Greetings,
For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the
season home stretch is in full swing. Ironman Hawaii
is just around the corner and I know many of you will
be there. We'll see you there too. Please come up to
the booth and say hello. One needs adequate protein
multiple times a day. If not the body will pirate its
own structure to get it. See below for the reasons
why. Train safely!

| "Enjoying training and racing more than ever" |

"Well, the season is winding down and what a
difference a year makes! Last year: nagging injuries,
slogging through training, and racing with medicine to
mask the pain.
"This year, with the help of MAP, I
am enjoying training and racing more than ever. The
results are also much better: 3rd at Florida Half
Ironman, 1st in the US Half Marathon, 2nd at
Eagleman, and 2nd overall at the South Carolina Half
Ironman. I'm looking forward to Kona where BB will be
an important part of my race nutrition."

| Why Do We Need Protein? Is My Diet Enough? |
|
Since most of the body's proteins are continually
broken down, the body needs to manufacture
thousands of proteins every day to replace them.
The body uses the amino acids obtained from dietary
protein or amino acid supplements to build the body's
proteins, which become the structural foundation of
the body and the molecules that sustain life.
Amino acids that cannot be made by the body are
called essential amino acids and must be
obtained from . . .

| Are toxins keeping you from being your best? |
|
Athletes put high demands on their bodies to go
faster, jump higher, and lift more. Two very important
factors must be considered so that their genetic
endowment can be maximized:
- Nutrition is the most important factor. Adequate
nutrients must be available to build tissues and
organs as well as to provide fuel for energy.
- Toxic influences in the environment must also
be
constantly removed so the body's tissues are not
contaminated by heavy metals and chemicals. These
factors actually block enzymes needed for the body
to make energy and protein. When the body is under
toxic stress, it will not perform or recover properly.
Fatigue, lack of energy, inability to recovery, or injury
result.

Can You Cross a Desert Solely on MAP? |
|
|
|
The following study, "Results of Taking MAP as a
Sole and Total Substitute of Dietary Proteins in an
Athlete during a Desert Crossing," was published in
the medical journal Advances in Therapy (Vol
20, No. 4 July/August 2003).
It belies common sense that an athlete walking 344
miles in 24 days, across desert sands, and carrying a
48 pound backpack would need a lot of protein to
keep the body running efficiently.
I would not have believed that only 8 tablets of
amino acids would be able to keep the athlete in
positive nitrogen balance.
But, because of the remarkable efficacy of
MAP as a protein source,
this study documents the body fat changes,
physiologic changes, and metabolic parameters in an
athlete, before and after crossing the Taklimakan
Desert* in China while taking MAP as a sole and
total substitute for dietary protein.
The subject was a healthy 51 year old white female
who walked across the Taklimakan Desert, a distance
of 344 miles in 24 days.
During the crossing, weather conditions were
extremely variable, with temperatures ranging from -5
degrees centigrade at night to 30 degrees centigrade
during the day.
The desert terrain presented
continuous slopes due to the shifting dunes. The
subject carried a knapsack weighing approximately 48
pounds.
