1. The non-therapeutic use of steroids is dangerous. Meanwhile, the use of MAP™ has been shown to be safe.

2. The increase in muscle mass achieved by using steroids is temporary. Once the use of steroids is stopped, the previously acquired muscle mass is lost. On the contrary, the muscle mass gained by using MAP™ may be permanent, even if its use is interrupted.

3. The use of steroids causes an increased water and sodium retention in the interstitial compartment (the space surrounding muscle cells). As a result, muscle volume increases while muscle density decreases. On the contrary, the use of MAP™ may normalize water and sodium retention. As a result, muscle density may optimize. Therefore, the acquired muscle volume is not due to water retention but to a measurable increase in muscle mass and strength.
