What is disclosed is a protein supplement drink mix comprising at least one base protein powder and a plurality of separately packaged second components, each second component having at least one different active ingredient pre-selected for the physiological needs regarding a pre-determined activity, age, and/or gender demographic. The first component and the second component are mixed generally with a liquid to provide a base for a protein drink, although a liquid can form a portion of the first component or second components.

The invention relates to a microencapsulated amino acid composition and methods of manufacturing this composition. Amino acids, such as branched-chain amino acids, have low water solubility, poor hydrophilicity, and poor stability. Amino acids are thus difficult to be digested and absorbed. Consequently amino acids can hardly meet human needs of consuming. This microencapsulated amino acid composition that can quickly disperse and dissolve in cold water, resulting clear solution. The method includes (1) adding coating agents, wetting agents, or other excipients to the amino acid mixture, (2) modifying the surface of microencapsulated particles to considerably accelerate the wetting speed. In this composition, the weight ratio of amino acids and excipients is from 100/0.1 to 100/10.0.
