Female Athletes Have 2 To 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.

That combined with over training and/or improper training then lead to injury.

Master Amino Acid Pattern (MAP) can help rebuild these structures so as to recover from past injuries and prevent future ones. We have recently seen dramatic performance changes in a female athlete after starting on MAPTM.

It is only because her protein nutrition was now OPTIMIZED, and she could express her genetic potential that she improved.

If you are a female athlete and want to maximize your potential, try using MAPTM for a month at 6 tablets twice daily. It is best taken one dose before your first workout and one dose after your last workout of the day. You may trim some time off that PR, or heal a nagging injury, or prevent a future one. Good luck.

I have been taking BioBuildeTM for 1 month now, and I have gotten more energy from using BioBuildeTM. I have also had pain in my legs, but now I don't feel the pain as much as I did before taking BioBuildeTM. - C.L.

BioBuildeTM has enabled me to sustain an active working life, whilst still being able to race at a competitive level. On my tight schedule, quality workouts with optimal recovery are the key. BioBuildeTM 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

"I have had a problem digesting protein, then I started taking BioBuildeTM. Since then I noticed that something had shifted, because, now I noticed that I am no longer hungry an hour after I eat. The results speak for themselves." -C.F.
