Abstract: A method of treating a mammal to promote wound healing in the mammal in need thereof, comprising orally administering to the mammal an effective amount of a palatable, concentrated protein composition comprising an effective amount of hydrolyzed gelatin and tryptophan, and an ingestible carrier, the composition comprising the essential amino acids required by the mammal. Palatability is preferably achieved by the use of an effective amount of a sweetener. The method is particularly useful for treating wounds resulting from decubitus ulcers and bariatric surgery.

Abstract: A method of treating nutritional deficiency during cardiac cachexia, diabetes, hypoglycemia, gastroenterology, skin conditions related to lipid, cell glycogen and keratin deficiencies and alcoholism which comprises ingestion of a pre-digested protein composition containing all of the essential amino acids and having a palatable taste and odor.

Abstract: A mwethod for providing high-protein nutrition, such as to aid the process of body build-up before surgery and of tissue repair after surgery or in other situations where rapid body build-up is desirable, which comprises ingestion of a pre-digested protein composition containing all of the essential amino acids and having a palatable taste and odor.

Abstract: A method of preventing obesity which comprises ingestion of a pre-digested protein composition formed from hydrolyzed gelatin to which has been added an effective amount of tryptophane, said composition containing all of the essential amino acids and having a palatable taste and odor.
