OptiSol^® 1007

Dairy-based proteins and high-protein claims are capturing today’s market, expanding well beyond the traditional realm of sports nutrition. Over the last four years, the ASPAC region has seen a 3.5% CAGR of new product launches of RTDs in meal replacements, performance nutrition, weight management nutrition, sports nutrition, and RTD coffee. This creates a significant market opportunity for complete or partial whey-based neutral pH beverages to break through the milk protein-laced landscape. OptiSol® 1007 is your solution for better-performing neutral pH protein beverages, overcoming processing challenges while providing the stability needed to achieve the results consumers are seeking.
