A few amino acid defined formulas are shown below. This
type of diet is used when a diet needs to be deficient in one or
more amino acids, or adjustments need to be made to specific amino
acid levels. Please contact us for
additional formulas of this nature or for more information about
altering the amino acid profile of a
diet.
Formula examples:
TD.99366
Amino Acid Diet
TD.90262
Methionine & Choline Deficient Diet
TD.00434
Folic Acid Deficient Diet
TD.99386
No Lysine AA Diet
Sometimes this type of diet is used to further reduce the
background level of certain vitamins that are found in protein
sources such as casein or vitamin-free (alcohol extracted) casein.
Some folic acid deficient diets utilize this approach.
The amino acid profile for most amino acid defined diets is based
on work by Harper and Rogers (J. Nutr. (1965) 87:267-276) and is
not representative of the amino acid profile of an intact protein
source such as casein. Other amino acid profiles can be specified.
When an amino acid(s) is removed or reduced, isonitrogenous
adjustment can be made if required. Contact us for more
information.
