Arsenic, DDT, and Mercury – It's What's for Dinner

Athletes and Master Amino Acid Pattern (MAP)

With the craziness that is going on in Major League Baseball, where the record breakers have been taking “vitamins” laced with anabolic steroid drugs, athletes are bound to be very questioning about what is in their products? Are illegal drugs hidden in anything that I am taking?

MAP is pure pharmaceutical grade (highest purity) amino acids and NOTHING ELSE.

Of course, drugs never build up the body or improve health for the long term. Often many of them, including such common remedies as Advil and Tylenol, while reducing pain, actually damage the cartilage, kidney, liver and intestines with frequent use.

The human body is the most complex machine ever assembled. It does require relatively few substances to function optimally. The more intense the activity, the more it requires replacement of vitamins, minerals, essential fats, and amino acids.

When MAP is used as protein therapy, there are a couple of other elements needed for the body to use it optimally. I wanted to mention these so that you can make sure your bases are covered.

First is Magnesium. Over two hundred body enzyme reactions require Magnesium to occur properly. These enzyme reactions are absolutely essential for all cells in the body. Remember, the average American diet only provides 40% of the Magnesium a person needs in a day.

So it is estimated that 80% of people walking around ARE Magnesium deficient already. Lack of Magnesium can lead to everything from high blood pressure, to constipation, to headaches, to high cholesterol, to heart attacks, to muscle spasm and fatigue. Not only that Magnesium is the mineral lost in the greatest amounts in the sweat. Calcium and Zinc are the next most lost.

One must increase his Magnesium intake to perform at his best.

Personally, I take a nightly cocktail of a Magnesium and Calcium mixture made by Nutrina, called CALMAC. It is a 1:1 ratio of Calcium and Magnesium and Vitamin C. I take a heaping tablespoon as a nightcap, and that gives me about 600 mg of each mineral and 500 mg of Vitamin C. It's relaxing and keeps the bowels normal, too.

Start out with a teaspoon and work your way up. If you are getting a loose stool, you took too much. For many a twice a day dose may be required to make up the longstanding deficiency.

Second essential ingredient in energy and protein metabolism is the B vitamins. Make sure that your multiple has adequate amounts. For busy people, B-100 I think is the best, with 100 mg of each B-vitamin.

This added to your MAP program will give you even better results. Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
