Claim 11:
12. A composition comprising:
a) an effective amount of one or more peptides, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein each of the one or more peptides consist of two to five amino acid residues, at least two of the residues are aspartic acid, and the one or more peptides do not contain histidine, wherein the effective amount of the one or more peptides is from 0.01 mmol to 3.0 mmol per serving size of the composition;
a) a vitamin and mineral supplement product; and
c) a physiologically acceptable mineral capable of degrading the vitamin and mineral supplement product; wherein the physiologically acceptable mineral is intentionally added to the composition or is endogenously present in the composition; wherein the physiologically acceptable mineral is copper, iron, chromium, zinc, manganese, or a combination of the foregoing;
