on the Health Benefits of
Master Amino Acid Pattern®
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.
Clinical studies have shown that the use of MAP™, during physical activity, can substitute dietary proteins or protein supplements
in a safer and nutritionally more efficient way to:
• Optimize Body Protein
Synthesis (BPS)
• Optimize muscle mass
• Optimize muscle strength
• Optimize muscle endurance
• Provide a faster and more
efficient recovery after
physical activity.

Body Protein Synthesis/ minute
MAP ™ BPS/min is 99% NNU/ 23 min. By comparison the most nutritious dietary proteins and protein supplements have BPS/min of 16-32% NNU/180-360 min. This means that the BPS/min of dietary proteins and protein supplements is 24 to 96 times lower compared to MAP ™.
