Abstract:
A nutritional supplement composition containing a mixture of whey protein, amino acids, and other beneficial constituents, and a method for making the composition in a nutritionally compact, easy-to-use form. The composition is made by processing a mixture of whey protein, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and other selected ingredients at an appropriate temperature and pH. By adjusting the ph of the mixture to within the approximately range of 2.5-5.0, and by processing at an appropriate temperature, it is possible to obtain a gel composition that contains a surprisingly large fraction of whey proteins (and other beneficial constituents) in readily bioavailable form. The composition can be packaged into conveniently-sized containers that are as easy to store or transport as they are easy to use.
