Abstract
Compositions including an amino acid component including: L-histidine, L-isoleucine, L-leucine, L-lysine, L-phenylalanine, L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-valine and L-arginine and optimized levels of L-methionine. L-tryptophan content may also be elevated and optimized, and additional amino acids including arginine, L-arginine, L-citrulline, L-carnitine and L-cysteine may optionally be present. Methods of treating muscle, wounds, surgical procedures, skin conditions and other conditions using such compositions are also provided.
Claims16
