The rapid consumer shift toward a healthy lifestyle, by regularly eating nutritious food and exercising, is expected to increase the demand for protein water. Furthermore, it provides a good supplement to other artificial food beverages with inferior nutritional value, so providing athletes with a whole health benefit in a single package.
