Abstract
Methods of reducing post-prandial fluctuations in plasma levels of large, neutral amino acids (LNAA), as well as compositions useful in that method. The foods and compositions comprise a carbohydrate to protein ratio of from about 3:1 to about 6:1 and, in a specific embodiment, a ratio of 4:1, which results in minimizing the variability in responses individuals exhibit to drugs which are LNAA.
