Master Amino Acid Pattern (Map)

[Outcome]

Anyone familiar with the Map amino acid supplement? The claim is that they are 99% usable protein whereas things like whey protein is 16% utilized, meat fish and chicken 34% and eggs are 48% usable protein. More modern versions of the supplement are perfect amino and kion amino. I’m thinking about trying some soon and wondering if anyone has experience with them.

Would like to know this as well.
Just recently heard of this and would like to know more about the science/data behind it.

Any info?

 

[Sean Mosher]

Man if that's true then we'd have to be taking in ungodly amounts of whey protein daily for it to ever even matter.............
Interesting.

 

[Outcome]

Yeah.... like a whole tub of whey. If this is solid science then this could be a great addition to a good diet, workout routine and whey supplementation.

 

[Sean Mosher]

Thanks for posting.
Would love to hear from anyone who's tried it as well.

There was a discussion of this on the recent Ben Greenfield podcast with Dr. Minkoff. I didn't pay especially close attention to the usability part of it, but this looks like another variation on essential amino acids (which appear to have a lot of validity.) I've increased my use of a basic EAA supplement which will hopefully provide a cost-effective boost along these lines.

Which basic Eaa supplement did you get?

 

[Guided_by_Voices]

This one...I have no idea how they compare but it seems to be a cost-effective choice

I decided to go with Perfect Amino. Will give it a whirl and let you all know my opinion of it.

Crock s**t.....meet your minimum daily protein requirements from whole food sources such as whole eggs, red meat, chicken, pork, fish/seafood and consume dairy such as yogurt, cottage cheese, milk and you will supply your body with all the essential amino acids one would need to repair/maintain/build muscle tissue.

If you choose to add a supplemental protein choose whey.....forget wasting your money on the latest and greatest protein to hit the market!

If one is vegan than combine a grain and legume in each meal.

Y’all are putting needles in your arse but still worry about amino acid supplements that are more expensive than test cyp?

I do that already.

I’m a sucker for new supplements. I think this stuff is interesting and wanted to try it. I’ll report back good or bad.

Yes the stuff is way more expensive than T cyp, but like I said I’m intrigued by the concept and wanted to try the supplement.

I hope it works for you, please keep us updated.

While I'n no expert in aminos, the ability of individual or small combinations of aminos to have functions beyond what you get from eating whole protein sources seems intriguing. The calming affect of L-theanine or the hunger suppressing affect of L-phenylalanine being two examples, and peptides are chains of linked aminos which clearly have strong signaling abilities, so the idea that taking essential aminos on their own might have some benefit does not seem unrealistic. My experience with them so far is encouraging but inconclusive since I've been dealing with several injuries. If anyone is aware of a good rundown of what aminos do what I would be very interested to see it. I looked some time ago and could not find a good summary.

Here's a set of amino acid studies..

Amino Acids

and one specific to EEAs

Portion of essential amino acids between meals increases muscle mass

I've been trying the EAAs as a protein meal replacement recently. It seems to help and may have a mild leanness benefit
