Abstract
Nutritional compositions are provided for the management of protein intake which have a carbohydrate to protein ratio of at least about 3.5:1 and a ratio of one group of amino acids to another group of amino acids of from about 3:1 to about 6.5:1 where the one group consists of glycine, serine, lysine, alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, proline, arginine and hydroxyproline and the other group of amino acids consists of phenylalanine, tryptophan, threonine, valine, isoleucine, histidine, leucine, tyrosine and methionine. The compositions provide minimized interference with large neutral amino acid (LNAA) type therapeutic agents.
Claims22
A nutritional composition for the management of protein intake which comprises a first weight-to-weight ratio of carbohydrate to protein of from about 3.5:1 to about 12:1, and a second A:B weight-to-weight ratio of from about 3:1 to about 6.5:1 wherein:
- A is the group of amino acids consisting of glycine, serine, lysine, alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, proline, arginine and hydroxyproline;
- and
- B is the group of amino acids consisting of phenylalanine, tryptophan, threonine, valine, isoleucine, histidine, leucine, tyrosine and methionine.
A method of managing protein intake comprising the administration of a composition which comprises a first weight-to-weight ratio of carbohydrate to protein of from about 3.5:1 to about 12:1 and a second A:B weight-to-weight ratio of from about 3:1 to about 6.5:1 wherein:
- A is the group of amino acids consisting of glycine, serine, lysine, alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, proline, arginine and hydroxyproline;
- and
- B is the group of amino acids consisting of phenylalanine, tryptophan, threonine, valine, isoleucine, histidine, leucine, tyrosine and methionine.
