Greetings,
Many MAP users know that MAP helps their body recover rapidly from workouts and injuries, but did you know that MAP can help boost your energy levels too? Many executives, office workers, and super moms take MAP because it gives them added energy to zip through the day.

| "I have gotten more energy from using MAP..." |
 |
"I have been taking MAP for one month now,
and I've gotten more energy from using
MAP than I've ever had before. I also had pain in
my legs and now I don't feel the pain as much as I
did before taking the MAP tablets. I work in an
office all day and find MAP really helps me get
through the day. Thanks!"

| The Importance of Taking MAP After an Event |
|
I've come to appreciate the significance of
taking MAP within 20 minutes of finishing an
event. It really works best as you recommended. I
made the mistake of waiting 4 hours and it really
didn't have the complete effect on my recovery. So I
keep my bottles in my bag at the transition with
some Gatorade and drink it as soon as I am done.
I've had a great season, thanks to all the right things
and MAP. Recently I did a Half Ironman Triathlon
at Lake Anna in Virginia. We won the COED division. I
was the running leg of the event and kept my splits
pretty close. I really had to push myself in the end
but I felt good, real good in the end. We won by 2
minutes. I am working on getting my teammates on
MAP before next year. Thanks again for an
incentive to work hard.

| What Quality of Protein Are You Consuming? |
|
There is much debate among athletes and
nutritionists about how to optimize protein nutrition.
When proteins (or amino acids) are eaten, the body
can utilize them to make new body proteins, or it can
use such proteins for energy. When we speak of the
quality of a protein, we are talking about how close
that protein is in amino acid composition to an ideal
protein.
What is the ideal protein? It is the protein that would
be completely used by the body for protein structure
and not for calories for fuel. The term NNU reflects
the Net Nitrogen Utilization that ends up as protein in
the body. This is the actual protein made into body
structure and not used for...

| Sleep Deprivation |
|
Did you know that sleep deprivation impairs
healing? Remember that during hard training, getting
enough sleep is very important. Most of us have our
plates full and may skimp on Z time. Not a good idea.
Every person needs a different amount of sleep, but
you should wake up refreshed and feel rested.
Probably that is in the neighborhood of 7-11 hours
per night. A nap too is a great idea. Plan for it!

| FAQ: Does MAP Contain Any Illegal Substances? |
|
|
Perhaps you saw the allegations against Olympic
Gold Medallist Tyler Hamilton about using illegal
substances. With all the craziness going on, 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. There are no
drugs of any kind in MAP.
Drugs never build up the body or improve health in
the long term. Often many drugs, including such
common ones as Advil and Tylenol, while reducing
pain, actually damage the cartilage, kidney, liver, and
intestines with frequent use.

Why Add Magnesium and Vitamin B to Your Diet? |
|
|
|
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 want to mention these so that you
can make sure your bases are covered.
Magnesium
The 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
actually magnesium deficient already.
Lack of magnesium can lead to everything from high
blood pressure to constipation, headaches, high
cholesterol, heart attacks, muscle spasm, and
fatigue. Not only that, but magnesium is also the
mineral lost in the greatest amounts in the sweat.
Calcium and zinc are the next most lost minerals.
You must increase your magnesium intake to perform
at your best. Personally, I take a nightly cocktail of a
Magnesium 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...
