- Summary
- The Committee on Military Nutrition was asked to evaluate the performance-enhancing potential of specific food components, such as the potential for tyrosine, other amino acids, complex carbohydrates, caffeine, carnitine, choline, and long-chain fatty acids to help sharpen an individual's performance under the strain of military missions. The committee was requested to indicate which if any of these food ingredients would offer the most promise for future research that would lead to the development of prototype ration components. The committee was also asked to address six general questions about using food components to enhance performance in military combat settings. The findings of the committee are contained in this report.
