Abstract
Protein is essential for the maintenance of optimal health. Without adequate amounts of amino acids, organs become dysfunctional and ultimately death can result. Protein deficiency is a common problem in both adults and children. Numerous nutritional supplements have been developed to help optimize protein intake. The purpose of this paper is to describe the use of tryptophan-fortified hydrolyzed collagen for nutritional support in malnourished patients.
