It’s all about how much of the protein is utilized by the body.
At the low end of the spectrum are whey and soy proteins – only 17% of their content is utilized by the body with 83% leaving as waste.
Food like meat, fish and poultry fare a bit better with 32% being absorbed and 68% being wasted.
Eggs are the winners in the food stakes with 48% being utilized with 52% waste.
Now compare those numbers to Master Amino Acid Pattern (MAP) – a massive 99% is put to work by the body, with only 1% leaving as waste. Not only that, but MAP is absorbed by the body within 23 minutes! And there is only 0.4 of a calorie per tablet.

runs into my open arms, she screams,
“Your suffering is my suffering
and your happiness is my happiness.”
