vitamins/minerals. More about each:
— Glutamine. The most abundant non-essential amino acid in the human body. It has a positive effect on the synthesis of proteins in the body and the maintenance of immunity. In addition, you can find claims that glutamine contributes to increased endurance and strength, as well as the growth of muscle mass. However, there is no scientific evidence for such claims, and the effectiveness of glutamine in specialized bodybuilding applications has not been proven.
— Taurine. A non-essential amino acid that affects the overall functioning of the brain, nervous and cardiovascular systems, as well as the absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins. It has a strengthening effect on the heart, improves metabolic processes in cells; helps to lower blood sugar, which makes this supplement especially useful for diabetics. From a bodybuilding perspective, taurine is believed to protect muscle tissue from damage during high stress and promote recovery from injury, but this effect is questioned.
— Beta-alanine. An amino acid that is not directly involved in the synthesis of basic proteins, but has a positiv
...e effect on muscle tissue. One of the most pronounced effects of beta-alanine is the elimination of muscle soreness after a workout. In addition, this substance increases the concentration of carnosine in the muscles (and it, in turn, resists muscle wasting), and also increases endurance. This nutritional supplement is especially effective for anaerobic exercise.
— Citrulline. An amino acid that is not directly involved in protein synthesis, but affects metabolic processes. It helps to increase endurance and reduce fatigue, accelerates the processing of lactic acid, affects the maintenance of nitrogen balance, and also improves erectile function. In bodybuilding, it is used to increase endurance, improve blood circulation in the muscles and speed up recovery. Also, note that arginine can be synthesized from citrulline in the body.
— AAKG. Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate is not an amino acid, but a salt of the arginine described above, obtained using alpha-ketoglutaric acid. Quite widely known as an additive for pumping — "pumping" muscles to increase their visible volume and achieve relief. However, according to recent studies, this product does not affect the overall growth of muscle mass. On the other hand, AAKG is not completely useless: it has an anti-catabolic effect and helps increase peak muscle power.Servings
The number of individual servings of the drug in this packaging option. Based on a standard serving size (see below). Also note that this amount does not always correspond to the number of days for which the drug is enough, since the daily rate may include several servings.
BCAA per serving
The amount of BCAAs contained in one standard serving of the product.
For more details on serving size, see above, the features of BCAAs are described in detail in the “Type” paragraph. Knowing the amount of this component, you can accurately dose it.
