The effect of supplementing wheat with lysine was studied in preschool children resident in an orphanage.

There was a statistically significant increase in height (P < 0.05) in the children fed with lysine-supplemented wheat compared with the children who served as controls on unsupplemented wheat.

Significant differences in hemoglobin, packed cell volume, total serum protein, serum albumin, and nitrogen retention were not observed between the two groups.

The value of lysine supplementation of diets composed largely of cereal is discussed.
