Definitions

  • Connective tissue is a major part of muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bones. It is the second biggest mass and organ of the body and is important for physical performance. Connective tissue contains mainly collagen structures, which provides bones, tendons, and ligaments structure. Connective tissue contains a matrix of very flexible collagen strings, which is highly stabilized by cross-linking the gelatin-like strings of collagen with pyridinoline (PD) and deoxypyrolidine (DPD). PD and DPD are present only in mature collagen and not in freshly built collagen. In the process of making collagen, collagen strings are first built and then cross-linked with PD and DPD.
  • PD pyridinoline
  • DPD deoxypyrolidine
  • compositions comprising collagen with branched amino acids have previously been tested to try to replace the collagen lost during strenuous physical activity.
  • researchers have identified that when supplemented with collagen peptides in combination with arginine and branched-chain amino acids, amino acid levels increase to optimal levels in athletes leading to a 54% reduction in injury in weekend warriors and 67% reduction in injury of muscles, tendons, and ligaments in professional athletes.
  • the present invention resolves this deficiency and enhances the uptake of collagen peptides based on the components of the composition.
  • the present invention is directed to a dietary supplement composition
  • a dietary supplement composition comprising collagen peptides, glutamine, and taurine.
  • the composition may further include nine essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, histidine, and methionine.
  • the composition of the present invention may be in the form of a solution, suspension, powder, gel, or a liquid.
  • Liquid compositions in turn may be in the form of a concentrated liquid composition, to which a diluent is added, or to fully-diluted liquid compositions, such as ready-to-drink (“RTD”) compositions.

Description

    RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/856,588 filed on Jun. 3, 2019, which is incorporated by reference herein.
    • BACKGROUND
  • Connective tissue is a major part of muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bones. It is the second biggest mass and organ of the body and is important for physical performance. Connective tissue contains mainly collagen structures, which provides bones, tendons, and ligaments structure. Connective tissue contains a matrix of very flexible collagen strings, which is highly stabilized by cross-linking the gelatin-like strings of collagen with pyridinoline (PD) and deoxypyrolidine (DPD). PD and DPD are present only in mature collagen and not in freshly built collagen. In the process of making collagen, collagen strings are first built and then cross-linked with PD and DPD.
  • During training, athletes break down the collagen in their muscles and joints. Urinary analysis of athletes highlight that PD and DPD are excreted in the urine during and after training, which is indicative of collagen breakdown.
  • Compositions comprising collagen with branched amino acids have previously been tested to try to replace the collagen lost during strenuous physical activity. Researchers have identified that when supplemented with collagen peptides in combination with arginine and branched-chain amino acids, amino acid levels increase to optimal levels in athletes leading to a 54% reduction in injury in weekend warriors and 67% reduction in injury of muscles, tendons, and ligaments in professional athletes.
  • However, there remains a need to increase the uptake of collagen along with address other nutrient deficiencies, including the replacement of other amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes lost during strenuous physical activity. The present invention resolves this deficiency and enhances the uptake of collagen peptides based on the components of the composition.
    • SUMMARY
  • The present invention is directed to a dietary supplement composition comprising collagen peptides, glutamine, and taurine. The composition may further include nine essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, histidine, and methionine. The composition of the present invention may be in the form of a solution, suspension, powder, gel, or a liquid. Liquid compositions in turn may be in the form of a concentrated liquid composition, to which a diluent is added, or to fully-diluted liquid compositions, such as ready-to-drink (“RTD”) compositions.
  • In one embodiment, the collagen is present in an amount of about 30 to 60 weight percent of the composition, glutamine is present in an amount of about 2 to about 3.5 weight percent of the composition, and taurine is present in an amount of about 0.2 to about 0.5 weight percent of the composition.
  • Alternatively, the dietary supplement composition may contain collagen in an amount of about 40-55 weight percent of the composition, glutamine in an amount of about 2.75-3.0 weight percent of the composition, and taurine in an amount of about 0.3-0.45 weight percent of the composition. In another embodiment, collagen is present in an amount of about 50-55 weight percent of the composition, glutamine is present in an amount of about 2.75-3.0 weight percent of the composition, and taurine is present in an amount of about 0.4-0.42 weight percent of the composition.
  • The present invention also may be described by the amount of collagen, glutamine, and taurine in a standard serving, where the standard serving size is 36-38 grams or, for diluted compositions, 24 fluid ounces. In one embodiment of the present invention, the amount of collagen in the composition is about 10-30 grams/serving, the amount of glutamine in the composition is about 0.5-1.5 grams/serving, and the amount of taurine in the composition is about 0.1-0.2 grams/serving.
  • Additional components of the composition may include coconut water, electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc, selenium, and vitamins. The vitamins may include Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B5, folate, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D.
  • The compositions of the present invention are intended to replace collagen broken down during physical activity. Administration of the composition to a patient in need thereof may bring post-collagen levels of the athlete to within 0-5%, 0-10%, or 0-15% of the collagen levels pre-workout or PD and DPD levels within 1%, 2%, 5%, or 10% of the pre-workout levels.
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a dietary supplement composition that may be consumed as a meal or as a meal supplement to maintain collagen levels in the body, which help to support muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments. The compositions of the present invention comprise collagen, preferably in the form of collagen peptides, in combination with glutamine and taurine, and preferably with the essential amino acids and branched-chain amino acids. The composition may be used in the form of a liquid, solution, suspension, powder, or gel. If in powder form, the powder preferably is mixed in a soluble liquid prior to administration as directed. Compositions in the form of liquids include concentrated liquid compositions, to which a diluent is added, as well as fully-diluted liquid compositions, such as ready-to-drink (“RTD”) compositions.
  • Collagen is present in the composition in an amount of about 30 to 60 weight percent of the composition, about 40 to 55 weight percent of the composition, or about 50 to 55 weight percent of the composition.
