Abstract

Depending upon the quantity of protein being consumed, one or two unit doses of a blend of L-Tryptophan (80 mgs), L-Methionine (90 mgs), L-Valine (103 mgs) and L-Lysine (102 mgs as the hydrochloride salt) used as a supplement will lower urinary urea excretion and post prandial blood glucose levels.

Claims

1. A method for lowering peak post-prandial blood glucose levels and lowering urinary urea by supplementing dietary proteins with a encapsulated blend of 80 mgs L-Tryptophan, 90 mgs of L-Methionine, 103 mgs of L-Valine and 102 mgs of L-Lysine as the hydrochloride salt.
