ABSTRACT:
In the present invention, L-amino acids comprise the medical food which provides a source of protein-equivalent of free purified L-amino acids in a palatable powdered form which can be incorporated into a liquid beverage or into proprietary low-protein solid food products without adversely affecting the organoleptic qualities of these foods. The mixture can act to deliver a protein-equivalent in heretofore unavailable and, thereby, novel ways. Some important considerations contributing to the value of the composition of the L-amino acids and the process by which the amino acid-modified diet is administered are: a protein-equivalent as low in total L-amino acid elements as is nutritionally safe, in quantities to balance the amino acid contributions from the natural foods with up to 100% of certain unpalatable L-amino acids: L-glutamic acid, L-asparatic acid, L-arginine, and L-methionine, replaced by their more palatable counterparts: L-glutamine, L-asparagine, L-citrulline, and L-cystine, respectively; and a dietary prescription which assigns the medical food intake on the basis of both energy and protein needs remaining after the low protein natural foods and proprietary products are accounted for.
