MAP™ Characteristics
Why, may the use of MAP™ be nutritionally more effective than dietary proteins or protein supplements?
1. MAP™ provides a 99% Net Nitrogen Utilization® (NNU®).
2. MAP™ is absorbed in the small intestine within 23 minutes from its ingestion.
3. MAP™ BPS/min is 99% NNU®/ 23 min.

Why, may the use of MAP™ be safer and more convenient, during physical activity, than dietary proteins or protein supplements?
1. MAP™ releases only 1% nitrogen catabolites, namely metabolic toxic waste.
2. MAP™ is absorbed in the small intestine within 23 minutes from its ingestion.
3. MAP™ provides only 0.04 Kcal/g.
4. MAP™ does not produce any fecal residue.
5. MAP™ is amphoteric.
6. MAP™ in contrast with any dietary protein or protein supplement is:

Over Dosage
No adverse reactions have been ever reported.
Dosage & Administration
Notice: Individual dosage may vary according to nutritional status, age, gender, and the intensity and frequency of physical activity.
Suggested use for non-athletes:
5 tablets a day (or as directed by a health professional) to be taken during a meal.
Suggested use for athletes:
• For the amateur athlete: 5 to 10 tablets of MAP™, 30-45 minutes before physical activity, in conjunction with the daily requirement of vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
• For the professional athlete: 10 tablets of MAP™, 30-45 minutes before physical activity, in conjunction with the daily requirement of vitamins, minerals and trace elements. And an additional 10 tablets of MAP™ to be taken during the next meal (lunch or dinner).
If taking more than 10 tablets per day, increase dosage gradually. (No more than 10 tablets should be taken within a two hour period).
To calculate the required MAP™ dosage to substitute dietary proteins apply the following equation:
Clinical studies have shown that MAP™ in a dosage of 400mg/kg/day (ideal weight) has been shown to be adequate as a sole and total substitute of dietary proteins to maintain the body’s nitrogen balance in equilibrium. Therefore, to calculate the dosage of MAP™ required to substitute dietary proteins, apply the following equation:
For instance, to calculate the dosage of MAP™ necessary to substitute 10 g of dietary proteins, proceed as follows:
- MAP™ dosage = (Dietary Proteins x 0.4) g
- MAP™ dosage = (10 x 0.4) g
- MAP™ dosage = 4 g
Therefore, 4 g (4 tablets) of MAP™ provide a body’s protein synthesis (BPS) equivalent to that provided by at least 10 g of the most nutritious dietary protein.
How Supplied
MAP™ is supplied in bottles of 100 tablets of 1000 mg for oral administration.
