Research Breakthrough Provides a Sure Way to Rebuild Energy, Fitness, and Life
Net Nitrogen Utilization
In nutritional circles, the term Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU) is used to represent how much of a protein is actually used. More specifically, it represents the amount of amino acids from a dietary protein or an amino acid formula that is used by the body to build proteins.
The nitrogen portion of the amino acid is either incorporated (used) in your body or becomes a nitrogen metabolic waste product. Until recently, the whole egg from a chicken was considered to have the highest protein nutritional value (the same as the highest Net Nitrogen Utilization).
Nitrogen balance studies confirm that even after digesting and absorbing the amino acids from the whole hen's egg, only 48% of the amino acids are actually used by the body to build proteins. Surprisingly, the remaining 52% of the amino acids are not used to build protein and result in nitrogen waste. This is because the protein from egg does not contain the exact proportion of amino acids needed for human nutrition.
Liver and Kidneys
The liver and kidneys are involved in the elimination of this nitrogen waste. That's why low protein diets are recommended for patients with compromised liver or kidney function. They can't get rid of the toxic nitrogen waste created from the unused amino acids from the proteins they eat.
On the other hand, inadequate protein/amino acid intake will compromise their health and will lead to a downward spiral. What is needed is the exact proportion of amino acids that the human body requires!
Now consider the person with poor digestion or gastrointestinal disorders, the individual recovering from illness or surgery, or the athlete who wants to optimize strength and endurance. Also consider the individual over 40 whose immune system, muscle tone, and bone structure is being compromised due to the gradual loss of body proteins that occurs during the aging process.
They all need their required amounts of usable protein. When a source of protein nutritional support has the perfect blend of amino acids for human nutrition, all of it could be used to build the body's required proteins necessary for health!
No nitrogen waste is left over for the liver and kidneys to deal with. No digestion is needed for full absorption. And when it comes in tablet form, it is easy to take every day.
As a result of this breakthrough, this nearly-perfect protein, Master Amino Acid Pattern (MAP) has been proven to provide a 99% Net Nitrogen Utilization. Once swallowed, this ideal amino acid combination, for absorption and utilization, is available at the cells in 23 minutes.
Compare the alternative options for protein nutritional support: whey, soy, casein, and egg white have an NNU of only 17%, and other amino acid blends have a maximum NNU of only 18%! More of the products nitrogen goes toward waste than toward anabolic activity.
