Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object of the present invention is to provide an oral composition useful for promoting collagen synthesis and the like. The present invention can provide an oral composition containing collagen or gelatin or a degradation product thereof, and hydroxyproline or a salt thereof. The weight ratio of alanine and hydroxyproline contained in the amino acids obtained by hydrolyzing the oral composition is preferably 1:1.5-150.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of promoting collagen synthesis or reducing face dryness, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an oral composition comprising (a) a composition of collagen or gelatin or a degradation product thereof, and (b) hydroxyproline or a salt thereof, wherein the weight ratio of (a):(b) in the oral composition is 1:0.2-5.0, the weight ratio of the free form of alanine to the free form of hydroxyproline obtained by hydrolyzing the oral composition is 1:3.5-60, the weight of hydroxyproline liberated by hydrolysis of the oral composition is 0.1-1 g, and the composition is in one or more discrete portions. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oral composition is formed by adding hydroxyproline or a salt thereof to the composition of collagen or gelatin or a degradation product thereof. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hydrolyzing is hydrolyzing with an acid or alkali. 4. A method of promoting collagen synthesis or reducing face dryness, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an oral composition comprising (a) collagen or gelatin or a degradation product thereof, and (b) hydroxyproline or a salt thereof, wherein the weight ratio of (a):(b) in the oral composition is 1:0.2-5.0, the weight ratio of the free form of alanine to the free form of hydroxyproline obtained by hydrolyzing the oral composition is 1:3.5-60, the weight of hydroxyproline liberated by hydrolysis of the oral composition is 0.1-1 g, and the composition is in one or more discrete portions. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the oral composition is formed by adding hydroxyproline or a salt thereof to the collagen or gelatin or a degradation product thereof. 6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the hydrolyzing is hydrolyzing with an acid or alkali.
