VITAamino Master Pattern

VITAamino Master Pattern offer 99 percent anabolic amino acids – 99 percent anabolic amino acids

The VITAamino Master Pattern contains all 8 essential amino acids in an optimal ratio to each other for very good metabolism into the body's own protein structures. This means that the VITAamino Master Pattern has an exceptionally high protein utilization – approximately 99 percent.

The VITAamino Master Pattern is the high-quality alternative to the Master Amino Acid Pattern, based on the discoveries of Prof. Dr. Lucà-Moretti.

The re-evaluation of the nutritional value of dietary protein: NNU value – Net Nitrogen Utilization

The most important value for evaluating dietary proteins is the NNU value (from English – Net Nitrogen Utilization). It indicates the amount of nitrogen utilization of a protein – i.e., the anabolic amino acid structures. This means it is the percentage of amino acids capable of building new cells in the body. In other words, NNU describes the percentage of usable amino acids that follow the anabolic metabolic pathway and are thus available for cell building.

The higher this NNU value, the lower the amount of energy (calories) and the lower the amount of nitrogen breakdown products or protein waste. And vice versa, the lower the NNU value, the lower the proportion of amino acids from dietary protein that serve as precursors for the body's own protein synthesis. On the other hand, these amino acids, via the catabolic, i.e., degrading, protein metabolism, produce more metabolic waste or nitrogen waste. These are metabolic slags that are excreted from the organism and thus burden the excretory organs – especially the liver and kidneys.

In summary, the higher the NNU value, the better! It stands for the nutritional and anabolic value of a protein and indicates how many of the amino acids from the digestible part of dietary protein serve as precursors for protein synthesis. That is, those amino acids that, after successfully passing from the small intestine into the blood, follow the anabolic pathway in protein metabolism. Only this anabolic part of the amino acids can actually be used as a precursor for the body's own protein synthesis and thus for cell building and cell repair.

What does nitrogen waste mean?

When consuming dietary proteins, on the one hand, waste products from the indigestible part of the proteins are produced, which must be excreted via the intestine. This sometimes requires good intestinal peristalsis. In addition, metabolic waste (MW for metabolic waste), or also called nitrogen waste, is produced. This occurs in the body in the catabolic metabolic pathway, i.e., through the degrading metabolism of amino acids. Nitrogen waste is produced in the form of ammonia, which must be excreted via the liver and kidneys.

The higher this nitrogen waste (MW), the worse! Because then the body receives not only fewer amino acids via the anabolic pathway for endogenous protein synthesis, but also more metabolic slags and thus a higher burden on the organs, especially the liver and kidneys.

The importance of VITAamino Master Pattern in the body

Almost all tissue structures in the body are built from endogenous protein (=collective term for amino acids and proteins). This endogenous protein synthesis requires anabolic amino acids - the basic building blocks of life. Dietary protein is broken down into amino acids by digestive steps. These amino acids are absorbed in the small intestine and transported via the blood to the body sites where they are converted into endogenous protein (e.g., in muscles, skin, organs, connective and bone tissue, but also in immune bodies, blood, etc.). An adequate and high-quality supply of amino acids is therefore important for strengthening and maintaining lean body and muscle mass, for metabolism, vitality and resistance, and ultimately also for promoting and maintaining fitness and mobility into old age.

Incomparable to a conventional protein product

The VITAamino Master Pattern is better than a conventional protein product, which first has to be laboriously digested and made available to the body. Here you get the ready-made basic building blocks of protein metabolism, the 8 essential amino acids in free and crystalline form. Amino acids are the smallest building blocks of proteins. They are already broken down. As a result, they do not need to be digested at all and can be absorbed directly and without loss via the small intestine. It has been proven that this takes only 23 minutes on an empty stomach until the amino acids are available in the blood for protein synthesis.

The VITAamino Master Pattern does not burden the digestive system

Since the free and crystalline amino acids from the VITAamino Master Pattern do not need to be digested and do not require digestive enzymes in the small intestine, it does not burden either the stomach or the intestine. At the same time, it provides a 99 percent NNU value and thus not only has a digestibility of 100% (primary metabolism via the gastrointestinal tract), but also the highest anabolic value of a dietary protein (secondary metabolism for feeding into the citric acid cycle). The higher the NNU value, the higher the anabolic value for the cells and the lower the nitrogen waste, and vice versa. Since energy is also generated during the breakdown of amino acids through the breakdown of the carbon structure, which is also contained in amino acids, e.g., in the form of glucose, this value is also correspondingly low and vice versa. The lower the NNU value, the lower the anabolic value and the more burdensome nitrogen waste and glucose are produced.

Intake of dietary proteins

When consuming dietary proteins, on the one hand, waste products from the indigestible part of a protein are produced, which must be excreted via the intestine. On the other hand, "Metabolic Waste" (MW), or more precisely "nitrogen waste," is produced from the catabolic metabolic pathway, i.e., the degrading metabolism of amino acids. Nitrogen waste is produced in the form of ammonia, which must be excreted via the liver and kidneys. To assess the amount of waste produced during the breakdown of amino acids from a dietary protein, it is worth looking at the value for "metabolic waste" or nitrogen waste. The higher this is, the worse! Because then the body receives more metabolic slags and thus also has a higher burden on the liver and kidneys.

VITAamino Master Pattern contain the specific human amino acid profile

All living beings – animals, plants, humans, etc. – have their very specific amino acid structure, a so-called "Master Pattern", to achieve optimal protein synthesis. Maximum amino acid utilization requires that:

1. all 8 essential amino acids must be present simultaneously

The VITAamino Master Pattern achieves an incomparably high protein nutritional value with a 99% NNU value, meaning almost all amino acids can be used for protein synthesis and thus for the body's own cell building. On the other hand, this almost complete conversion into protein-rich body substance means that almost no metabolic waste is produced (nitrogen waste < 1%). This relieves the excretory organs, especially the liver, kidneys, and also the intestine, of the toxic end products of protein metabolism.

For people with high protein requirements

Especially people who either have a high protein requirement or need to monitor their blood sugar levels can therefore significantly reduce their metabolic waste burden from protein nutrition, which is mainly broken down into ammonia and glucose (over 80% for plant-based proteins!), by supplementing or substituting dietary protein with the VITAamino Master Pattern, and at the same time benefit from the highest anabolic value. The more the proportion and ratio of the 8 essential amino acids deviate from the VITAamino Master Pattern profile, the lower the protein nutritional value or Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU value) of a protein food source. However, the higher the proportion of metabolic waste products that burden the organism, must be broken down, and excreted via the liver and kidneys.
