Product Information
Amino Acid Injection
Muscles need amino acids to rebuild and grow.
Maximum Absorbed Protein (MAP) is the best way to get amino acids to your muscles. MAP delivers amino acids quickly and fully. It's the most efficient way to get them to your muscles, short of injecting.
No other protein or amino acid absorbs better than MAP. (1) The amino acids in MAP are carried right through the stomach walls without any digestion required.
Tiny Peptides -- A Clear Advantage
MAP is 100% pure pre-digested casein protein. This means that the casein protein has been broken down into small peptides of two or three amino acids. The amino acids in MAP absorb better than amino acids in single form (which make up 95% of the amino acid supplements on the market). (1)
When amino acids exist in short peptide form, they are water soluble. In fact, mixing pure MAP in water will result in a completely clear solution. If you mix whey or soy protein in water, you get a cloudy, chalky mix because these long chain proteins are not 100% water soluble.
The water solubility of peptides allows them to pass through the intestinal walls and absorb into the blood stream -
Maximum Absorbed Protein -- High in Leucine
Remember leucine? Leucine is the most important amino acid for increasing protein synthesis in the muscles. (2-4) MAP is one of the best sources of leucine you can take. Let me tell you why.
Each gram of leucine from MAP is absorbed 3x more efficiently than the leucine found in BCAA’s blends. (1) That’s because amino acid blends are single (free form) amino acids, while MAP amino acids are in peptide form.
Just take a look at the comparison below. Peptides are absorbed 2-3x better than free form amino acids or long chain proteins (whole food) -
Start Building Muscle in 30 Minutes
Research clearly shows MAP is the fastest and most fully absorbing protein on the market.
But what does this mean for lean muscle growth?
Taking MAP before exercise causes a rapid increase in amino acid levels in the blood.(6) A recent study showed that maintaining high levels of amino acids during exercise (by consuming MAP 30-60 minutes before exercise) reverses muscular protein breakdown and starts to stimulate the process of “muscle protein synthesis”, during exercise. (8)
MAP actually starts building muscle during your workouts.
Plus, when amino acid levels are elevated during exercise, it actually increases the muscle building potential after exercise. (7)
So in addition to maximizing muscle growth after exercise, supplementation with short chain peptides has been shown to promote recovery of muscle force better than regular whey or casein protein -
Refreshing Fruitiness, minus the Sugar
Besides the fact that MAP is the best source of amino acids, it's also one of the best tasting pre-digested proteins on the market.
To trick the tongue into thinking you are drinking mom's fresh squeezed summer time juice we fortified our MAP with freeze-dried fruit powder, and infused it with natural fruit flavors. To sweeten things up we added precise amounts of stevia and luo han guo extract -- 100% natural non-calorie sweeteners.
All together, this means MAP -
* Absorbs better than standard protein
* Absorbs better than free amino acids
* Enhances recovery & strength better than regular protein
* Increases protein synthesis within 30 minutes
* Low calorie (<52 calories)
* Low carb (<2g carbs)
* Low sugar (<2g sugar)
* 100% natural
Stay Smart
On your path to find a cheaper or superior product, be sure to carefully read the label. Although other products on the market may have “predigested” or “peptide based” protein, they are mostly filled with cheap forms of whey or soy protein and other undesirable fillers (plus loads of artificial sweeteners and colors).
Remember, our MAP is 100% pure hydrolyzed casein (PeptoPro® brand). No fillers. No junk.
Recommended Use:
Mix 1 level scoop (53cc) into 16 oz of cold water.
For best results, consume 1 serving before and 1 serving after intense exercise. Consume up to 6 times daily.
For best flavor, allow drink to sit 10-15 minutes after mixing.
After mixing, consume within a 6 hour period.
So thanks to PP and Trauma, I just got my mango flavored MAP in the mail. Initial thoughts : looks great, smaller sized container similar to intra-aid size.
There's 29 servings, so this log should be just over a month (i will not waste this on a non training day). My general protein intake is about 350g per day. I'm doing a slow recomp, which i expect to take 2 years, and I'm perfectly OK with that. My pre workout shake is 25g protein and 125g carbs, and I do the same thing post workout, so I'll be taking this intra-workout.
And yes, this is one of the very few times I'll do anything in caps
