Aubry Victoire,

A protein rehydration/recovery beverage composition is provided, including an aqueous component such as water, hydrolyzed protein, and sodium acid sulfate and at least one other edible acid. The hydrolyzed protein may be hydrolyzed whey and optionally hydrolyzed collagen. In addition, the beverage composition may include at least one carbohydrate, such as sucrose, and one or more non-nutritive sweeteners. A protein rehydration/recovery beverage composition is provided, including an aqueous component, hydrolyzed proteins and an acid blend. The acid blend contains a first acid component including at least one of phosphoric acid and citric acid, and a second acid component including at least one of tartaric acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, gluconic acid, ascorbic acid, and lactic acid. Also, a method for making a protein recovery beverage composition that has a pH of less than about 4.2. The rehydration/recovery beverage is stable and clean tasting, and has a low viscosity.

Protein recovery beverage

A carbohydrate blend is provided, including at least fructose and glucose. Some or all of the glucose may be provided by glucooligosaccharides having a structure containing up to ten degrees of saccharide polymerization. An aqueous solution having 6% by weight of the carbohydrate blend has a measured osmolality of 230-300 mOsm/kg. Further, the measured osmolality of the carbohydrate solution is substantially stable during storage for up to six months. Also, a rehydration/sports beverage composition is provided, including water, a carbohydrate blend, electrolytes, and optionally edible acids, coloring agents, flavoring agents and the like. The beverage composition may have a measured osmolality of about 230-260 mOsm/kg, which provides faster absorption by the gastrointestinal system of a subject than a beverage composition with a higher osmolality.
