Claims8
A process for facilitating the assimilation of dietary protein into body tissue comprising:
- orally administering to a subject a dietary supplement including substantially pure fructose and a protein having a protein efficiency ratio of about 2.5 or greater;
- and
- eliminating the consumption by said subject of substantially all insulin-stimulating carbohydrates for a period prior to said oral administration of sufficient duration to reduce the insulin present in the bloodstream of said subject at the time of said administration to near basal levels and for a period subsequent to said oral administration of sufficient duration to allow substantially complete assimilation of said protein into body tissue.
In a process for increasing the muscular strength of a person wherein said person conducts activity to work the muscles to be strengthened, the improvement comprising:
- administering to said person a dietary supplement including substantially pure fructose and a protein having a protein efficiency ratio of about 2.5 or greater;
- and
