L-glutamine pure and hard, neither more nor less, nor less nor more, that is what it is Gutamine, one of the last products to join the catalog of 226ers. Rodrigo Borrego tells us his secrets.
In each of the
boats of this product, we will find
300 grams of 100% L-glutamine dust and a cacuito that filling it by ras, takes 5-6 grams.
The 100% L-Glutamine is literal because, for not having,
He has no flavor, they have left it in neutral so that it can be combined with everything, from simple water to a shake, juice, coffee, isotonic drinks, ... we have total freedom because it will not alter the taste of the liquid in which we throw it. By the way, dust is not the typical granulated but is rather floury and very light, such as talcum dust so, be careful to hit it because you can liar and put everything lost.
The
L-glutamine It is one of the best known amino acids and those that are most resorted lately for its numerous effects and benefits, both separately and when combined with other nutrients.
Surely most associate it with
Ramified amino acids (BCCAS) Because it is one of the most typical combinations (
BCAAS + L-glutamine) But they are totally independent nutrients and, even if they share certain action profiles,
Each one performs their function. In fact, it is not only that they can be taken separately but, for those who are meticulous and like to make the fine adjustment in their nutrition, the possibility offered by having them as isolated active ingredients gives a lot of versatility and allows us to take more or less of each of them as we require.
Right in that line is what I imagine were thinking of
226ers And that's why they launched
Two different products that allow to do practically what you want: take them separately, take them at the same time, vary the proportions of each of them.
The contribution of
BCAAS We have already covered it in article "
BCAA’s 8: 1: 1: branched amino acids and much more" of the
FEED YOU BLOG And, as we anticipated you, now it is the turn of the
L-glutamine, that we would cover with the
Gutamine.
L-glutamine:
As you know, in these articles I do not like to go into low level or details
scientific, among other things, because I do not consider myself trained for this I am no longer (so) specialist (for that I would need to have training and much more experience in nutrition, physiology, etc.), but I do believe that it is necessary to give at least some brushstrokes so that we can all at least place.
The
L-glutamine it's a
amino acid of those considered as
not essential, that is, that
The body is able to synthesize them. It is the one that has the greatest presence in the body and, although in a normal situation the body is able to synthesize what it needs, in case there is a greater demand than usual because we are demanding a plus to the body, it is convenient to resort to an external contribution because probably the body is not able to supply what we demand.
It is one of the components of proteins and has a
direct action on muscle construction processes (anabolism) Thanks to its ability to regulate cell hydration issues and
Growth hormone synthesis. It is also very useful for its
buffer effect and reduce the effect of ammonia which is generated as a residue in energy processes.
Can also serve as
Energy substrate, although it is not its main function and what it does represent is a role as
glutathione precursor, intervenes in the formation of glucosamine, reduces muscle catabolism, ... And, as if that were not enough, it also is related to
Immune processes And, in fact, immune cells are one of their main consumers.
For all this and, because in sport, demand can become much superior to the amount that we are able to synthesize in the body, some consider it as an essential amino acid (at least in athletes).
How to use glutamine:
Synthesizing what we have just seen,
L-glutamine improves recovery, stimulates protein and glycogenic synthesis as well as muscle reconstruction, reduces muscle fatigue, neutralizes acidosis, serves as an energy substrate, stimulates the immunological system, ... With what your ideal consumption moment is almost anyone!
Out of purses, L-Glutamine intervenes in so many processes that really,
It can be utility practically at any time: before, during or after. Moreover, it can even be a nutrient
therapeutic Due to its anticatabolic properties, very useful in periods of prolonged injury.
However, limiting a little,
The most common moment for consumption is after physical activity, followed by before it. In the during, it makes sense especially in long -term activities but, if not, it seems that it gives better result to take it before, to have the top deposits and then take it after having finished to replace and make sure we have in the body so that they can be properly triggered by the processes in which it intervenes.
Although we have seen that the
L-glutamine She is a good girl and serves a lot of things, we cannot take her indiscriminately. As usual, there is no absolute consensus in terms of the ideal dose that seems to move
In the range of 0’1-0’3 grams per kilograms and day And, in the case of taking it continuously over time, it seems that the
20 grams per day.
If it goes from there, nothing would happen, but it is for prolonged periods, there seems to be negative interactions with the absorption processes of other amino acids. Moreover, the fact that
226ers has developed
Gutamine with
100% glutamine It is because it can be taken isolated, without other amino acids and thus does not interfere with its assimilation process and the dose that is really taken is better.
Each chogo takes about 5-6 grams of product so for someone as a server, which is slightly below 60 kg, would represent three bacites a day, about 18 grams (0’3 g/kg/day x 60 kg) but, as throughout the day I end up taking other products with L-Glutamine (eg the recovery
Recovery Drink), I do not usually move from the two staves (without hurrying them, so that about 10 grams come out) and, in fact, many times, I miss one (5-6 grams).
In those cases (in the
Post exercise), I really like doing
The mixture with a living drink and not too much energy load (e.g.
ISOTONIC DRINK) And she adds that little bush (or two cagos) of Glutamine (could we call it "
ISO-Gluta Drink"Or preferred"
Gluta-iso Drink"?), Above all, if I have stuck a sudad of good (I look for a rapid fluid and salts replace
Vray Fast Recovery”If it has been at night, it is most likely that there I religiously put that second cacito and thus leave the body to enjoy the
L-glutamine throughout the night, that is served to taste and throw from it everything you need.
In the during, I do not usually use it Because, for long runs, I think it is already worth the L-glutamine that incorporate energy drinks designed for long-term exercises (e.g.
Sub9 Energy Drink) So I have not used it more than three or four times to see if I noticed something and, honestly, I think it does not compensate for me, that I take from jaleos and shoot the energy drink if it is of the complete ones, of which they carry the pluses in the form of L-Glutamine, BCAAS, etc. (If it is as rich as the sub9 Energy Drink, better, of course).
AND,
prior to physical activity, I do not usually take it too close but I prefer to do as what I commented on the
Take before going to bed I almost always do just get up and almost fast to the gym to hit me an "entertaining" session. I have tried to take it in the morning and, theoretically, the ideal is to take something like an hour before starting but, I do not know, I am calmer separating it more because I think it also fills the deposit and so I can get up and eat or drink what the body asks for me in the morning (a little more chicha asks me and others little more than the liquid with some HCS to mobilize the insulin). But, come on, that of throwing a bug of
Gutamine In milk with milk, it is great and you have been putting it and is assimilating the body and, surely, if we did a study of the indicators of muscle damage, they would be lower than if nothing is taken of L-Glutamine. In the event that you have taken that little bag, after the session I do not usually take it or, if it has been a session
destroyer, I try to throw one of proper, to help the body a little to recover.
And well,
What do you think of these useful guidelines? Do you coincide with what you apply, do you seem consistent, do you think it is better to do it otherwise?
