Dan, a high school junior, is developing a sports drink for cross country runners, starting with a lemonade flavor. He seeks advice on potential chemical reactions that may occur when combining various supplements, including vitamins and minerals, in his drink formulation. The specific supplements he plans to include are folic acid, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, beta-carotene, sodium chloride, calcium, magnesium, potassium, manganese, L-Tyrosine, and glycine. He is looking for insights from experienced chemists or professors regarding the reactivity of these ingredients when mixed. Additionally, he welcomes any suggestions for his project.

Hello my name is Dan,

I am a high school junior and had an idea i need some help with. I am currently designing a sports drink for myself and my fellow cross country runners. I am planning on making a flavor, hypothetically lemonade first, then via multivitamin supplements, powder, and soft gel tablets. My question is reactivity, now I am in AP Chemistry and i couldn't answer this one so any college professors or highly educated chemists. With all of these supplements being added amounting to approximately, are there going to be any reactions occurring? Also any suggestions you guys may have also appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan.

Thread 'Molecular-level explanation of macroscopic phenomena: dissolving'

What I know and please correct me: a macroscopic probe of raw sugar you can buy from the store can be modeled to be an almost perfect cube of a size of 0.7 up to 1 mm. Let's assume it was really pure, nothing else but a conglomerate of H12C22O11 molecules stacked one over another in layers with van de Waals (?) "forces" keeping them together in a macroscopic state at a temperature of let's say 20 degrees Celsius. Then I use 100 such tiny pieces to throw them in 20 deg water. I stir the...
