Mixing Instructions
Liquid first
Add powder
Use the dosage scoop
included in the tin
- Shake vigorously for 30 seconds
- Leave to stand for 5 minutes
- Give one gentle shake and consume
It is recommended to mix by shaking in a bottle for 30 seconds. Shaking is much more effective than stirring with a fork or hand whisk.
Dosing instructions:
The following table indicates the recommended volume of water at room temperature in mL to reach each IDDSI thickness level.
*The calcium content of tap water varies in different locations, therefore results with tap water can vary. ThickenUp® Junior dosing will need to be adapted according to the water used.

After preparation with ThickenUp® Junior, make sure to use the IDDSI thickness test to check whether you have obtained the desired thickness based on dosing instructions. If necessary, you may need to adapt the dosage slightly to meet the desired thickness.

The following will guide you on how to use ThickenUp® Junior in different milk types (e.g. Infant Formula and Cow’s Milk)
Mixing Instructions
Liquid first
Add powder
Use the dosage scoop
included in the tin
- Shake vigorously for 120 seconds
- Leave to stand for 5 minutes
- Give one gentle shake and consume
*These apply to all milk types
Whichever milk type you wish to thicken, it is recommended to mix by shaking in a bottle for 120 seconds. Shaking is much more effective than stirring with a fork or hand whisk. Shaking for 120 seconds may seem like quite an effort, but
the smooth consistency of the resulting mixture is worth the effort.
Dosing instructions:
1. Infant Formula- from 12-month onwards
To thicken infant formula, the recommended method is to prepare the formula first according to the manufacturer's instructions, then allow the liquid to cool to serving temperature (37°C). Once this step is achieved, use ThickenUp® Junior
to thicken the milk formula. This helps ensure thickness consistency across different milk formulas.
The following table indicates the average volume of prepared infant formula milk recommended to reach IDDSI thickness levels 1 to 3. For example, to obtain level 1 thickness, first prepare your infant formula (90ml of cooled boiled
water + required amount of infant formula powder), then add 1 scoop of ThickenUp® Junior.
*IDDSI level 4 was not tested as infant formula at this thickness.

2. Cow’s milk
ThickenUp® Junior performs very well in cow’s milk. The following table indicates the average volume of whole or 2% cow’s milk recommended to reach IDDSI thickness levels 1 to 4. For example, to obtain level 2 thickness using
cow’s milk (2% fat), mix 70 mL of milk with 2 scoops of ThickenUp® Junior.
*This has been prepared with milk at room temperature.

When you use a certain type of milk for the first time with ThickenUp® Junior, make sure to use the IDDSI thickness test to check whether you have obtained the desired thickness based on dosing instructions. If necessary, you
may need to adapt the dosage slightly to meet the desired thickness.

The following will guide you on how to use ThickenUp® Junior with juices.
Mixing Instructions
Liquid first
Add powder
Use the dosage scoop
included in the tin
- Shake vigorously for 120 seconds
- Leave to stand for 5 minutes
- Give one gentle shake and consume
It is recommended to mix by shaking in a bottle for 120 seconds. Shaking is much more effective than stirring with a fork or hand whisk. Shaking for 120 seconds may seem like quite an effort, but the smooth consistency of the resulting
mixture is worth the effort.
Dosing instructions:
The following table indicates the recommended volume of juices in mL to reach each IDDSI thickness level. For example, mix 100 mL of orange juice with 3 scoops of ThickenUp® Junior to obtain an IDDSI level 3 thickness.
*Orange Juice prepared was without pulp and at room temperature
Take a look at the video on how to prepare orange juice with ThickenUp® Junior
It is important to note that different brands of orange juice can vary (acidity, sugar content, fibre content, pulp…).
When you use an orange juice with ThickenUp® Junior, for the first time, make sure you use the IDDSI thickness test to check whether you have obtained the desired thickness. If necessary, you may
need to adapt the dosage slightly to meet the desired thickness.
