So I'm slightly confused about the wording of these patents.
"CLAIMS(2)
1. An Amino Acid Compound consisting essentially of a nitrate or nitrite of an Amino Acid selected from the group consisting of Arginine Beta Alanine, Agmatine, Citrulline, Creatine, Glutamine, L-Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Norvaline, or Ornithine.
2. The Amino Acid Compound of claim 1 wherein the Amino Acid is Arginine."
Do they mean that supplements can't use any combination of Agmatine nitrate, arginine nitrate, etc or that a product can't contain one of these ingredients and then also have a nitrate in the formula? Or does it mean both of these things?
"A composition and a supplement formulation includes: at least one constituent selected from the group consisting of a vegetable nitrate source, a vegetable nitrite source, and both; and at least one constituent amino acid selected from the group consisting of Arginine, Agmatine, Beta Alanine, Citrulline, Creatine, Glutamine, L-Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Norvaline, Ornithine, Valine, Aspartic Acid, Cysteine, Glycine, Lysine, Methionine, Proline, Tyrosine, and Phenylalanine."
And does this mean you can't combine a standardized vegetable nitrate with any of those ingredients without infringing a patent? Thanks for the help. Full patents can be found here:
