ABSTRACT:
A universal dietary supplement for proteins consisting of a blend of four essential amino acids was developed. A unit dose consisting of a blend of 80 mg of L-Tryptophan, 90 mg of L-Methionine, 103 mg of L-Valine and 128 mg of L-Lysine Monohydrochloride; taken after meals, will improve the biological value and net protein utilization of individual and combinations of proteins. The levels of supplementation were derived by taking into consideration the average fasting plasma concentrations of the eight essential amino acids, and two nonessential amino acids. L-Tyrosine and L-Cystine, of several adult males and females. The two nonessential amino acids were included since they are phenylalanine and methionine sparing, respectively. The ideal protein for humans is considered to be a multiple of the fasting plasma concentrations expressed in millimoles. The variation in protein composition makes it impractical to attain the ideal. However, a study of the essential amino acid composition of 61 commonly consumed proteins revealed that three of the ones present in the lowest concentrations, in other words, the first, second and third limiting essential amino acids, will become less limiting after administration of the unit dose. In all cases at least three of the essential amino acids in the unit dose will match the first three limiting ones in the various proteins. Such strategic supplementation will result in greater net protein utilization and lower excesses of underutilized amino acids, thereby reducing the possibility of their being converted to undesirable metabolic products, such as, urea, cholesterol and triglycerides.
