FORMULA for Health




How To Use

  The Best Amino Formula: a perfect product (long page, keep scrolling down)

MAP ® SON Formula ®

This Patented Formula is the Master Pattern of a balanced formulation of 8 essential amino acids, derived from vegetable sources, in pre-digested form for maximum absorption & utilization. 

"Pre-digested" means the Formula does not follow the normal route through the intestines: it is absorbed into the lymph system. Thus, the Formula produces no fecal residue. This fact also means the liver & kidneys do not have to clear metabolic waste that comes with the digestion of normal dietary protein.

The Essential Amino Acids are: L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine, L-Lysine, L-Methionine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Threonine, L-Tryptophan, L-Valine.

If your diet is deficient in the Essential Amino Acids, you can now safely provide these with this Formula.

The MOST nutrifying protein substitute is also the SAFEST, MAP Formula.


Because it is PREDIGESTED, here's why it is important:
• it is 100% Dietary Protein!
• has Net Nitrogen Utilization of 99%!
• has only 1% Nitrogen Catabolite (waste)!
• it is available to the body within 23 minutes of ingestion (NOTE: after 23 mins. body protein synthesis takes another 2 hrs; therefore, NO other protein should be taken within 2 - 3 hrs. of taking MAP/SON.),
• Nutrifying of cells begins almost immediately (whereas, 1lb of red meat takes 3 - 5 hrs to digest).

MAP ® SON Formula ®

This Formula is a balanced formulation of 8 essential amino acids, and provides the essential amino acids that must be obtained from food because the body cannot make them (non-essential amino acids are synthesized by the body). They are essential because they are needed to make protein for muscle and all body tissue.

***The Formula supplement can be used for different purposes: For strength building and muscle mass enhancement; As nutrition for people who need more & better protein; As part of a weight control program.

Because it is pre-digested, it is available to the body within 23 minutes of ingestion, provided no competing protein has been ingested with it because this Formula does not function in tandem with other protein; digestion of other protein shifts metabolism away from MAP to the process of breaking down dietary protein. To be noted is the fact that dietary protein takes anywhere from 2 - 4 hours before it is available to the body for use as building blocks for our own cells.

Non-protein can be taken with MAP: carbs & fats.

Protein Substitute

Research indicates that our selection of the right kind of protein is innate: our built-in "Survival engine" has a "Protein Detector". Like all other animals, we humans know instinctively what food to avoid for lack of protein and which food to eat for sufficient protein. This ability has evolved over the millennia.

Protein is the raw material of cellular activity; it is made up of strings of Amino Acids. There are 20+ of these acids: but 8 of these must be obtained from food sources (essential amino acids). They are so essential that a drop in a steady supply through diet will force the body to feed on its own tissue for nourishment! They cannot be stored and the body cannot make them: you HAVE to eat (ingest) them.

Your body tells you which food to eat for protein and which to reject when you need protein. The feeding habits of lower animals demonstrate this best; they will eat/drink the foulest tasting stuff to get at what they need to avoid nutritional disaster.

But for humans, this Protein Detection can sometimes be overridden: by addictions. Not all cravings are addictions; you may simply be craving protein that is lacking. For example: chocolate is loaded with amino acids; maybe that is why you might crave it, especially if your diet is overloaded with carbohydrates & fats.

Addictions will mess with your Protein Detector, which is why addicted persons suffer from poor nutrition or develop deleterious conditions. It is also why when you stop smoking, you gain weight: your Detector is adjusting itself and indicates that protein is lacking (but then you might stuff yourself with carbs instead).

If your diet is deficient in the Essential Amino Acids, you can now safely provide these with MAP/SON Formula.

The Essential Amino Acids are: L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine, L-Lysine, L-Methionine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Threonine, L-Tryptophan, L-Valine.

If your diet is deficient in the Essential Amino Acids, you can now safely provide these with MAP/SON Formula.

They are essential because humans can only obtain them from dietary protein (or supplementation).

