The 5 Most Important Characteristics of SON Formula®
Prof. Dr. Maurizio Lucà Moretti MAP Master Amino Acid Pattern®
1. Comparative clinical studies have shown that the use of SON Formula® is more nutritious compared to any dietary protein or protein supplement.
Comparative clinical studies have shown that the use of SON Formula® provides a 99% Net Nitrogen Utilization® (NNU®, the highest compared to any dietary protein or protein supplement. In contrast, dietary proteins usually provide 16% to 32% NNU®. To illustrate: the percentage of NNU® of a dietary protein is the scientific index that defines its specific nutritional value. Therefore, the higher the percentage of NNU® of a dietary protein, the higher its nutritional value and vice versa.
The previously described comparative clinical studies have shown that during the digestion of SON Formula®, 99% of its constituent amino acids follow the anabolic pathway, acting as precursors of Body Protein Synthesis (BPS), thus becoming the body’s constituent proteins. Considering the scientific facts described above, it can be concluded that the use of SON Formula® is the most nutritious in comparison to that of any dietary protein or protein supplement.
2. SON Formula® can be digested sooner and easier in comparison to any dietary protein or protein supplement
SON Formula® is absorbed from the small intestine within 23 minutes of its ingestion. In contrast, dietary proteins usually require a digestion period of 3 to 6 hours (180-360 min). That is, a digestive period 6 to 12 times longer compared to that required by SON Formula®. Considering the scientific facts described above, it can be concluded that the use of SON Formula®, in substitution of dietary proteins, can prevent or minimize, both in time and intensity, the overload of digestive functions.
3. Comparative clinical studies have shown that the use of SON Formula® provides a greater and faster Body's Protein Synthesis (BPS) compared to any dietary protein or protein supplement.
Comparative clinical studies have shown that the use of SON Formula® provides a Body's Protein Synthesis (NNU®/min) equivalent to 99% Net Nitrogen Utilization® (NNU®) in a digestive period of 23 min. In contrast, dietary proteins usually provide a BPS between 16% and 32% NNU® in a digestive period of 180-360 min. Consequently, SON Formula® can generate a BPS (NNU®/min) 24 to 96 times higher compared to dietary proteins or protein supplements. Considering the scientific facts previously described, it can be concluded that the use of SON Formula® provides a greater and faster Body's Protein Synthesis (NNU®/min) compared to any dietary protein or protein supplement.
4. Comparative clinical studies have shown that the use of SON Formula®, as a substitute for dietary proteins, can prevent or minimize the overload of liver and kidney function.
Comparative clinical studies have shown that the use of SON Formula® releases only 1% nitrogen catabolites, that is, the least amount of toxic metabolic waste compared to any dietary protein or protein supplement. In contrast, dietary proteins, during digestion, release 68% to 84% of nitrogen catabolites. That is, 67 to 83 times more toxic metabolic waste, compared to SON Formula®, which must be catabolized through liver and kidney function before being eliminated with the urine. Considering the scientific facts described above, it can be concluded that the use of SON Formula®, as a substitute for dietary proteins, can prevent or minimize the overload of liver and kidney function.
5. The results of comparative clinical studies have shown that the use of SON Formula®, as a substitute for dietary proteins, can significantly reduce the daily caloric intake.
Results of comparative clinical studies have shown that SON Formula® provides only 0.04 Kcal/g. That is, the lowest amount of calories compared to any dietary protein or protein supplement. On the contrary, dietary proteins provide 4.00 Kcal/g, that is, 99 times more calories compared to those provided by SON Formula®. Considering the scientific facts described above, it can be concluded that the use of SON Formula®, as a substitute for dietary proteins, can considerably reduce the daily caloric intake.
Abbildung 1. Stoffwechsel von Nahrungseiweiß
Zur Veranschaulichung: Wenn ein Nahrungsprotein verdaut wird, setzt es seine Aminosäuren in den Dünndarm frei, wo sie absorbiert werden. Dann können diese Aminosäuren entweder den anabolen Weg (Aufbau) oder den katabolen Weg (Abbau) gehen.
Abbildung II. Der anabole Weg des Proteinstoffwechsels
Wenn die mit der Nahrung aufgenommenen Aminosäuren den anabolen Weg beschreiten, fungieren sie als Vorläufer für die körpereigene Proteinsynthese und werden so zu den Proteinen, aus denen der Körper besteht. Während des anabolen Weges setzen die Aminosäuren keine Stickstoffabbauprodukte oder Energie frei.
Abbildung III. Der katabole Weg des Proteinstoffwechsels
Wenn die mit der Nahrung aufgenommenen Aminosäuren hingegen den katabolen Weg beschreiten, dienen sie nur als Energiequelle und nicht als Vorläufer für die körpereigene ProteinsyntheseBPS). Während des katabolen Weges setzen die Aminosäuren Stickstoffabbauprodukte (toxische Stoffwechselabfälle) und Energie frei.
