Master Amino Acid Pattern is the unparalleled, unique amino acid formula discovered by the International Nutrition Research Center, a leading American research institution in the field of human nutrition lead by Prof. Dr. Maurizio Luca Moretti. In recognition of Master Amino Acid Patterns originality and unprecedented nutritional effectiveness, patents have been granted by the United States, the European Union, Canada and Japan. Since 1992, the results of forty-six scientific clinical studies, performed in human subjects, have shown that Master Amino Acid Pattern can substitute dietary proteins in a safer and nutritionally more effective way. Clinical studies have shown the use of Master Amino Acid Pattern to be: (a) the most nutritious; (b) the safest; (c) the one that provides the lowest amount of calories; and (d) the one that can provide a faster, lighter and easier digestion in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid supplement. Comparative, double-blind, triple and quintuple crossover clinical studies have shown that MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern provides an unprecedented 99% Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU). This means that 99% of its constituent amino acids act as building blocks, for Body Proteins Synthesis (BPS), thus becoming bodys constituent proteins. By comparison, an average of 32% of the constituent amino acids of dietary proteins from meat, poultry, fish, or egg can act as building blocks. Only an average of 16% of the constituent amino acids of dietary proteins, from whey, casein, soy or egg white can act as building blocks. Other amino acid formulas, including branched-chain amino acids, may have as low as 0% of the constituent amino acids act as building blocks. As a result, Master Amino Acid Pattern can provide a minimum of 3 to 6 times more building blocks, for BPS, in comparison to any high biological value dietary protein, protein or amino acid supplement.
