Collagen does its building work
during sleep, as does all protein synthesis (body's
production of protein for its own repair &
regeneration).
Sleep is the body in recovery mode. The body
does the majority of its recovery work in the Alpha
or Phase 1 sleep. That's when the body seeks
out available amino acids, such as supplied by
SON
Formula and GENACOL, and other micro nutrients to make new material
essential to the body.
The phases of sleep repeat themselves
over our sleep period. While we sleep, the
conversion of collagen takes place. The body
must go through a process of protein synthesis to
repair or regenerate (or both), muscles, tendons,
ligaments, vital organs, skin, bones and every other
tissue during the Alpha sleep phase.
Special
formulation of amino acids
SON Formula/MAP supplies the eight
essential amino acids which we can only get from food or supplements. Food
protein provides the amino acids we need to live and to stay healthy.
After digestion, the body metabolizes the amino content of our meal for use by
the body's
repair mechanisms.
But digestion of food protein means most of it is turned into metabolic waste in
the breakdown process. The best food protein for the least waste is the
whole hen's egg, making 48% of its amino content available to the body.
But, why not 99%? That's
what SON Formula/MAP provides, 99% utilizable amino content for quick absorption
(after 23 mins.) and no fecal residue (impossible with food protein).
When taking Genacol® before
bedtime (amino acids should always be taken on an empty stomach), take 1 SON
Formula tab with it. The effect is synergistic and the process of protein synthesis by the body
can
be accelerated.
