Glutamine is one of the most popular nutritional supplements in almost all sports. But it doesn't matter in what form we use it! If you want to get the most out of your glutamine preparation, you should know some important facts about glutamines.
WHAT IS GLUTAMINE AND WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in our muscle tissues. During physical activity – regardless of its type and duration – the body begins to break down amino acids, i.e. the breakdown process (catabolism) starts. In addition, high-intensity, strenuous training has been proven to weaken the body's resistance. Therefore, the main functions of glutamine supplementation are to increase and maintain muscle , as well as to support the immune system .
Glutamine has a number of other properties, each of which alone can be reason enough to consume it. You can read all of these and the above in detail in the Full description section.
L-GLUTAMINE OR GLUTAMINE PEPTIDE
Most dietary supplements contain L-glutamine , while some products contain glutamine peptide . The main difference is that L-glutamine is a free form, meaning it is not bound to other amino acids. This results in faster absorption, but reduces its stability . Glutamine peptides, on the other hand, are not "free", but are connected to other amino acids by peptide bonds. In this way, they will be much more stable and the body can use them much more easily and in larger quantities .
Which one is better?
Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is best to choose a product that contains both forms , so that the positive effects complement each other. L-glutamine ensures fast absorption, and glutamine peptide ensures stability. L-glutamine immediately "charges" the muscles (and the body) with energy , the peptide formula promotes muscle development, regeneration and supports the immune system , and also plays a major role in the protection of the intestinal mucosa.
Therefore, the best effect can be achieved by using L-glutamine and hydrolyzed glutamine peptide together. But even this can be enhanced...
HOW CAN THE UTILIZATION OF GLUTAMINE BE INCREASED?
Vitamin B6 accelerates the amino acid metabolism, thereby effectively promoting the absorption, utilization and effect of glutamine. As a coenzyme, vitamin B6 catalyzes nitrogen transfer processes, which ensures muscle-building processes. In other words: satisfactory muscle development and strengthening only takes place perfectly if sufficient vitamin B6 is available to the body! Vitamin B6 strengthens the utilization of glutamine to such an extent that we write about it in more detail in the Full description section.
Vitamin C can significantly enhance the cell-regenerating, immune-strengthening effect of glutamine. (Don't forget that this is one of the important functions of glutamine!) In addition, as an antioxidant, it can help prevent cell damage caused by free radicals formed during physical activity.
It is important to remember that the glutamine preparation should not contain vitamins B6 and C to cover the daily vitamin requirement, but to promote the utilization of glutamine! Therefore, it is worth taking these two micronutrients at the same time as glutamine, in exact proportions, regardless of the daily vitamin consumption.
THE OPTIMUM GLUTAMINE FORMULA
Based on the above, an optimal glutamine preparation contains L-glutamine (fast absorption, immediate replenishment), hydrolyzed glutamine peptides (stability, greater utilization), and vitamins B6 and C (supporting maximum utilization). Taking these scientific facts into account, we designed the Panhellen Glutamine Ultra Formula , which is therefore not an ordinary glutamine preparation, but a top quality glutamine formula.
PANHELLEN GLUTAMINE ULTRA FORMULA
PANHELLEN GLUTAMINE ULTRA FORMULA exceptionally simultaneously ensures the rapid absorption of L-glutamine, the stability of glutamine peptides, maximum muscle development and regeneration, as well as the protection and support of the immune system. Due to the combined use of two forms of glutamine with different mechanisms of action, as well as the addition of vitamins in an optimal ratio, GLUTEMINE ULTRA FORMULA is a high-quality, highly effective, 100% pure glutamine complex formula.
The addition of flavorings (fruit powders) made from real fruits not only raises the quality level of the product, but also contributes to the maximum consumer experience. GLUTEMINE ULTRA FORMULA is not "only" maximally effective, but also delicious. We used the well-proven citrus flavor, which is used in the BCAA MAX and NITR-O products, so the taste experience is guaranteed even when consumed together with them.
BCAA OR GLUTAMINE?
A common question is whether it is better to consume BCAA (branched chain amino acids) or glutamine. Of course, both are effective on their own, but the effects of these important amino acids add up together. L-glutamine is called by many "the king of amino acids" or "the mother of all aminos", and it is rightly one of the most popular amino acids. At the same time, the amino acids in the muscles are approx. BCAAs make up 35% of it, which is why they are essential for building muscle.
Thus, glutamine and branched-chain amino acids should not be compared to each other, neither can replace the other . If we want to achieve the best results in increasing muscle and preventing its degradation, then use both; whether consumed together or separately. It is also worth noting that BCAA helps the utilization of glutamine, supplementing the function of vitamin B6.
vitamins (vitamin C: L-ascorbic acid, vitamin B6: pyridoxine hydrochloride), flavors, sweetener (sucralose), color (curcumin), fruit powders [orange powder (orange juice concentrate, maltodextrin, citric acid), lemon powder (maltodextrin, lemon juice concentrate)].
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
mix 1 serving (6 g = 1 scoop*) of Panhellen Glutamine UltraTM drink powder in 200 ml of cold water. Basically, it is most important (you could say crucial) to consume 1 serving after training, but it can also be used before and/or during training. In addition, 1-1 servings can also be consumed with meals as needed.
Although the PANHELLEN GLUTAMINE ULTRA FORMULA preparation is extremely useful on its own, the best effect can be achieved when consumed together with the BCAA MAX preparation, since the branched chain amino acids enhance the utilization of glutamine even more.
WARNING: The product does not replace a mixed diet and a healthy lifestyle! Keep out of the reach of small children! Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. KEEPING ITS QUALITY (day/month/year): see packaging. STORAGE: protected from light, in a dry, cool place, between 5-25°C.
