1. Q: Why is MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) the most nutritious in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement, or amino acid formula?
In 1992, the publication of clinical comparative studies of Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU) conducted in human subjects1-4, has shown and confirmed that MAP® provides a unique, unprecedented Body Protein Synthesis (BPS = 99%NNU/23 min). That is, the highest Body Protein Synthesis (BPS) in comparison with any dietary protein, protein supplement, or amino acids formula.
2. Q: How was MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) discovered?
The discovery of MAP® has been the result of 23 years of pioneering research made by the International Nutrition Research Center (INRC), a leading U.S.A. research institute in the field of human nutrition led by Prof. Dr. Maurizio Lucà Moretti®.
3. Q: Does MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) comply with the U.S.A. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and labeling regulations?
Yes, MAP® complies with the U.S.A. FDA’s regulations.
4. Q: What is the recommended use of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®)?
The use of MAP® is recommended as the most nutritious and most health-preserving substitute for dietary proteins, proteins supplements, or amino acids formulas.
5. Q: What is the composition of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®)?
MAP® contains the MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern®, the proprietary, unique pattern of essential amino acids described in the U.S.A. Patent No. 5,132,113, in a highly purified, free, crystalline form. MAP® is a safe, 100% natural product, made 100% in the U.S.A.
6. Q: What are Essential Amino Acids?
Essential Amino Acids are those nutrients indispensable for human life because they cannot be synthesized within the human body. As a result, they must be supplied through the diet.
7. Q: Is MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) a natural product?
Yes, MAP® is a safe, 100% natural product, made 100% in the U.S.A.
8. Q: Is any ingredient of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) made or derived from animal sources?
No. None of the MAP® ingredients is made or derived from animal sources.
9. Q: How long does it take to digest MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®)?
MAP® is digested within 23 minutes after its oral ingestion.
10. Q: Is MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) better absorbed in tablet or powder form?
MAP® can be easily absorbed in either tablet or powder form. However, before taking MAP® or other dietary supplements, always consult your physician.
11. Q: How long is MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®)'s shelf life?
MAP®'s shelf life is three years.
12. Q: Does MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) need to be refrigerated?
No. MAP® does not need to be refrigerated. However, it should be kept in a dry and cool place at 77°F (25°C). If the required storage conditions are not met MAP® tablets’ odor or color may vary.
13. Q: Can the MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) be altered by high temperatures?
MAP® can be altered only through extremely high temperatures above 536°F (280°C). Therefore, normal cooking, baking, and boiling temperatures do not alter the nutritional value of MAP®.
14. Q: How many kcal/g does MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) provide?
Clinical studies results have shown that MAP® provides only 0.04 kcal/g. By comparison, dietary proteins, protein supplements, or amino acids formula provide 4.00 kcal/g. That is, 99 times more kcal/g in comparison to MAP®.
15. Q: Is MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) acidic or basic?
MAP® is amphoteric, which means it can act either as an acid or a base in accordance with the pH of the surrounding medium.
16. Q: Does MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) contain any sodium?
MAP®, in contrast with any dietary protein or protein supplement, is 100% sodium-free.
17. Q: Does MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) contain any fat?
MAP®, in contrast with any dietary protein or protein supplement, is 100% fat-free.
18. Q: Does MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) contain any sugar?
MAP®, in contrast with any dietary protein or protein supplement, is 100% sugar-free and carbohydrate-free.
19. Q: Does MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) produce fecal residue?
MAP®, in contrast with any dietary protein or protein supplement, does not produce any fecal residue.
20. Q: Does MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) have any drug or food interaction?
No. MAP® does not have any drug or food interaction. However, before taking MAP® or other dietary supplements, consult your physician.
21. Q: Can MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) cause any adverse reactions?
No adverse reactions have ever been reported. However, before taking MAP® or any dietary supplement, consult your physician.
22. Q: Does MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) have any contraindications?
No. The use of MAP® does not have any contraindications. However, before using MAP® or any dietary supplement, consult your physician.
23. Q: Is MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®) considered a medicine?
No. MAP® is not a medicine. It is a dietary supplement.
24. Q: What is the daily recommended dosage of MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®)?
Ask your health practitioner. Consult your physician.
25. Q: May protein supplements be taken with MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (MAP®)?
No. Protein supplements should not be taken in conjunction with MAP®, to prevent:
- a decrease in Body Protein Synthesis;
- an increase in nitrogen catabolites (BUN), which is a metabolic toxic waste; and
- an overloading of digestive functions.
