Buy glutamine supplements

What is glutamine?

Glutamine is an amino acid with the particularity of being the most abundant in the body . Like all amino acids, the body uses them to produce proteins. Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in muscle tissue. It is also the main source of fuel for the small intestine and the cells of the immune system. This makes it an important supplement for anyone who trains hard and wants to recover faster.

Main properties for sport

Glutamine has a number of benefits, including:

Help maintain normal muscle function during exercise and recovery

Glutamine has been shown to be beneficial for strength athletes because it helps maintain muscle glycogen stores and protects against muscle breakdown during intense exercise. It is especially useful when going through a period of intense training or on a strict carbohydrate diet. Glutamine can also reduce feelings of fatigue during prolonged exercise because it helps maintain normal blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Increases protein synthesis thus reducing muscle soreness

Glutamine helps reduce muscle soreness by increasing protein synthesis and decreasing protein breakdown. This means it can help you look your best after your workouts, as well as help you recover faster between workouts.

Helps maintain normal immune function

Glutamine plays an important role in maintaining proper immune function, which can help prevent infections when you train strenuously.

Glutamine Formats

• Powdered Glutamine : This is the most common form of glutamine available on the market today. Allows mixing with other supplement shakes or drinks easily. If you are looking for something like that you may prefer plain or neutral glutamine.
• Chewable tablets : Chewable glutamine capsules are usually the ideal option for those who do not mix glutamine in other supplements. They come in comfortable and practical formats with a good taste that make it easy to take.
• Glutamine capsules: These capsules are sometimes not easy to swallow or you have to swallow a large number of capsules to get a good supply of glutamine.

When to take?

Normally it is recommended to take it after training with or without food, cold of course, to avoid a decrease in its effects. The amount that is usually consumed by athletes is about 20 grams a day, a value that will always depend on body weight and is distributed throughout the day in the following stages:

• Before training
• after training
• Before going to sleep. This significantly reduces nocturnal catabolism, and facilitates muscle recovery for the next day.
