Sci-MX L-Glutamine (500g)

Product Description

Sci-MX L-Glutamine (500g) Glutamine is the most abundant free-form amino acid in muscle, comprising over 50% of the free amino acids.   Accelerate muscle growth Repair muscle tissue more effectively Prevent post workout muscle tissue breakdown Enhance & accelerate post workout recovery Increase natural growth hormone production, also resulting in lower levels of fat Improve cell-volumisation, resulting in fuller, harder muscle tone Enhance strength & sporting performance   Why You Need Sci-MX L-Glutamine During & after intense training, large amounts of glutamine are released from muscle. The deficit created by this triggers the conversion of other amino acids into glutamine, which is a catabolic (muscle wasting) action. Oral supplementation of L-Glutamine helps to prevent muscle wastage caused by this natural recovery process. Glutamine has become increasingly prominent as new studies reveal its unique contribution to protein synthesis, muscle growth, anti-catabolic (preventing muscle tissue breakdown) & growth hormone elevating effects. The Most Abundant Amino Acid Glutamine is the most abundant single amino acid in the blood & in the intracellular free amino acid pool (most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue). It comprises almost two-thirds of the amino acid pool in skeletal muscle cell. In fact, Glutamine alone is responsible for over one-third of the nitrogen that penetrates muscle cells. Glutamine literally drives muscle-building nitrogen into the muscle cell where it is synthesised for growth. Glutamine concentrations fall remarkably after training within as little as 30 minutes, & remain low until complete recovery, up to as long as 5 – 7 days, resulting in decreases in strength, stamina & recovery. It is therefore critical for maintaining & building muscle tissue. The higher the muscle glutamine levels you can maintain, the less chance you have of falling into catabolism & the faster muscle will recover & grow. Sci-MX L-Glutamine
- Typically Used By Weight-lifters, bodybuilders & other strength athletes Power athletes (Rugby players, Field athletes, Boxers etc) Endurance athletes wanting to build muscle or increase strength (Tri-athletes, cyclists, swimmers) Anyone wanting to gain muscle, recover better from workouts, or improve sports performance Anyone engaging in strenuous physical activity, wanting to enhance muscle growth & recovery   Ingredients per half teaspoon serving 2500mg pure pharmaceutical grade L-Glutamine   Sci-MX L-Glutamine
- Recommended Use The optimum amount of L-Glutamine required depends on training intensity. A sensible guideline is to use a total of 5 grams per 45 minutes of endurance or weight training, 2.5g before & 2.5g after. A training session lasting 1 1/2 hours would therefore require 10 grams in total (5g before & 5g after) Pre training: Mix ½ a teaspoon (2.5g) to 1 heaped teaspoon (5g), depending on training intensity, with water & drink 30 minutes before training Post training: Take ½ a teaspoon to 1 heaped teaspoon as soon as possible after training, preferably within 45 minutes Rest days: Take ½ to 1 heaped teaspoon 15 minutes before bedtime Combining with other supplements: L-Glutamine can be safely combined with other supplements such as creatine, Sci-MX’s Amino-Fusion & protein drinks.