L-Phenylalanine
 Food sources: beef, chicken, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, milk and other protein.  Acts as the parent molecule for hormones known as, neurotransmitters (which relay brain messages from nerve cell to nerve cell throughout the body).  Phenylalanine in partnership with Tyrosine are particularly useful as part of weight control.

L-Tryptophan
 Parent molecule for absorption of zinc (which maintains skin & muscle tone, lung elasticity & enzyme production), but most of all creates neurotransmitter, serotonin (which calms, relaxes & induces sleep)

L-Methionine
 Found in most diary products and meat (low in vegetables & legumes, which is why vegetarians benefits from Methionine supplementation), should be taken with magnesium.  An excellent chelator for heavy metals

L-Lysine
 Found mostly in meat & dairy products.  Required for the formation of collagen, cartilage & connective tissue and is a carrier molecule for calcium.  Lysine suppresses herpes.  One of 3 branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) with Leucine & Valine, it metabolizes in the muscles rather than in the liver.  The three are found in nuts & seeds.

L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine, L-Valine
 Should be taken as a group of BCAA and are important for muscle & skeletal health; they produce muscle energy under stress.  Leucine helps stop muscle-wasting (especially in the elderly).  When there is a deficiency of this group, the body is “worn out” and there is a loss of muscle mass & bone density.

L-Threonine
 A precursor to brain Glycine (non-essential amino), it is needed for proper digestion & intestinal tract function.  A deficiency causes immune system suppression.  Food sources include meat, wheat germ, cottage & ricotta cheese.

 Hybrid: Histidine
  L-Histidine is considered essential & non-essential at different chronological ages.  Dietary requirement for Histidine is high in infancy & childhood, but less in adulthood.  The body can make it in the liver from Glutamic Acid and Carnosine.  Histidine is abundant in hemoglobin and is needed for growth & repair of tissue.  Food sources are meat, wheat germ, ricotta & cottage cheese.  WARNING: Excess Histidine is linked with psychiatric disorders, while low levels are linked to auto-immune disorders.

 SON Formula/MAP does not contain, Histidine, a non-essential amino acid.  Beware imitation products that include it as essential.

 Co-Factors
  These are nutrients needed to aid amino acid absorption & metabolism.  The principal ones are: vitamin B6 and Magnesium.

 SOME Individual NON-Essential Aminos 

 They are non-essential because our body is able to make them from other amino acids.  They can also be supplied by food & supplements.  The following is a partial list.

 NOTE: All amino acids should be taken without food or an empty stomach - MAP can be taken with carbs & fats in small quantities.  Amino acids will compete for absorption (which is why you cannot take food protein with MAP/SON Formula).

L-Tyrosine
Non-essential amino acid synthesized from the essential amino, Phenylalanine, it performs essential functions.  Tyrosine is the Stress amino and also a precursor for Thyroid hormones, and so can enhance memory, reduce blood pressure and can relieve depression more easily that anti-depressants.  Tyrosine is also used to treat addictions. Tyrosine is highly concentrated in muscle tissue, along with Glutamic acid, Lysine, Aspartic acid, Alanine, Valine, Threonine and Leucine.  Best food sources: almonds, avocados, meat, dairy products, fish.

L-Taurine
One of the most abundant aminos in the body, used to detoxify the liver (can be used with Milk Thistle), used to control the excitable tissue of the central nervous system, and often administered to control motor tics, twitches & epileptic seizures.  Can also be used to control angina.  If B6 is present, Taurine can be made from Methionine and cysteine; some zinc must also be present.  Highly concentrated in the heart, it regulates contraction & rhythm; if deficient in cells, it can contribute to arrhythmia.  Taurine is also essential for formation of one of the bile acids & is needed for gallbladder function.  Taurine is considered conditionally essential for adults because stress depletes Taurine in the body and illness may require supplementation and is advised for illness.

