We are really impressed with MAP/SON Formula Protein Tablets, the master amino acid pattern capsules. After taking one year off from our regular exercise regime, we finally forced ourselves over to the gym to start pumping iron. We promised ourselves to start with lighter weights and to pump three times each week, no matter how badly our muscles hurt. Barbara, our wellness coach, recommended taking 5 MAP tablets before each workout so we decided to give it a try. Well, we couldn’t believe it when our muscles were OK after the very first and then the succeeding workouts. We could feel the muscles but they did not ache nor did we need to moan and whine and suffer. We continued to take 5 MAPcapsules prior to every workout and have just concluded our seventh 3-day a week regime. We have raised the level of pounds we lift and are ready to increase to a higher level than when we originally thought we were at our peak over year ago. Both of us at ages 70 and 72 are sold on MAP and can highly recommend it to you exercisers!.... See Below for more amazing testimonials!
MAP or SON Formula Protein 120t
Master Amino Acid Pattern, MAAP, MAP, BioBuilde, SON are all the exact same formula
Dr. M. Luca-Moretti is the research scientist who discovered the exact ratio of the essential amino acids (protein) needed by all tissues in the body. SON MAP Protein Substitute is a protein substitute that meets this need.
To deliver this nutrition he created a vegetarian-compatible tablet that requires no digestion. Known as SON Formula and MAP (master amino acid pattern), Dr. Luca's U.S., European and South American patented protein, is made from organic vegetables and grains in Europe where the product has been used for many years.
One one-gram tablet provides as much usable protein as 35 grams of animal protein.
Each one-gram tablet contains only 1/2 calorie, compared to hundreds of calories in animal protein.
From an empty stomach MAP protein enters the bloodstream in 23 minutes to promote lean muscle, reduce fat, build neurotransmitters such as serotonin, and improve skin and energy. Anecdotally, my clients report an effective anti-depressant function also.
Entering the blood stream directly from the stomach and upper small intestine, and therefore requiring no digestion - just simple 'melting' - makes this almost calorie-free protein substitute a tremendous advantage for anyone wanting to lose weight and build more lean muscle; for the aging baby boomer population whose digestive powers are beginning to wane; for the extremely ill who cannot digest protein (a clinical study found 62% of nursing home patients suffered malnutrition from the inability to digest proteins); and for athletes who need pre-performance nutrition that will not tax the digestive system.
Other dietary proteins may take up to 5 hours to digest and create catabolic wastes that burden the liver and kidneys for removal (dialysis is necessary for the removal of protein waste in people with kidney failure). More importantly, these food source proteins are utilized only 20-48% anabolically, creating 52 - 80% catabolic waste. SON MAP Protein Substitute protein is utilized 99% as anabolic = 99% Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU) which means there is only 1% catabolic nitrogen waste for the kidneys to remove! This is phenomenol. No other protein performs like this.
While there is no one food on earth that has the exact amino acid ratio needed to make human tissue, SON Formula protein does have that exact ratio, allowing it to be a permanent substitute for dietary protein. It has been deemed an FDA Medical Food appropriate for all of us, from Olympic athletes to the desperately ill and all ages. One of my clients is a 6 year old on a GI tube.
This efficiency makes MAAP protein very attractive for many uses including muscle building, weight loss, balanced brain chemistry, firm skin and increased energy.
Four studies have been published in Advances in Therapy , Vol 20 Number 4, 2003 and Number 5, 2003. In these published studies and from earlier clinical trials on this, the original formula MAAP (not the one being sold by other companies), Master Amino Acid Pattern, the following conclusions were reached:
*SON Formula MAP protein used as a substitute for dietary protein, along with physical exercise, optimizes the body's protein synthesis, improving physical performance.
*SON Formula MAP protein used as part of a weight loss program with normal caloric intake prevents the yo-yo effect, flabby tissue, stretch marks, sagging breasts, hair loss, faded hair color, brittle nails, hunger, weakness, headache from ketosis, and constipation and allows for a loss of 3 - 5.5 lbs per week.
*SON Formula MAP protein used as part of a weight loss program with normal caloric intake reduces excess body fat and also excess water retention from the interstitial compartment.
*SON Formula MAP protein was also shown to reduce the build up of lactic acid during exercise by 35% and to improve overall mood of the participants.
FOR BASIC NUTRITION especially for vegetarians/vegans
For basic nutrition - to add the needed protein you are missing - start with 3-5 per day. These can be all at once or 1 3-5xd and may be taken on an empty stomach or with food. If you are taking it with food, take the tablets at the beginning of the meal, especially if you are eating another protein food. It takes animal protein so long to breakdown in the stomach/small intestine that your SON tablets will be long into the blood stream before those other proteins are broken down into amino acids if you take it at the beginning of the meal.
Prior to convincing clients to eat food for breakfast I have them ingest 3-5 tablets upon rising in the AM and we call it breakfast. It is a great way to truly fuel up at the beginning of the day if you always prefer a lighter breakfast of fruit. If this is the case, increase the number of tablets to 5-10 and consider it one of your 'skipped' meals. This is a healthy way to skip a regular meal.
