Abstract

Description

Nutritional Ccmpoition The present invention relates to improved
nutritional compositions and to methods of making the same. In particular the invention relates to nutritional products which help to improve performance of athletes, active people or those driving long distances or operating machinery.
When people exercise they perspire and the resultant loss of water may lead to dehydration, impaired heat dissipation, reduced exercise performance and potential health problems. Prolonged exercise may also deplete the carbohydrate energy stores of the body leading to reduced exercise performance. Ingesting both fluid and carbohydrate during exercise can replace some of the fluid lost and the energy stores used up and may enhance performance.
Nutritional compositions for consumption during exercise are known. People driving long distances or operating machinery also take such compositions to help them stay alert and maintain performance.
. 25 Compositions of this kind often include caffeine as a * ** stimulant. Caffeine is known to increase capacity for S...
mental or physical labour. However, there are a number of disadvantages associated with caffeine use, particularly when high doses are taken.
