Nutritionally fortified liquid composition with added value delivery systems/elements/additives
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A nutritionally fortified liquid composition for consumption by humans and animals comprising:
- safe water;
encapsulated additives which preserve biological activity of the encapsulated additives while eliminating taste of said additives; and
between 0.1% and 10% by weight water-soluble indigestible fiber; and
, wherein fewer than 10 calories per 100 ml are metabolized by a human when consuming the composition and wherein a human consuming the composition is unable to detect a taste difference between the safe water and the composition.

Abstract
A shelf-stable, ready to use, water-like composition for humans/animals; as an adjunct to fiber-water, and/or safe drinking water, consumed directly, tube feedings, or in the preparation/reconstitution of food(s)/beverage(s). Fortified Fiber-Water is fiber-water, with added delivery systems: Encapsulations/particles, of different size(s), shape(s), material(s), colors, non-visible, serving one or more functions: improved taste, odor-masking; controlled release applications; bio-availability of actives, avoid hygroscopicity; minimized interactions, improved thermal, oxidative, and shelf-life; decorative. Viscosity changing elements, (with one or more viscosity changing additives, with or without encapsulations, particles) to enhance delivery of active medicants/ingredients of categories: pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, therapeutics, diagnostics, etc. Composition ensures hydration, simultaneously providing soluble fiber (fiber-water), with additives contained within the delivery systems, having the ability to target specific health goals/needs: weight loss, diabetes, cholesterol/heart, gastrointestinal tract disorders/improvement, osteoporosis, cancer, pain, stress, relaxant, stimulant etc.
