Glycerol may be placed into liquid form and consumed as a pre-workout or pump product to increase hydration during exercise. Liquid-based glycerol products may embrace the hygroscopic properties associated with glycerol by delivering glycerol in a liquid form that is more compatible and complementary to these physical properties. A liquid suspension of a glycerol-based product may overcome the hygroscopic disadvantages experienced with glycerol when provided in a powder form, chiefly poor mixing, instability during storage, shipping or packaging, as well as dosing limitations.

A beverage composition made with low-calorie, lactose-free skim milk in liquid or dry powder form. Amelanchier alnifolia extract having Abscisic Acid is added to the skim milk in a multi-step process that utilizes CO.sub.2 to maintain the nutrient value of the extract. Crystalline fructose, natural flavorings, nutrients and carbonation are added to produce a flavorful beverage composition. A method to make a carbonated beverage composition with low-calorie, lactose-free skim milk and Amelanchier alnifolia extract includes a series of steps to preserve the nutrient value of the extract.
