Disclosed are nutritional compositions, and methods of using and making the nutritional compositions, that include calcium beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate and protein. The calcium beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate is in sequestered or ion-exchanged form to reduce the interaction of the calcium with the protein in the nutritional composition and improve the overall stability of the nutritional composition.

Nutritional compositions including calcium beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate, protein and low levels of electrolytes

Disclosed are flavored nutritional beverages comprising (A) fat; (B) milk protein representing from about 10% to 100% by weight of total protein; (C) carbohydrate comprising from about 75% to 100% by weight of at least one of (i) from about 0.1% to about 10% sucrose, trehalose, or combination thereof, by weight of the beverage, and (iii) from about 0.1% to about 20% maltodextrin by weight of the nutritional liquid, the maltodextrin having a DE value of from about 1 to about 10, and (iii) combinations of (i) and (ii); (D) an iron-containing material, and (E) a flavorant. The flavored nutritional beverages, unlike many iron-fortified milk-based beverages available today, do not readily develop beige or gray hues during formulation, processing and storage, and are thus more easily formulated with little or no color distortion and with improved or more accurately matched flavor-color combinations.

Iron-fortified, milk-based, flavored beverages with improved color

The present invention is directed to a zinc supplemented ORS and its use in the treatment of diarrhea.

Oral rehydration compositions

In general this invention relates to a powder composition that provides a low fat vitamin and mineral fortified coffee drink when reconstituted with water. The nutritional composition being in the form of a soluble powder containing an instant coffee component, a protein component, a vitamin/mineral component providing at least 25% of U.S. RDI per 8 oz serving, and a carbohydrate component in about 140 Cal per 8 oz serving.
