Buy glutamine supplements

What is glutamine?

Glutamine is an amino acid notable for 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 fuel source for the small intestine and immune system cells. This makes it an important supplement for anyone who trains hard and wants to recover faster.

Main benefits for sports

Glutamine has a number of benefits, including:

Helping to 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 during periods of intense training or when following a strict carbohydrate diet. Glutamine can also reduce feelings of fatigue during prolonged exercise by helping to maintain normal blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Increases protein synthesis, thereby reducing muscle soreness

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

Helps maintain normal immune function

Glutamine plays an important role in maintaining proper immune function, which can help prevent infections when training intensely.

What types of glutamine exist?

At MASmusculo we assure you that all the glutamine supplements we sell are from high-quality brands for which compound safety and quality are a priority. You can find pure generic glutamine formulas, which are somewhat more economical than others with quality seals and patented ingredients, such as:

• Kyowa®, an international ingredient manufacturer that meets highly demanding quality standards and offers some of the highest quality glutamine.
• Ajinomoto®, which has positioned itself among the best in the sports supplement industry.

Additionally, in this same category, you can find glutamine complexes, high pharmaceutical-grade glutamine supplements often mixed with arginine and/or vitamins. We also have a section of Glutamine + BCAA supplements specifically designed as post-workout products.

Glutamine formats

• Glutamine powder: This is the most common form of glutamine available on the market today. It allows easy mixing with other supplement shakes or drinks. If you are looking for something like this, you might prefer flavorless or neutral glutamine.
• Chewable tablets: Chewable glutamine capsules are usually the ideal option for those who do not mix glutamine with other supplements. They come in convenient, practical, and good-tasting formats that make dosing easier.
• Glutamine capsules: These capsules can sometimes be hard to swallow or require taking a large number of capsules to get a good glutamine dose.

When to take it?

It is usually recommended to take glutamine after training, with or without food, preferably cold to avoid a decrease in its effects. The typical amount consumed by athletes is about 20 grams per day, a value that always depends on body weight and is distributed throughout the day in the following stages:

• Before training
• After training
• Before going to sleep. This significantly reduces nighttime catabolism and facilitates muscle recovery for the next day.
