Abstract
Vegetarian amino acid sources are combined to create a protein blend that closely matches human muscle tissue in terms of amino acid composition. “Closely matching” means that the amino acid composition of the protein blend is within five percent (5%) of the amino acid composition of human muscle for all of the amino acids of the human muscle. The protein blend can be used as food or food supplement to facilitate and bolster muscle anabolism for healthy humans desiring such result and also to treat and or ameliorate the effects of certain diseases and conditions such as sarcopenia, cancer cachexia, HIV wasting, malnutrition, primary muscle diseases (myopathy) and side effects of corticosteroid therapy.
Claims20
A composition for affecting anabolism in a human comprising the combination of
- a) a plurality of vegetable proteins selected from the group consisting of soy protein, rice protein, pea protein, buckwheat protein, wheat protein, potato protein, sunflower protein, safflower protein, hops protein and mustard protein and
- b) one or more isolated amino acids selected from the group consisting of lysine, glycine and alanine,
- the composition closely matching with a difference of no more than five percent (5%) for each amino acid, the amino acid composition of human muscle.
A composition in accordance with 5 where in one unitary dose of the supplement the ingredients are present in the following amounts:
- 20 to 500 mg soy protein isolate per unitary dose;
- 20 to 500 mg pea protein isolate per unitary dose;
- 400 to 900 mg rice protein isolate per unitary dose
- L-lysine HCl Gran (containing 80% L-lysine) 5 to 75 mg per unitary dose, and
- glycine USP 5 to 75 mg per unitary dose.
A powder composition to be used mixed with water as a beverage, for inducing muscle anabolism in a human, one unitary dose of the composition comprising the combination of
- Soy protein isolate 0.1 to 30 grams;
- Pea protein isolate 0.1 to 30 grams;
- Rice protein isolate 0.1 to 30 grams;
- L-Lysine HCI Gran (80% Lysine) 0.1 to 3 grams;
- Glycine USP (aminoacetic acid) 0.1 to 3 grams;
- the composition closely matching with a difference of no more than five percent (5%) for each amino acid, the amino acid composition of human muscle.
