In Italy, Emmi released Sport & Body Whey Drink under the Emmi Lacto Tab brand. Emmi Lacto Tab Whey-Based Performance Drink is a drink containing whey, enriched with Q10 co-enzymes, vitamins and mineral salts. The most innovative part of the product is that the whey is separated from the rest of the ingredients by being packaged in a blister pack. This means the drink is mixed almost immediately before it is drunk.
