1. A composition of matter for improving cardiovascular health comprising:
an amino acid blend, the blend comprising:
about 0.36 g histidine; about 0.94 g isoleucine; about 3.95 g leucine; about 1.88 g lysine; about 0.39 g methionine; about 0.51 g phenylalanine; about 1.05 g threonine; about 0.82 g valine; and about 1.10 g arginine; and
at least one selected from the group consisting of:
citrulline;
a phytostenol,
a stanol, and
a isoflavone.
2. The composition of claim 1 further comprising a low glycemic carbohydrate.
3. The composition of claim 1 further comprising a medium chain fatty acid.
4. The composition of claim 1 wherein said phytostenol and said stanol are in a 2:1 ratio.
5. The composition of claim 1 wherein said isoflavone has a combined mass of about 30 to about 40 g.
6. The composition of claim 2 wherein said low glycemic carbohydrate has a combined mass of about 0.01 to about 15 g.
