On a study in which the conclusion states, in part, "Use of minimal
aliquots of L-aspartic acid and EHC for ß-glucuronidase inhibition
results in increased fecal bilirubin excretion and less jaundice,
without disruption of the breastfeeding experience. Decreased
jaundice in the W/C group, which lacked a ß-glucuronidase inhibitor,
suggests a different mechanism."

A google/patent search reveals that the principal author already
holds a 2002 patent for the use of aspartic and/or malic acids in the
