Take MAP® & be a Healthy Champion!

    Since 1992, published clinical studies1-5,8-10,16,37,38 have shown and confirmed that the use of the original MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern®, during and after physical activity:
    • Provides a faster and better muscle mass growth, muscle strength and muscle endurance;
    • Provides a faster and better muscle recovery; and
    • Provides a shorter and lighter digestion;
    in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

    Take MAP® & go the extra mile!

    What is MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern®?

    MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® is the unparalleled, unique, proprietary  amino acid formula discovered by the International Nutrition Research Center, a leading American research institution in the field of human nutrition lead by Prof. Dr. Maurizio Luca Moretti®.

    In recognition of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern®’s originality and unprecedented nutritional effectiveness, patents have been granted by the United States, Canada, Japan, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.

    Since 1992, the scientific evidence proceeding from forty-five published scientific clinical studies1-45, performed in human subjects, has shown and confirmed that the use of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® is:

    • the most nutritious and the most health preserving;
    • the only one to be digested in less than 23 min. That is, the shortest digestion time ever;
    • the only one that releases only 1% of nitrogen catabolites. That is, the lowest amount of catabolic toxic waste ever;
    • the only one that provides only 0.04 kcal/g. That is, the lowest amount of kcal/g ever.

    in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

    Take MAP® & the sky is the limit!

    Why is MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® the most nutritious in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula?

    Forty-five published comparative clinical studies performed in human subjects1-45 have shown and confirmed that the use of  MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® is:

    • the most nutritious and the most health-preserving

    in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

    To illustrate:

    1. MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® provides a unique, unprecedented, Body Protein Synthesis (BPS = 99%NNU/23min), namely the highest in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

    Comparative clinical Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU) studies, performed in human subjects1-4, have shown and confirmed that the use of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® provides an unprecedented and unique BPS = 99%NNU/23 min*. On the contrary, dietary proteins provide a BPS of 16-32% NNU/180-360 min. That is, a BPS/min 24 to 96 times lower compared to that of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern®. As a result, it can be concluded that  MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® provides a BPS that is 24 to 96 times higher in comparison to that provided by any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

    *To illustrate: the Body Protein Synthesis (BPS = %NNU/min), is the scientific index that defines a specific dietary protein nutritional value. Therefore, the higher a dietary protein BPS = %NNU/min, the higher its nutritional value, and vice versa.
    Considering the scientific evidence1-4 previously described, it can be concluded that MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® is the most nutritious in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

    2. MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® requires less than 23 minutes to be digested. That is, the shortest digestion time required in comparison to that of any dietary protein or protein supplement.

    Comparative clinical studies performed in human subjects1-4 have shown that MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® requires less than 23 minutes to be digested. On the contrary, dietary proteins require a digestion time of 180 to 360 minutes (3 to 6 hours). That is, a digestion time 6 to 12 times longer in comparison to that required by MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern®. As a result, it can be concluded that MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® requires a digestion time that is 6 to 12 times shorter in comparison to that of any dietary protein or protein supplement.

    Considering the scientific evidence1-4 previously described, it can be concluded and confirmed that the use of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® is the most nutritious in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

    Why is the use of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® the most health-preserving in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula?

    3. The use of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® releases only 1% nitrogen catabolites, namely metabolic toxic waste. That is, the lowest amount of nitrogen catabolites ever released, in comparison to that of any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

    Comparative clinical studies performed in human subjects1-4 have shown that the use of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® releases only 1% nitrogen catabolites. In contrast, dietary proteins, during digestion, release 68 to 84% nitrogen catabolites. That is, 67 to 83 times more toxic metabolic waste, to be catabolized through the hepatic and renal function. As a result, it can be concluded that the use of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® releases 67 to 83 times less nitrogen catabolites, meaning metabolic toxic waste, in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.
    Considering the scientific evidence1-4 previously described, it can be concluded that the use of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® is the safest and therefore the most health-preserving in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

    4. The use of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® provides only 0.04 kcal/g. That is, the lowest amount of kcal/g in comparison to that provided by any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

    Comparative clinical studies performed in human subjects1-4 have shown that the use of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® provides only 0.04 kcal/g. In contrast, dietary proteins, provide 4 kcal/g. That is, 99 times more kilocalories per gram in comparison to those provided by MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern®. As a result, it can be concluded that MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® provides 99 times less kilocalories per gram in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.
    Considering the scientific evidence1-4 previously described, it can be concluded again and also confirmed that the use of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern ® is the safest and therefore the most health-preserving in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

    5. As a result, of the previously described unique characteristics, the use of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern®, in substitution for dietary proteins, can significantly reduce or minimize renal, hepatic, pancreatic, digestive, cardiovascular and/or respiratory load, in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

    Considering the scientific evidence1-45 previously described it can be concluded and confirmed again that the use of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® is the most nutritious and the most health-preserving in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.
