Dual power of Glutamine and BCAA for recovery
- increases protein synthesis
- prevents catabolic state
- accelerates muscle recovery
One of the key stages in any active person’s routine is recovery from exercise. It ensures that your muscles get the time to restore their glycogen stores and address any damage caused by exercise. To give your muscles a hand, consider trying Maxler BCAA plus Glutamine powder after your workouts.
What are BCAAs?
Branched chain amino acids, BCAAs, are three amino acids that our body requires, but cannot synthesize. They boost musclebuilding and help our cells take in glucose from the blood, fueling the muscles. These are great for recovering from endurance and strength training and make you feel less tired after working out.
What is Glutamine?
Glutamine is another amino acid. White blood cells use it as a fuel source, and it maintains the integrity of our intestinal lining. We also use a lot of glutamine when we exercise, so it’s important to replenish it.
Glutamine is a particularly good amino acid for recovery, as it:
- Lessens inflammation that occurs due to muscle damage;
- Decreases feelings of tiredness;
- Reduces soreness and loss of strength.
Why combine them?
During exercise, the body may run into a situation where it cannot make enough glutamine to keep up with the need for it. Therefore, it can start using BCAAs to make glutamine. Having glutamine in the supplement allows the body to use the BCAAs for musclebuilding and recovery instead of simply as a building block for glutamine.
For those who would like to recover quicker, BCAA plus Glutamine can be an overlooked option with plenty of overall benefits.
Useful apart, but stronger together
BCAAs and glutamine are highly effective independently, participating in musclebuilding in their own way. During periods of stress, like workouts and dieting, the need for glutamine increases and the body cannot make the sufficient amount. With BCAAs being essential (not synthesized in the body), supplementing those 4 amino acids provides the body with much needed support.
Simple formula for complex results
A combination of BCAAs and glutamine ensures muscle growth, tones down muscle breakdown, and allows for a clean and smooth recovery, locking all your gains in and supporting your strive to get more.
