ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A beverage product is disclosed which is especially adapted for rapid administration of water and carbohydrates by the human body during periods of heavy muscle work. The product consists of a preferably monosaccharide-free solution contain- ing from 3 to 25% by weight of a mixture of soluble oligo- saccharides with DP values between 2 and 10 inclusive, the average DP value of the oligosaccharide mixture preferably being in the range of from 3 to 5; at least one physiologic- ally acceptable alkalising compound or compound combination; and optionally minor amounts of salts occurring in body liquids and aroma and taste-improving substances. The content of phy- siologically acceptable alkalising compound or compound combina- tion in the solution is such that, when the beverage is consumed during heavy muscle work (e.g. at 60% of the maximal aerobic capacity) in an amount of 250 ml each fifteenth minute over a period of one hour, an increase of the pH value in the ven- tricle contents to above 3.5, preferably above 4.5, especially above 7.0 is achieved. A process for preparing the beverage product and a process for rapidly replacing water lost by per- spiration and preventing a decrease in the glucose content of blood during periods of heavy muscle work are also disclosed.
