Expedite Concentrated Collagen Tropical Fruit Flavor, 2 oz Cup

Expedite™ Thickened Food – Tropical Fruit Flavor Gel (2 oz) IDDSI Level 4

Support wound recovery without compromising safety with Expedite Thickened Food, a medical-grade nutritional supplement specifically designed for individuals with swallowing difficulties. This 2 oz Tropical Fruit flavored gel meets IDDSI Level 4 Extremely Thick standards, providing a safe and effective way for those with dysphagia to receive clinical-strength wound care support. Each serving contains a proprietary blend of collagen dipeptides and L-citrulline to promote faster tissue repair and improved circulation at the site of pressure injuries or surgical wounds.

Managing chronic wounds requires a high intake of specific proteins and amino acids, which can be challenging for those on a texture-modified diet. Expedite Thickened Food solves this by delivering a high concentration of proline-hydroxyproline and hydroxyproline-glycine dipeptides in a consistent, honey-like gel texture. This low-volume, high-potency formula is ideal for patients who require focused nutritional intervention but are limited by fluid consistency requirements or low appetite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does IDDSI Level 4 mean for this product?

A: IDDSI Level 4 indicates that this product is "Extremely Thick" or "Pureed." It is designed to be eaten with a spoon, does not require chewing, and is specifically formulated to stay together during the swallowing process to help prevent aspiration in individuals with dysphagia.

Q: How does the collagen blend in Expedite differ from standard protein?

A: Expedite uses specialized collagen dipeptides that act as signaling molecules to directly stimulate the body's natural collagen production. Combined with L-citrulline, which boosts nitric oxide levels for better blood flow, it targets the wound site more specifically than general protein supplements.

Q: Is this product ready to serve immediately?

A: Yes, Expedite Thickened Food is a ready-to-eat gel. There is no mixing, thickening, or preparation required, ensuring a consistent and safe texture every time it is served.

Q: Can this be used for diabetic wound care?

A: Yes, this formula is sugar-free and contains 10 grams of protein and 50 calories per serving. It is a suitable option for individuals managing blood sugar levels who also require nutritional support for pressure sores or ulcers.

Q: How should this gel be stored?

A: Expedite gel can be stored at room temperature but is often preferred chilled for better taste. Once opened, any unused portion should be refrigerated and consumed according to clinical safety guidelines for thickened foods.
