Beverage with Collagen and Additional Additives

Abstract

The present invention concerns a beverage having water and a concentration range of about 0.001 grams per liter to 8.44 grams per liter of collagen, wherein the collagen is hydrolyzed. The collagen concentration range may be between 1 milligram per liter to about 8440 milligram per liter or 1 parts per million to about 8440 parts per million. The hydrolyzed collagen has collagen peptides. The collagen peptides are produced through hydrolysis of a plurality of collagen sources. The plurality of collagen sources are derived from at least one of animal raw materials, animals raised in non-organic or organic farms, animals from various animal species and various parts of the animal carcass. The water may be comprised of at least one of tap water, spring or mineral water, and iceberg or glacier water.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A beverage comprising:
 water;   and a concentration range of about 0.001 grams per liter to 8.44 grams per liter of collagen.   
     
     
         2 . The beverage of  claim 1 , wherein the collagen is hydrolyzed. 
     
     
         3 . The beverage of  claim 1 , wherein the collagen concentration range is between 1 milligram per liter to about 8440 milligram per liter. 
     
     
         4 . The beverage of  claim 1 , wherein the collagen concentration range is between 1 parts per million to about 8440 parts per million. 
     
     
         5 . The beverage of  claim 1  wherein the collage concentration range is between at least one of 8.44 grams per liter to 0.001 grams per liter of collagen, 8440 milligram per liter to about 1 milligram per liter, and 8440 parts per million to about 1 parts per million. 
     
     
         6 . The beverage of  claim 2 , wherein the hydrolyzed collagen is comprised collagen peptides. 
     
     
         7 . The beverage of  claim 2 , wherein the collagen peptides is produced through hydrolysis of a plurality of collagen sources. 
     
     
         8 . The beverage of  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of collagen sources derived from at least one of animal raw materials, animals raised in non-organic or organic farms, animals from various animal species and various parts of the animal carcass. 
     
     
         9 . The beverage of  claim 1  wherein the water may be comprised of at least one of tap water, spring or mineral water, and iceberg or glacier water. 
     
     
         10 . The beverage of  claim 1 , wherein the beverage may be carbonated or non carbonated. 
     
     
         11 . A beverage comprising:
 a clear, colourless liquid containing hydrolyzed bovine collagen; and   crystalline fructose; and   a fruit flavourant; and   citric acid; and   a powder mix of vitamins and minerals.