L-Cysteine and Cistine
Cysteine will easily convert to Cistine & vice versa.  It is a chelator & helps eliminate excess copper.  It is used as an anti-wrinkle agent & protects against the ill effects of alcohol.  It also breaks down mucus & can be used for bronchitis & cystic fibrosis.  Cysteine is considered conditionally essential; a deficiency causes malabsorption of B6.  Take vitamin C with Cysteine (without it, Cistine forms).  Supplementation with NAC (N-Acytel Cysteine) is recommended (acytelization speeds absorption).  Diabetics should not supplement with Cysteine (raises glucose levels).

L-Arginine
An immune stimulator also important for tissue generation & regeneration, this amino is most highly concentrated in the skin & connective tissue.  While Lysine suppresses herpes virus, Arginine stimulates it; therefore, take Lysine when using Arginine or using Ornithine instead of Arginine.  Both Arginine & Ornithine are very beneficial; each is an excellent healing mechanism after injury (the body can’t make them fast enough, so supplement).  Arginine is also considered a growth hormone precursor and may stimulate sperm production.  Arginine is found in food protein (meat, nuts, eggs, milk & cheese) and is excellent for muscle.  It stimulates Nitric Oxide production (NO is found in all body cells) and aids in maintaining the male erection.  Can also be combined with Glutamine, Ornithine & Lysine.

L-Glutamic Acid
Prominent in wheat & used for the metabolism of fats & sugars, it combines with ammonia in the brain to produce Glutamine “brain fuel”, and will also produce an inhibitory neurotransmitter, gamma-aminobutryc acid (GABA) that has a soothing effect.  GA also helps raise blood sugar in hypoglycemics and may stifle sweet cravings.  Aids digestion; food sources are meat, yohgurt.

L-Carnitine
This dipeptide is a product of Methionine & Lysine.  It provides energy in the form of fat to be burned by body cells, thereby increasing the body’s efficiency at certain tasks requiring energy (e.g., sex & weight-lifting).  By reducing fat, Carnitine helps prevent heart disease & helps weight control.  Effective utilization of essential fatty acids depends on a good supply of Carnitine.  L-Carnitine works synergistically with CoQ10. Used to control Congestive Heart Failure.

L-Proline
Important for collagen production, Proline makes up 25% of collagen protein, but vitamin C must be present.  The body will make Proline from Ornithine & Glutamic Acid; if necessary, the body can re-convert Proline to Ornithine.  Meat, cottage & ricotta cheese, wheat germ & eggs are a good sources.  Excess levels, however, can be related to cirrhosis, seizures & depression.

L-Glycine
Needed for the production of collagen, Glycine is also needed for the elimination of body cellular wastes; if you are a coffee drinker, your body needs Glycine to excrete waste by-products & prevent cell damage.  Glycine is also needed for DNA. And the formation of liver detoxifying compounds (e.g., Glutathione) needs Glycine, which also aids digestion & has a calming effect when combined with GABA & Glutamine.  Glycine decreases sugar craving; its simple molecular structure makes it sweet tasting (can be used as a sweetener).  Meats & wheat germ are high sources of Glycine.

L-Glutamine
A non-essential amino also considered conditionally essential, Glutamine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that easily crosses the blood-brain barrier.  Its most important job is to strengthen the immune system by supporting the multiplication of selected white cells.  Glutamine is also extremely important as fuel for cells lining the colon; therefore, the main nutrient needed for intestinal repair is Glutamine (e.g., for Leaky Gut Syndrome) and it works by making the intestine less permeable.  Also considered a growth hormone stimulator, Glutamine, GABA & Glycine are now considered the most important therapeutic amino acids.  Take B6 or B-Complex with Glutamine; foods are low sources of this amino (raw meat & raw eggs; heat destroys Glutamine).  Supplements come in capsules & powder (powder must be used in cool or room-temperature liquids).

GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid)

The most widely distributed neurotransmitter in the brain, GABA plays a vital inhibitory role in the brain.  Together with Glutamine & Glycine, GABA is vital for brain energy. Like all amino acids, GABA should be taken with Magnesium & B6.  These latter are
Co-Factors, nutrients needed to help amino acid absorption & metabolism.  The principal ones are: B6 and Magnesium.
