Protein for days when neither steak nor shake fits in
MAP delivers the eight essential amino acids in free, crystalline form. The 360-tablet tin is the handy size for trying the formula by Prof. Dr. Lucà-Moretti over several weeks.
🧬
The eight essential amino acids
Leucine, valine, isoleucine, lysine, phenylalanine, threonine, methionine and tryptophan – these eight the body cannot make itself and takes in through food.
💎
Free and crystalline
No protein molecule, no hydrolysate. The building blocks are present individually and don't first have to be released from protein chains before absorption.
💪
Protein and muscle mass
Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass. The eight building blocks form the basis of the body's own muscle proteins.
🦴
Protein and bones
Protein contributes to the maintenance of normal bones – something that matters with an active lifestyle.
A new habit rarely sticks when it's complicated. Anyone wanting to top up their protein intake often faces powders that need mixing, or meals that can't be planned in every day. The smaller tin lowers the barrier to entry: first see whether the tablets fit into your day before stocking up.
The body uses precisely these building blocks to assemble muscle proteins, enzymes, bone tissue and antibodies. The ratio of the eight amino acids to one another is not random but follows a fixed pattern.
Behind that pattern stands Prof. Dr. Maurizio Lucà-Moretti of the International Nutrition Research Center, who devoted his working life to nitrogen balances. The Master Amino Acid Pattern has been a registered trademark since the early 1990s.

Why are the amino acids in free, crystalline form?
In classic dietary protein, the amino acids are linked into long chains. Here they are already present individually and unbound – with no carriers and no hydrolysis. This form is also remarkably heat-stable.
⚠️ Mandatory information: Keep out of the reach of young children. Not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet. The stated recommended daily intake must not be exceeded.
📦 Storage: Store in a dry place at a temperature no higher than 25 °C.
💬 Frequently asked questions
-
Does MAP help with building muscle?+
Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass – that's the nutrient-related connection. The eight essential amino acids supply the building blocks for it. How much muscle mass grows also depends on training, sleep and calorie balance.
-
How do I fit it into my day?+
The easiest way is to tie it to a fixed habit, such as breakfast or training. There's no time of day you have to stick to – on an empty stomach or with a meal, as you prefer.
-
What does MAP taste like?+
Pure amino acids taste slightly bitter – typical of the free crystalline form. With a glass of water the tablets are swallowed in seconds.
-
What if I find the tablets hard to swallow?+
You can split them or grind them in a mortar and stir the powder into yoghurt or a smoothie. The crystalline amino acids are heat-stable and can also be worked into warm food.
-
Is the 360 tin enough to try it out?+
At five tablets a day it lasts around ten weeks. That's enough to see whether the routine fits your day long-term before moving up to a larger tin.
