A method of creating nutritional supplements including the steps of obtaining a customer's nutrient deficiency, calculating an ionic supplement composition based on the underlying element composition of the delivery product and the deficiency information, and mixing the ionic elements in dehydrated form with an appropriate liquid suspension.

The present invention relates to a formulation in the form of an aqueous suspension comprising calcium citrate. Said formulation exhibits excellent stability and compliance and finds use in calcium supplementation in subjects in need of such supplementation.

Providing an oat bran composition that contains water, optionally an acid, and oat bran delivering at least about 0.75 g of beta glucan per serving to provide a heart-healthy and consumer-acceptable product through application of shear to reduce viscosity.

The present invention provides nutritional supplements consisting of an alginate hydrogel with sub-saturating amounts of calcium ions and comprising an aqueous solution comprising active ingredients, selected from sugars, complex carbohydrates, electrolytes, caffeine, and amino acids. The nutritional supplements allow for intake of carbohydrates without causing oral pH lowering and risk of dental caries, and without causing gastrointestinal discomfort while maintaining a high rate of intestinal uptake and oxidation of carbohydrates.
