1. Q: Why is MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® the most nutritious in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula?
In 1992, the publicatión of clínical comparatives studies of Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU) conducted in human subjects1-4, has shown and confirmed that MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® 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 proteín, protein supplement or amino ácids fórmula.
2. Q: How was 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 lead by Prof. Dr. Maurizio Lucà-Moretti®.

8. Q: Is any ingredient of MAP® made or derived from animal sources?
No. None of MAP® ingredients, is made or derives from animal sources.
9. Q: How long does it take to digest MAP®?
MAP® is digested within 23 minutes from its oral ingestion.
10. Q: Is MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® better absorbed in tablet or powder form?
Master Amino Acid Pattern® 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's shelf life?
MAP's shelf life is three years.
12. Q: Does MAP® need to be refrigerated?
