This invention relates to a synergistic growth promoting composition. The composition produced by this process is particularly but not exclusively useful in promoting growth and building up resistance against illness in infants and children.
Proteins are essential constituents of living cells and play a very important role in the metabolism of living organisms. Structural substances like hair, horns, cartilage, tendons and the like are made of proteins. Proteins are complex nitrogenous substances consisting mainly of amino acid residues. It is noticed that a great variety of proteins can be synthesized from a small number of amino acids depending upon the molecular weight and the amino acid sequencing of the proteins. Amino acids are therefore, the building blocks of proteins. Animal and vegetable protein forming a part of food intake is biologically degraded into amino acids from which body proteins are synthesized during metabolic changes. It has been observed that out of the 23 amino acids vital for body growth and protein synthesis, eight amino acids are not produced in the body. The need for directly supplying these essential amino acids has been established. Protein requirements are more in growing children. Collagen present in the connective tissues, bones and cartilage is a selero protein and the eight essential amino acids form part of this protein chain. Vitamin C is also essential for the formation of inter cellular collagen. Daily supplement of vitamin C is found necessary as it is water soluble in nature and gets eliminated from the system. The therapeutic use of Vitamin C in large doses for increasing body resistance and immunity has been fully established. A combination of the eight essential amino acids and Vitamin C is found to have synergestic properties each complementing the other. Thus Collagen and other protein synthesis is enhanced and the body becomes more resistant to infections. This combination is found ideal for growing children as Collagen synthesis is enhanced by administering the composition to infants and children.

This invention relates to a synergestic growth promoting composition which comprises a blend of the compounds listed herein - under in the range specified there -against with pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvants and excipients:
L Threonine 0.63 to 1.05 mg
L Valine 1 to 1.69 mg
L Methonine 1.4 to 2.3 mg
L Isoleucine 0.88 to 1.48 mg
L Leucine 2.8 to 4.5 mg
L Phenyl alanine 0.75 to 1.25 mg
L Tryptophan 0.75 to 1.25 mg
L Lysine hydrochloride 3.75 to 6.25 mg
Vitamin C 75 mg to 125 mg.
The composition may contain flavouring and colouring agents in addition to the conventional excipients. A liquid composition is preferred for easy administration to infants and children. Antioxidants like cysteine may also be included for added process advantage and stability of the product. Some of the preferred adjuvants are sodium meta bisulphate, Disodium edetate, Thiourea, Methyl Parahydroxy benzoate Sodium, Propyl Parahydroxy benzoate Sodium, Bronopol TR which is a preservative. Sorbitol, Glycerine, Liquid glucose, Caramel, Sodium Hydroxide, Sweet Orange Flavour and American icecream soda flavour.
Amino acids and vitamin C are dissolved in sorbitol or water and the other adjuvants and flavours are added to adjust to pH of 2.8 to 3.2. Stabilizers and/or preservatives known in the pharmaceutical industry may also be added for increased shelf Ufe.

It is to be understood that obvious equivalents and alterations known to persons skilled in the art fall within the scope of this invention.
