The Scientific Discovery
In 1971, a group of researchers led by Prof. Maurizio Luca-Moretti began a 15 year investigation of the essential protein requirements of the human body. In a landmark 1998 study(1), Prof. Luca-Moretti discovered the Master Pattern of Essential Amino Acids by analyzing the amount of nitrogen waste secreted from the consumption of dietary proteins. The study proved conclusively that MAP produces less than 1% waste and delivers 99% Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU) to the nucleus of cells for maximum Body Protein Synthesis (BPS).
In a series of clinical trials beginning in 2003, MAP was used as the sole and total substitute for dietary proteins with impressive, statistically-significant results. During track running(2) and a cross-desert endurance walk(3), MAP increased muscle mass, strength and endurance, enhanced cardio-respiratory performance, improved red blood cell counts and hemoglobin parameters, and decreased body fat. As part of a weight-loss diet and in conjunction with a complete dietary strategy(4), MAP prevented muscle catabolism and allowed for mean weight loss of 3lb. per week.
Patent: US Patent #5,132,113 is a unique combination of natural, essential amino acids in a 100% pure, crystalline, free form state. The Master Amino Acid Pattern provides 99% Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU) for maximum Body Protein Synthesis (BPS).
