A slush beverage formulation and method for preparing same that, once reaching a steady-state temperature in a freezer, results in a pourable slush. The pourable slush is obtained by formulating to a specific range of ingredient content, dependent on the alcohol content of the end product. In a preferred form, an ice-nucleating agent and/or an ice-particle-shape-controlling ingredient are added.

The present invention is directed to improving physical and athletic performance and supporting recovery of joints, ligaments, and tendons with collagen peptides and dietary ingredients that physical and athletic performance. The dietary supplement composition of the present invention comprise collagen, preferably in the form of hydrolyzed collagen peptides, in combination with Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAA), Creatine Nitrate, Arginine Nitrate, N- acetyl-L-Carnitine, L-Citrulline, Betaine Anhydrous, Alpha-Glyceryl Phosphoryl Choline, Ancient Peat Extract with Apple Fruit Extract, and Caffeine. Physical and athletic performance, as well as recovery from exercise, is improved using this combination of components.

It has surprisingly been discovered that it is possible to stabilise biomolecules such as RNA, DNA and proteins in biological samples such as cells, tissues, biopsies and blood using deep eutectic solvents (DES). It has also been discovered that DES mixtures can be used to fix and preserve cell morphology in biological samples such as tissue blocks, cancer biopsies and whole blood. This invention describes methods to stabilise and preserve biomolecules, whole cells, tissues, blood and biological samples using DES mixtures.

A confectionery product for consumption before, during and/or after physical exercise is described. The confectionery product comprises a hard candy outer portion and a core of chewy candy encapsulated in the hard candy outer portion. The hard candy outer portion comprises a first nutritional supplement formulated for consumption before physical exercise. The core of chewy candy comprises a second nutritional supplement formulated for consumption during and/or after physical exercise. In use, the hard candy outer portion is consumed before the core so as to sequentially deliver the first and second nutritional supplements to the consumer. A method of sequentially delivering nutritional supplements respectively formulated to be consumed before, during and/or after physical exercise, and a method of preparing a confectionery product for consumption before, during and/or after physical exercise are also described.