FOR BUILDING MUSCLE MASS
You are in complete control (excluding genetic factors) over how much muscle you build. It depends on how many tablets you take and when, and how you exercise. To simply improve a little and/or to help your muscles burn any fat that may be in them take 5 tablets 30-45 minutes prior to any kind of exercise you are doing, including yoga. Our bodies cannot process more than 10 tablets in two hours. Since we usually exercise on an empty or mostly empty stomach the amino acids in SON-MAP will be available to the muscles in about 25 minutes. It will reduce lactic acid buildup by approximately 35% also, making exercise and recovery much more comfortable. It also increases your endurance energy allowing you to exercise harder and/or longer if you wish. Bodybuilders and competitive weight lifters take 20-30 tablets per day total, spread out over the day prior to their workouts. Golfers take 10-30 a day spread out over their entire time on the golf course. Lighter exercisers take 5-10 unless they are trying to also lose weight, in which case they take 10-15 and exercise longer. SON also burns fat.
FOR LOSING WEIGHT
Dr. Luca-Moretti designed a comprehensive weight loss program that is available through a consult. High points here are that you can skip one to two regular meals per day, substituting 10 tablets and fruit or veggies for each skipped meal. Weight loss of 3-5.5 lbs per week is ordinary and so is firm skin, high energy and good sleep! But you must eat and eat regularly! Starvation will not work and keep you healthy. And you must be in an exercise program! He has successfully worked with 500 lb people who, after losing 300 lbs, did Not need surgery to remove their excess skin. SON is fantastic for firming skin and many of my Boomer clients use it just for that.
FOR A MENTAL LIFT
Take 1-5 on an empty stomach or with fruit or veggies prior to concentration. You may take 1-5 every hour. However, our bodies cannot process more than 10 tablets in two hours whether for a mental lift, muscle building, basic nutrition or weight loss. For a mental lift you want to make sure your stomach is not digesting animal protein aminos that would compete for crossing the blood/brain barrier. The tablets are in your blood stream in about 25 minutes. It is important that you do not waste the tablets by taking them when the digestive process on animal protein has already begun in your system. There will be no harm except to your wallet! But the aminos in SON may lose the competition with the aminos in the animal food because the brain only lets a certain amount of aminos in. The students I have worked with who use SON really love it. Unfortunately, most students these days are addicted to coffee and would need detoxing from that to shift over to something healthy! And less expensive! SON is one of the detoxing tools.

During the latter part of 2003 I began having consistent attacks of diverticulitis. My Gastroenterologist prescribed antibiotics. After several attacks and several courses of antibiotics, I became very sick. Barbara Churchill reviewed my health history and started to work on my digestive system with the Son Formula (Master Amino Acid), Ultra Potent-C, Probiotics,and a little later, Wild Sockeye Salmon Oil (Omega-3). I have not had an attack in years, I am in excellent health, and have more energy than I had a decade ago. But there is more: I suffered with aches and pains in my joints and muscles and Barbara had a solution; I had severe indigestion and Barbara had a solution--and a very simple one at that; I noticed a problem with memory and Barbara had a solution. I have always believed in and worked with natural alternatives. However, I have never known anyone in this field who is as knowledgeable, understanding, and balanced as Barbara.

Many years on a largely raw vegan diet, stress and other issues have left me with a very weak, finicky digestive system that seems to have a hard time breaking down just about everything, including even healthy, clean proteins. (I've been trying to round out my nutritional profile with things like raw egg, raw goat's milk, grass-fed beef, etc.)
I have tried digestive enzymes with little impact. HCL has seemed to help more, which makes sense, since it is critical to start the whole chain of events needed for protein digestion.
When I do eat, I tend toward fruits, veggies and quinoa because, of all choices, these seem to create the fewest problems. Yet, they don't satiate for long, and my diet became WAY too carb heavy. This created
almost constant carb cravings and a very anxious energy inside. I found that, even healthy carbs, consumed in excess, create blood sugar issues,depression, anxiety, etc.
I stumbled upon the SON Formula and liked what I read about easy assimilation with little waste for my already-weak organs to process.I've been using it regularly for about a month now and WHAT A
DIFFERENCE!
* I feel more stable and balanced throughout the day
* My mood is generally better
* My carb cravings have lessened, and I am satiated MUCH longer between
meals, which has broken the "always hungry but afraid to eat" cycle
* I feel a sense of relief that my body is finally getting the protein it needs
The last point above is HUGE for people like me, as it's a catch 22 when you need protein, but poor digestion creates a situation where you can't get it through eating. In particular, the same digestive system that
can't break down your proteins, needs them to heal to be able to process proteins and other foods more effectively! I felt lost as to how to handle the dilemma beyond enzymes and HCL, which weren't "wowing" me in terms of results.
SON Formula hasn't solved all my problems, but it's actually DONE MORE FOR ME THAN JUST ABOUT ANY SUPPLEMENT I'VE EVER TRIED (and I've got cabinets full to prove that I've tried hundreds!). Over time, I'm expecting that
I'll see even more benefits from FINALLY getting the protein my body needs in a way that doesn't tax a weak system that I'm trying to strengthen.
Thank you, Barbara, for carrying products that deliver. And thank you, SON MAP Formula, for making the benefits of using the product worth the investment. Over time, it's a lot more cost effective to spend more on something that works than to look for great prices and try many things that do just about nothing! Wish I found this product sooner, yet grateful that I found it at all...
