ABSTRACT:
A nutritional composition for providing glutamine to a human or animal. The protein source of the composition includes carob protein which is rich in glutamine. A source of Met may also be included. The composition may be used in the treatment of stressed patients; for example those patients who are critically ill, suffering from sepsis, injury, burns, or inflammation, or who are recovering from surgery. Further, the composition may be used to raise plasma glutamine levels; for example in athletes after intense exercise.
