Posology and Method of Administration (under medical supervision)

SON Formula® recommended dosage: to be determined by a physician.

Comparative clinical studies conducted in healthy human subjects1-4 have shown that a dosage of 200 mg of SON Formula® per lb of body’s ideal weight is adequate, as a total substitute for dietary proteins, to maintain the Body’s Nitrogen Balance in Equilibrium.

For example, to calculate the dosage of SON Formula® necessary to substitute 10 g of high biological value dietary proteins, proceed as follows:

1. SON Formula® dosage = (dietary proteins x 0.4) g

2. SON Formula® dosage = (10 x 0.4) g

3. SON Formula® dosage = 4 g

Therefore, 4 tablets (4 g) of SON Formula® provide a Body’s Protein Synthesis (BPS) equivalent to that provided by 10 g of dietary proteins with high biological value.

Contraindications

None known.

Adverse Reactions

None known.

Drugs Interaction

None known.

Precautions

SON Formula® should be stored in a dry place at 68-77°F (20-25°C).

How Supplied

SON Formula® is available in bottles containing 120 tablets of 1,000mg each, for oral administration.


The Unique Characteristics of SON Formula®

1.SON Formula® provides a unique, unprecedented, Body Protein Synthesis (BPS = 99% NNU/23 min), namely the highest in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

Comparative clinical Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU) studies performed in human subjects1-4 have shown and confirmed that the use of SON Formula® provides an unprecedented and unique BPS = 99% NNU/23 min. On the contrary, dietary proteins provide a BPS of 16-32% NNU/180-360 min. That is, a BPS 24 to 96 times lower compared to that of SON Formula®. As a result, it can be concluded that SON Formula® provides a BPS that is 24 to 96 times higher in comparison to that provided by any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

Considering the scientific evidence1-4 previously described, it can be concluded that SON Formula® is the most nutritious in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

2. SON Formula® requires less than 23 minutes to be digested. That is, the shortest digestion time ever in comparison to that of any dietary protein or protein supplement.

Comparative clinical studies performed in human subjects1-4 have shown that SON Formula® requires less than 23 minutes to be digested. On the contrary, dietary proteins require a digestion time of 180 to 360 minutes (3 to 6 hours). That is, a digestion time 6 to 12 times longer in comparison to SON Formula®. As a result, it can be concluded that SON Formula® requires a digestion time 6 to 12 times shorter in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

Considering the scientific evidence1-4 previously described, it can be concluded and confirmed that SON Formula® is the most nutritious in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

3. The use of SON Formula® releases only 1% nitrogen catabolites namely metabolic toxic waste. That is, the lowest amount of nitrogen catabolites ever released, in comparison to that of any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

Comparative clinical studies performed in human subjects1-4 have shown that the use of SON Formula® releases only 1% nitrogen catabolites. In contrast, dietary proteins, during digestion, release 68 to 84% nitrogen catabolites. That is, 67 to 83 times more metabolic toxic waste, to be catabolized through the hepatic and renal function. As a result, it can be concluded that the use of SON Formula® releases 67 to 83 times less nitrogen catabolites, meaning metabolic toxic waste, in comparison to that released by any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

Considering the scientific evidence1-4 previously described, it can be also concluded that the use of SON Formula® is the safest and therefore the most health-preserving in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

4. The use of SON Formula® provides only 0.04 kcal/g. That is, the lowest amount ever of kcal/g in comparison to that provided by any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

Comparative clinical studies performed in human subjects1-4 have shown that the use of SON Formula® provides only 0.04 kcal/g. In contrast, dietary proteins, provide 4 kcal/g. That is, 99 times more kilocalories per gram in comparison to SON Formula®. As a result, it can be concluded that SON Formula® provides 99 times less kilocalories per gram in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

Considering the scientific evidence1-4 previously described, it can be concluded and confirmed that the use of SON Formula® is the safest and therefore the most health-preserving in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

5. SON Formula®, in contrast to any dietary protein or protein supplement contains no protein, lipid, carbohydrate, vitamin, mineral, trace element or excipient.

SON Formula® contains only the active ingredient map master amino acid pattern® and contains no inactive ingredients or excipients. As a result, the use of SON Formula® in substitution for dietary proteins, allows for unprecedented efficacy and flexibility to provide only the required amounts of macronutrients and micronutrients.

Considering the scientific evidence1-4 previously described, it can be concluded and confirmed that the use of SON Formula® allows for an easier and more efficient clinical nutrition management, to prevent or limit the intake of any non-required macronutrient or micronutrient.

6. The sixth and last unique characteristic of SON Formula® is originated from the cumulative effects of its, previously described, five unique characteristics. Therefore, the use of SON Formula®, in substitution for dietary proteins, protein supplements, or amino acid formulas, can significantly reduce renal, hepatic, pancreatic, digestive, cardiovascular, and/or respiratory load, in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement or amino acid formula.

 

CONCLUSIONS

The scientific evidence obtained from the publication of forty-five comparative clinical studies, conducted in human subjects, while ingesting SON Formula®, as a partial or total substitute for dietary proteins, has shown and confirmed that the use of SON Formula® is:

  • the most nutritious and the most health-preserving

in comparison to any dietary protein, protein supplement, or amino acid formula.
