What is Glutamine and what does it do?: Glutamine is the most abundant naturally occurring, non-essential amino acid in the human body(thanks wikipedia-#NERDS). My idea of Glutamine was that it was widely accepted that it aids in recovery of muscle tissue and also had medical uses. If I was advising a client on supplements, I would definitely recommend it.
For anyone who trains 2-5 times per week , branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are absolutely critical to the repair and rebuild of lean muscle in our bodies. The process of building muscle is called protein synthesis.
BCAA's are essential amino acids to your body and not just for the athletes or gym junkies, to everyone. The body cannot produce them, so we need to take them in from other sources, for example supplements such as whey proteins, BCAA powders etc.
The only problem I had with this product was the taste(fruit punch flavour). I love sweet things but my god it was extremely sweet and there is only one flavour available which is kind of a disaster seen as its such a good product.
When using it I would advise to use half a scoop rather than the recommended amount because I found it was nearly undrinkable OR dilute it a lot in a big bottle of water instead of using a protein shaker. It advises to take it pre training but I used it intra(during) training. It has barely any carbohydrate(4g) and only 70 calories per serving so don't worry about it, you won't wake up in the morning looking like the Hulk!
All round savage product and I will definitely be getting it again(please bring out new flavours though). Check out http://www.discountsupplements.ie/ for the product and all other info on it!
