L-Glutamine is one of the most valuable amino acids to supplement with. L-Glutamine stores are largely depleted due to extreme exercise so it is often supplemented in the diet when partaking in intensive training or physical exercise. The body is capable of manufacturing L-Glutamine on its own, but in most cases can never manufacture enough to fill the daily needs of sports people, therefore protein rich foods and L-Glutamine supplementation should be included in a nutritional diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're working hard in the gym each day, there's no question that you'll want to be taking care of your body during training. Each time you lift weight, a large amount of stress is placed on the body. Unless something is done to help your body recover during training, fatigue will always be there to ruin your training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, longer recovery time means longer time to reach your goals. The body can lose up to 50% of its glutamine levels during training, and if your immune system or other parts of your body become glutamine-deficient, the muscles' glutamine stores are first to be robbed, creating the risk for catabolism. Help your body progress, not go backwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften overlooked as a simple amino acid, Glutamine is one of the best anti-catabolic ingredients around, so start sending in those reinforcements and supporting your body's battle in the gym or the training field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SK nutrition","offers":[{"title":"400GMS","offer_id":38118242222267,"sku":"","price":39.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 Gms","offer_id":38118242255035,"sku":"","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0540\/6654\/4827\/products\/image_bf5e0aea-d7ed-4ff5-b7e2-dd8e78ca0e4f.jpg?v=1611999399"},{"product_id":"syn-tec-zinadrol","title":"Syn Tec Zinadrol","description":"\u003ch4\u003eDRINK FORMULA\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinadrol Express is presented in a powdered drink base as no fuss way of supporting your nutritional needs by providing a refreshing serve of Zinc, Magnesium and supporting nutrients to support the nutritional profiles of sports specific diets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinadrol Express is formulated as a supplemented food which combines a synergistic blend of Zinc, Magnesium and Prickly Pear plus the beneficial amino acids, Glycine, Taurine and Glutamine supported by Vitamin’s B6 and C for enhanced bioavailability to supply sports people with a premium nutritional supplement to aid them in achieving their nutritional \u0026amp; performance goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinadrol Express is presented in a powdered drink base as no fuss way of supporting your nutritional needs by providing a refreshing serve of Zinc, Magnesium and supporting nutrients to support the nutritional profiles of sports specific diets.

Creatine is a combination of three different amino acids, glycine, arginine, and methionine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWHAT IS IT?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreating is a combination of three different amino acids, glycine, arginine, and methionine. That's it, it is nothing more than a combination of amino acids. Creatine is also produced by the body and found in high protein sources of meat such as fish and red meat. It is NOT a lab synthesized compound, it is natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHOW DOES IT WORK?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine's main action in the body is to store high-energy phosphate groups in the form of phosphocreatine. During periods of stress, phosphocreatine releases this energy to aid cellular function. This mechanism is what causes creatine to increase strength, but can benefit almost every body system, including the brain, bones, muscles, and liver. Most of the benefits of creatine occur through this energy mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother benefit of creatine is that creatine itself is a fuel source. In fact your body's first choice of energy when performing anaerobic activity (such as weightlifting) is your creatine phosphate stores. By supplementing with creatine phosphate you will increase these stores, thus giving you more energy for your workouts. There is another anabolic property that creatine holds and this is its ability to hydrate muscle cells. When muscle cells are hydrated a few things happen. The most notable being an increase in protein synthesis. The second being an increase of ions into the cell. Since the cell is holding more water, it can also hold more ions since the ions will follow water into the cell in order to keep the concentration the same. When more ions are present in muscle cells (the most important being nitrogen) muscle protein synthesis also increases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIS IT NECESSARY TO LOAD ON CREATINE?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo it is not necessary to load but it can help you see results faster. You see to get the full benefit of creating you must saturate your muscle cells with it. Using a small dose (5g), this will take up to thirty days depending on the individual's lean body mass. However using a loading dosage as described below in out Loading Calculator, one can quickly saturate the muscle cells in this time period and then use a maintenance dosage for the remainder of their time taking creatine. We find that this results in the best performance feedback from our customers. (Note out Creatine Loading Calculator is presented in Flash Format and will not work with iOS devices)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIS IT NECESSARY TO CYCLE CREATINE?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce again it is not necessary to do so but it can help. Your body has an internal equilibrium which you can swing in your favour for a duration of time, but over time that equilibrium will eventually swing back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeaning taking excess creatine for a short period of time (4-8 weeks) may temporarily increase your creatine phosphate stores but after a while your body's feedback mechanisms will likely place sometime of control on creatine phosphate storage to bring the levels back down to normal. This mechanism may be to decrease your body's own production of creatine or to downgrade the number receptors that admit creatine into the cell. Taking time off from creatine can help bring your body's equilibrium back into a state where in taking excess creatine will be beneficial again. I would like to make clear at this point that I know of no studies to back this theory up with, it could be right or wrong, I am just merely applying my knowledge of biochemistry to a frequently asked question to which there is no good answer to yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO TAKE CREATINE?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere has been much discussion on this but we believe taking creatine in the morning, pre-workout and post workout are the most beneficial times for several reasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. Insulin helps drive more creatine into muscle cells, if you are a smart bodybuilder then in your post workout meal you should be eating foods that help spike your insulin, if this is the case, then taking creatine with this meal will help it's uptake into muscle cells. 2. The body absorbs many nutrients better first thing in the morning, pre-workout and after a workout. 3. Creatine will help refuel your body's low creatine phosphate stores.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SK nutrition","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":38118242648251,"sku":"","price":39.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":44837759549627,"sku":"","price":59.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":46913629192379,"sku":null,"price":89.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0540\/6654\/4827\/products\/image_58138401-7935-441a-8663-c3ba867da345.jpg?v=1611999409"},{"product_id":"copy-of-pro-crunch-formulated-meal-replacement-bars","title":"Protein Plus Bars  (4 Asst Box Pack) - Formerly called Pro Crunch Bars, Same Formulation","description":"\u003ch1\u003ePROTEIN PLUS BARS -  (4 Asst Box Pack) \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e(Formerly called Pro Crunch Bars)\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cem\u003e**SAME FORMULATION WITH A NEW NAME, NEW PACKAGING**\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 x Asst Box Pack... 48 bars ...
