Greetings,
Hello. We were at St. Anthony's Triathlon this week in
St. Petersburg, Florida. It was fun meeting all of you
and hearing about your successes with MAP. Over
3600 athletes participated. Our hats off to the
organizers for a perfect event.
I had a great race too - and got some hardware for a
seventh place in my age group! See you at Wildflower
this weekend! Train safely.- David I. Minkoff, MD
| For the first time I believe that letters of recommendation are true!!! |
 |
I am a 66-year-old triathlete (with 13 years in the
sport). Recently, I attended a Tri Camp in Florida, and
used MAP for the first time that week. I was a bit
nervous about trying something new, so I took only half
the number of tablets recommended. I had a great
week of intensive training - about 30 hours total, 300
miles bike, 7500 meters swim, 25 miles run. This is
about double my usual training week, and I felt full of
energy each day.
A success update:
Today I ran a local "Brookhaven Lab Earth Day" 4 mile
race. I hold the age group record of 44:12 (2003), and
this year I broke my record completing in 38:30 This is
hardly an amazing pace, but it is the best time that I
have ever managed for 4 miles!
Thanks MAP! - S. I.

| Why Do We Need Protein? Is My Diet Enough To Keep Me Optimized? |
|
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.

| How Much MAP Do I Take? |
|
MAP leads to increased muscle strength,
increased bone strength, improved lactic acid
clearance, faster recovery and improved immune
response.
The correct amount of MAP for your body will be
different for each athlete. I put together some
guidelines for people to follow as a suggestion. You may
be able to get away with less depending on your time
and intensity of training and your dietary habits. Click

| Female Athletes Have 2-10 Times the Injury Rate as Males |
 |
|
I was surprised to learn that the latest research reveals
that female athletes spend $646 million each year on
knee surgeries, compared to an estimated $81 million
for male athletes. According to the American
Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine, the injury rate
for female athletes is two to ten times higher in female
athletes than in their male counterparts. Edward J.
Wojtys, MD, editor of Orthopedics Today's Sports
Medicine section, said "It has become clear that
the female athlete is different from the male athlete.
Nutrition, training, health issues all need to be
addressed in a gender-specific manner."
We couldn't agree more. Nutrition is paramount for
every athlete, and optimum protein nutrition for the
female competitor is of the utmost importance. The
tendons, ligaments, bone and cartilage are all
composed of proteins. If the diet is inadequate, the
structure will be prone to injury.
Our experience is that many female athletes are
actually deficient in protein and that leads to weakened
tendons, ligaments and cartilage surfaces that are more
prone to injury with high intensity training.
