Whey proteins are the major protein ingredients in this beverage, and some contain casein and/or soy as well.
Some drinks have additional ingredients, ranging from vitamin and minerals to nutrients that may increase uptake and delivery of amino acids to the muscle cells.
Protein beverages made at near neutral pH (approximately 6.8) or under acidic condition.
