Supplement review - MyProtein L Glutamine

SUPPLEMENT REIVEW

MYPROTEIN L GLUTEAMINE


Overview:
For basic L Glutemine I used it before I found M-Force Whey which already has a good amount of it per serving anyway. After speaking to a body builder named Chris Pike from the Chesterfield area, I got some on his advise because I was looking to gain some size and needed to make sure my body could recover enough to cope with the intensity of my training. So L Glutemine is an amino acid which we know are the foundation blocks for proteins which are then used for muscle repair and recovery, the more muscle fibres we tear during training the bigger muscles get but to do this we need to help the muscles repair as much as possible and that is where proteins and amino acids come in. I personally found L Glutemine to be really good and I was able to keep the intensity of my training at a very high level and didn't feel anywhere near as sore or fatigued as I did before I started taking it. As a product it did exactly what I wanted it to do and that was to aid repair and recovery along side taking a protein supplement. I definitely saw the benefits from taking L Glutemine and protein supplements together and was able to gain some good mass. I am taking L Glutemine again at the moment but not along with a protein supplement. I'm cutting down right now and getting an adequate amount of protein from my diet but using L Glutemine because I was starting to feel fatigued and it has helped a lot.

Nutrition: *SPOILER ALERT!!!*

100% L Glutemine. What else did you think was going to be in it?!

What the manufacture has to say: 
The suggested use for this product is 5g 1-3 times a day. For the best results MyProtein suggested servings are first thing upon waking, lunch and 1 hour before sleep which I found did work well for me. MyProtein say it pretty simple really with no BS. 
1. helps replenish glycogen levels 
2. reduces recovery time
3. it's a popular amino acid.
Cant get anymore to the point than that.

Conclusion:
L Glutemine does exactly what it says on the package and nothing more. It does aid recovery and muscle repair simple as. I only ever had the unflavoured version of this product and it is god awful on its own in water! I had to add it to juice or cordial but you can get a flavoured version now for a little extra cost. I get a 1kg pouch for £19.99 but now MyProtein only seem to do 250g pouches at £5.99 a pop which is still a good price I guess. If you're looking to train really intensely or you already are and feeling fatigued from your work outs I would strongly suggest trying L Glutemine.

Supplement review - Muscle Force M-Force Whey

SUPPLEMENT REVIEW

Muscle Force Nutrition - M-Force Whey



Overview:
When it comes to protein I think its best to find what works for you. The most expensive protein product might not always be the best. M-Force Whey has always ticked every box for me and does everything I need it too. 19.5g of protein per serving with 3.5g of L-Glutamine and 4g of BCAA's along side low fat and carbs is fantastic for me. What's even better is this has 90 servings per 2.27kg tub for only £37.99 is great value for money. Since I first used M-Force Whey last year I haven't looked back.
