Master Aminos® (MAP®) is a patented dietary proteins substitute, which
provides a unique pattern of essential amino acids, in a highly
purified, free, crystalline form. After oral ingestion, Master Aminos®
is rapidly utilized. Master Aminos® does not require the aid of
peptidases and therefore, it is absorbed, within 23 minutes, through
the first 100 cm of functional small intestine. Master Aminos® does not
provide any fecal residue. Master Aminos® is amphoteric. Master Aminos®
is supplied in tablets of 1,000 mg for oral administration. Each tablet
of Master Aminos®, in addition to the active ingredient MAP®, contains
no inactive ingredients.
CLINICAL STUDIES
The results of a comparative, double-blind, triple crossover Net
Nitrogen Utilization (NNU) clinical study have shown that the subjects,
while taking MAP®, as a dietary proteins substitute, achieved a body’s
99% NNU. This means that 99% of MAP’s constituent amino acids followed
the anabolic pathway, thus acting as precursor of body’s protein
synthesis. By comparison, dietary proteins only provide between 16 to
48% NNU. This fact evidences that MAP is more nutritious than dietary
proteins. This has been confirmed by the fact that during the study,
each subject body’s nitrogen balance was maintained in equilibrium by
taking MAP, as a sole and total substitute of dietary proteins, in a
dosage of only 400 mg/kg/day, which provided less than 2 kcal/day (1g
MAP= 0.04 Kcal). The study results have also shown that 1% of MAP’s
constituent amino acids followed the catabolic pathway, thus releasing
only 1% of nitrogen catabolites and energy. By comparison dietary
proteins release between 52% to 84% nitrogen catabolites and energy.
This fact evidences that MAP is safer than dietary proteins, and that
provides the lowest amount of energy in comparison to any dietary
protein.
