SON Formula Tablets (International Nutrition Research)
(Essential amino acids)
A safe and effective substitute for dietary proteins
DESCRIPTION
SON Formula® is a dietary protein
substitute that provides the MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern® (U.S.
Patent No. 5,132,113), a unique pattern of essential amino acids in a
highly purified, free, crystalline form. After oral ingestion, SON
Formula® is rapidly utilized. SON Formula® does not require the
aid of peptidases and therefore is absorbed within 23 minutes through
the first 100 cm of functional small intestine. SON Formula® does
not provide any fecal residue. SON Formula® is amphoteric. SON
Formula® is supplied in tablets of 1,000 mg for oral
administration. Each tablet of SON Formula® contains only the
active ingredient [MAP Master Amino acid Pattern®]. SON
Formula® contains no inactive ingredients.
DESCRIPTION
SON Formula ® (MAP ® ) is a patented dietary proteins
substitute, which provides a unique pattern of essential amino acids,
in a highly purified, free, crystalline form. After oral ingestion, SON
Formula ® is rapidly utilized. SON Formula ® does not require
the aid of peptidases and therefore, it is absorbed, within 23 minutes,
through the first 100 cm of functional small intestine. SON Formula
® does not provide any fecal residue. SON Formula ® is
amphoteric. SON Formula ® is supplied in tablets of 1,000 mg for
oral administration. Each tablet of SON Formula ® , in addition to
the active ingredient MAP ® , contains no inactive ingredients.

CLINICAL STUDIES
The results of a comparative, double-blind, triple crossover Net
Nitrogen Utilization (NNU) clinical study have shown that the subjects,
while taking MAP ® , as a dietary proteins substitute, achieved a
body's 99% NNU. This means that 99% of MAP's constituent amino acids
followed the anabolic pathway, thus acting as precursor of body's
protein synthesis. By comparison, dietary proteins only provide between
16 to 48% NNU. This fact evidences that MAP is more nutritious than
dietary proteins. This has been confirmed by the fact that during the
study, each subject body's nitrogen balance was maintained in
equilibrium by taking MAP, as a sole and total substitute of dietary
proteins, in a dosage of only 400 mg/kg/day, which provided less than 2
kcal/day (1g MAP= 0.04 Kcal). The study results have also shown that 1%
of MAP's constituent amino acids followed the catabolic pathway, thus
releasing only 1% of nitrogen catabolites and energy. By comparison
dietary proteins release between 52% to 84% nitrogen catabolites and
energy. This fact evidences that MAP is safer than dietary proteins,
and that provides the lowest amount of energy in comparison to any
dietary protein.
