Performance enhancing composition and method of delivering nutrients
An aqueous composition specifically adapted for supporting physical performance. The liquid composition comprises ribose, a saccharide such as glucose or dextrose, coenzyme Q10, ATP, caffeine, and D-pinitol in conjunction with minerals and electrolytes. The orally-consumed liquid composition may be sold in solid form, such as a powder, granulate, or tablet to be added to water or other fluid, or it may be sold as a shelf-stable ready-to-drink liquid. The liquid composition physiologically enhances essential energy stores and provides a supply of ingredients which support physiological generation and regeneration of ATP.

a saccharide which is glucose or dextrose in the range of from 15 to 340 grams per liter of the liquid;
ribose in the range of from 25 to 85 grams per liter of the liquid;
coenzyme Q10 in the range of from 15 milligrams to 5 grams per liter of the liquid;
ATP disodium in the range of from 15 milligrams to 17 grams per liter of the liquid;
caffeine in the range of from 415 milligrams to 17 grams per liter of the liquid;
D-pinitol in the range of from 15 milligrams to 17 grams per liter of the liquid;
sodium in the range of from 15 milligrams to 5 grams per liter of the liquid;
potassium in the range of from 15 milligrams to 3.5 grams per liter of the liquid;
