  • NUTRITIONAL COMPOSITIONS INCLUDING CALCIUM BETA-HYDROXY-BETA-METHYLBUTYRATE, CASEIN PHOSPHOPEPTIDE, AND PROTEIN
    Publication number: 20160037815
    Abstract: Nutritional compositions that include calcium ?-hydroxy-?-methylbutyrate and protein, and methods of using and making the nutritional compositions are provided. Casein phosphopeptide is utilized to sequester the calcium ?-hydroxy-?-methylbutyrate to reduce the interaction between the divalent calcium ions and protein in the nutritional composition to improve the overall stability, shelf life, and viscosity of the nutritional composition, while also facilitating the absorption of calcium.
