Clearly Superior Advantages
- Better Hydration. Because of its make up, AquaCareH2O requires no energy to digest and, and does not produce any side affects that can occur with starch based products. Absorption is also higher, producing a better hydration rate.
- Zero Calories.Because there are no calories to be converted to glucose, AquaCareH2O is a superior choice for diabetic residents.
- Gluten Free. No starch or wheat products at all.
- Versatile. It's just like water. Drink it as is, mix it with beverage concentrates, boil it, freeze it.
- Stable. With starch-based products, the amylase from a patient's/resident's saliva breaks down the beverage over time, thinning it out. Because AquaCareH2O is fiber based, there are no sugars that can be broken down.
- Consistency. AquaCareH2O uses xanthan, which means it is always the same viscosity. Starch varies in makeup by geographic area, as well as species of corn, causing product variation.
