Frequently Asked Questions

    • MAP® provides the highest Body Protein Synthesis (BPS) compared to any dietary protein, protein or amino acid supplement.

    Clinical published studies have shown that MAP® provides a 99% Net Nitrogen Utilization® (NNU®). This means that 99% of MAP® constituent amino acids act as precursors or “building blocks” for Body Protein Synthesis (BPS), to become body’s constituent proteins. Meanwhile, dietary proteins and protein supplements provide a BPS of 16-32% NNU®. Therefore, dietary proteins and protein supplements provide a BPS 3 to 6 times lower, compared to MAP®.

    • MAP® may minimize both the intensity and duration of digestive functions compared to any dietary protein or protein supplement.

    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 means that dietary proteins and protein supplements digestion period is 6 to 12 times longer compared to MAP®.

    • MAP® provides the highest BPS/min ratio compared to any dietary protein or protein supplement.

    By knowing a protein’s BPS (NNU®) and its digestion time(min), a protein BPS/min ratio can be calculated. Therefore, MAP® BPS/min is equal to 99% NNU®/23 min. By comparison dietary proteins and protein supplements have a BPS/min of 16-32% NNU®/180-360 minutes. This means that the BPS/min of dietary proteins and protein supplements is 24 to 96 times lower compared to MAP®.
