Greetings,
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 9-11 hours per night. A
nap too is a great idea. Plan for it!
We will be at many major Triathlons and endurance
events this year. Please stop by and say hello. We will
be at the Calfornia Half Ironman, Oceanside, Ca. from
April 1st to 3rd. - David I. Minkoff, MD

"MAP has enabled me to sustain an active
working life, while still being able to race at a
competitive level. On my tight schedule, quality
workouts with optimal recovery are key.
MAP gives me the way to maintain the strength of
my 'muscle memory' from years of training and racing,
without a full time workout schedule, and gives me the
confidence of a strong immune system."
Paula Newby-Fraser - World Champion Triathlete

| Understanding Protein |
|
Amino acids from a dietary protein or an amino acid
supplement are absorbed in the small intestine. Amino
acids that are not used as "building blocks" in the
body's protein synthesis are catabolized and release
nitrogen waste. The percentage of the amino acids in a
dietary protein or an amino acid formula that are used
as "building blocks" represents the nutritional value.

| MAP FAQ's |
|
QUESTION: What's a light day or recreational work out?
How does this differ from a workout lasting up to 4
hours?
ANSWER: A light day is a recovery day. Not long or
hard. Easy.
QUESTION: When I hear things like amino acids and
protein supplements I automatically think steroids and
pro baseball players (McGuire, Bonds) and the like. Is
this product at all similar to what they take and are
there any potential harmful side effects?
ANSWER: MAP is protein nutrition and not a drug.
There are no drugs of any kind and NO steroids. It is
completely clean. MAP is a 100% natural dietary
supplement, which provides a unique pattern of
essential amino acids in a highly purified, free,
crystalline form.

Results of Taking MAP as a Sole and Total
Substitute of Dietary Proteins in an Athlete during a
Desert Crossing
This study was published in the medical journal,
Advances in Therapy
Vol 20, No. 4 July/August
2003).
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.
Her diet consisted of 24 tablets of MAP per day as
the sole protein source along with US recommended
dosages of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, with
carbohydrates, essential fatty acids to an equivalent of
3000 calories per day.
