MAP™ is a dietary protein substitute that provides the MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (U.S. Patent No. 5,132,113) a unique pattern of essential amino acids in a highly purified, free, crystalline form.
MAP™ is indicated as a safe and effective substitute for dietary proteins.
It has been clinically proven that the use of MAP™ provides a faster and more effective muscle recovery after physical activity. This may enable physical activity to be resumed sooner, with reduced soreness. This may be due to the combined action of MAP’s unique Body Protein Synthesis (BPS)/min in conjunction with a reduced level of lactic acid (lactate) in the bloodstream.
Why, may the use of MAP™ be nutritionally more effective than dietary proteins or protein supplements?
MAP™ provides a 99% Net Nitrogen Utilization® (NNU®).
This means that 99% of MAP’s constituent amino acids act as precursors for BPS to become body’s constituent proteins. By comparison, the most nutritious dietary proteins, such as meat, fish or poultry provide an average of 32% NNU®. Consequently, only 32% of their constituent amino acids can act as precursors for BPS. Meanwhile, most protein supplements only provide an average of 16% NNU®, because they use milk, soy, casein or whey as their primary protein source. As a result, only 16% of their constituent amino acids act as precursors for BPS. Therefore, dietary proteins provide a BPS that is at least 3 times lower, compared to MAP™. While, protein supplements provide a BPS that is at least 6 times lower, compared to MAP™.
MAP™ is absorbed in the small intestine within 23 minutes from its ingestion.
By comparison, dietary proteins and protein supplements need from 3 to 6 hours to be digested. This is 6 to 12 times longer compared to MAP™. By knowing a protein’s NNU® (%) and its digestion time (min), a protein’s BPS/min ratio can be calculated.
MAP™ BPS/min is 99% NNU®/ 23 min.
By comparison the most nutritious dietary proteins have a BPS/min of 32% NNU®/180-360 min. This means that the BPS/min of dietary proteins is 24 to 48 times lower compared to MAP™. Meanwhile, protein supplements have a BPS/min of 16% NNU®/180-360 minutes. This means that the BPS/min ratio of protein supplements is 48 to 96 times lower compared to MAP™.
Why, may the use of MAP™ be safer and more convenient than dietary proteins or protein supplements?
MAP™ releases only 1% nitrogen catabolites, namely metabolic toxic waste.
By comparison, dietary proteins and protein supplements release an average of 68-84% nitrogen catabolites. This is 68 to 84 times more metabolic toxic waste compared to MAP™. Therefore by taking MAP™ in substitution of dietary proteins or protein supplements, overloading of the liver and kidney functions may be prevented. People with compromised digestive and detoxification systems would find this very useful – and the benefits are often obviously felt.
MAP™ is absorbed in the small intestine within 23 minutes from its ingestion.
By comparison, dietary proteins and protein supplements need from 3 to 6 hours to be digested. This is 6 to 12 times longer compared to MAP™. Therefore, by taking MAP™ during physical activity in substitution of dietary proteins or protein supplements: • Additional weight of dietary proteins in the process of digestion may be avoided. As a result, physical activity may be performed with a lighter body weight. Thus, physical performance may be improved. • Furthermore, the blood supply required to digest dietary proteins may be avoided. As result, the blood supply necessary during physical activity may be optimized. Thus, physical performance may be improved.
MAP™ provides only 0.04 Kcal/g.
Therefore by taking MAP™ in substitution of dietary proteins or protein supplements, unwanted calories may be avoided. It is a perfect complement for vegan/vegetarian type diets with low protein, especially when some are sensitive to nuts, seeds, beans and lentils (which is getting more prevalent today!). Also, it is perfect for any diet, including ketogenic type diets as it provides positive nitrogen ratios in the body for those looking to preserve muscle mass – without added calories from typical protein-rich meals.
MAP™ does not produce any fecal residue.
Therefore by taking MAP™ in substitution of dietary proteins or protein supplements, unwanted diarrhea episodes may be avoided or reduced. Worse still mwe need not deal with toxins, indigestion, food intolerances, contamination.
MAP™ is amphoteric.
This means that MAP™ can act either as an acid or a base. Therefore, MAP™ use is not contraindicated in conditions such as gastric ulcers.
MAP™ in contrast with any dietary protein or protein supplement is:
100% sodium free. Which may help to control sodium intake.
100% fat free. Which may help to control fat intake.
100 % sugar free. Which may help to control sugar intake.
As a dietary supplement: 5 tablets daily
As an exercise aid: Take 5 to 10 tablets 30 minutes prior to physical activity, or as directed by a health professional.
