| Q. How important is it to take NANO Glutamine? Can I get away with just taking other supplements? |
(Posted: 11th July, 2007) |
| A. NANO Glutamine is a very important supplement to take and crucial to recovering at the optimum level, enabling anabolic growth. This relates back to the BCAA's ( Branch Chain Amino Acids), especially the research that has been done on L-leucine. It has been found to work at a genetic level in signalling an anabolic response within muscle. The problem is within muscle, BCAA's are converted to other amino acids, which one of the predominant amino acids they are converted to is glutamine. The reason for this is because Glutamine is one of the first amino acids along with L-alanine to be transported out of muscle to the liver to be converted into glucose and glycogen to try and help restore glycogen levels within the liver because it has sent its stores to the muscle to fuel it during exercise. Supplemental NANO Glutamine will therefore help buffer liver and muscle levels of Glutamine and help prevent BCAA's from being converted. This will enable you to recover quicker and help promote anabolic growth through preserved BCAA levels. Therefore NANO Glutamine is very important and foregoing it for other supplements may in fact restrict your results. |

| Q. Whats the advantage of taking NANO Glutamine over the micronised version? |
(Posted: 11th July, 2007) |
| A. NANO Glutamine being of tiny particle size is easily diffused straight into the blood stream upon digestion. This enables it to be transported quickly to the liver and muscles to buffer or restore glutamine to optimum levels. The problem with other non NANO forms of Glutamine is because of the larger particle size, most will be absorbed into the body through the digestive system's small intestine. The problem with this is that the villi and cells that line the intestine are also hungry for glutamine. This would mean there would be a delay in restoring glutamine stores within the liver and muscle, because the intestinal system has pinched it, which will also interupt with your recovery and growth process. One way of getting around this would be to flood your intestinal system with Glutamine to ensure that enough glutamine would enter the blood stream to restore levels within your liver and muscle. That's why the recommended dose for non NANO Glutamine is around 10g at a time. That would mean a 400g tub would only contain 40 servings. With NANO Glutamine you only need 3g a serve for the same effect to restore liver and muscle levels and you get a whopping 132 servings out of a 400g tub. |

| Q. Do I take NANO Glutamine before or after training? |
(Posted: 11th July, 2007) |
| A. Both! Lastest research found an 8g dose of non NANO glutamine directly after exercise promoted the same glycogen storage effect as consuming 61g of glucose! What this means is that enhancing glycogen accumulation within muscle not only means an athlete can workout harder and recover quicker, it also serves as a potent anabolic (growth) signal within muscle cells. Remember, preserving protein, especially the BCAA's within muscle is the key to anabolic growth. Any drop in glycogen levels within your muscle and liver will cause the BCAA's to be converted into Alanine and Glutamine which is then transported out of muscle to the liver to be converted into glucose and glycogen to send back to the muscle. This is the other reason why you take Glutamine before training. This will act as a buffer for the glutamine produced in muscle which would be normally be transported out of muscle to the liver. This will preserve muscle glutamine stores and therefore also preserve BCAA stores to enhance muscle function, recovery and anabolic growth. |
