The Baker Amino Acid Diet is a synthetic, purified diet. The diet contains crystalline amino acids (16% of the diet, 13.9% crude protein equivalent) as the sole source on nitrogen.
This formula was first introduced in Hirakawa et al. 1984. "Comparative utilization of a crystalline amino acid diet and a methionine fortified casein diet by young rats and mice."
