I would highly recommend this product! I noticed a big difference in my mood which is especially helpful during the heinous winter time! My appetite seemed less as well which really helps me stay on track with my portioning and meal planning. I did get some nauseousness when I first started taking it but after a couple days - week it went away. |

I really like this product a lot. After about a week I noticed I was actually tired at night which made the transition to sleeping much easier for me. I also noticed an improved mood as well during the day and night. I take one capsule in the morning and one capsule in the evening and this works well for me. |

5-HTP is one of those mood and sleep supplements that you can actually feel. It's subtle, and really that's the point. You don't want to feel dramatically different, as periods of cycling would be a huge issue, let alone the issue of dependency. 5-HTP basically gives a little pick me up to your overall mood, and when taken a few hours before bed, helps with falling asleep quicker and staying in deep sleep. I generally take 5-HTP during the gloomy winter months, or when stress is higher than normal. Usually, 5-HTP has been cost prohibitive to take regularly, but Canadian Protein's price is fantastic! |

In case you hadn’t heard, in the world of bodybuilding and fitness in general, health supplements are kind of a big deal. Each year, the supplement industry rakes in around $37 Billion in the US alone, so factor in worldwide sales, and you can see why everybody is so eager to get in on the action. The problem is that, because there are so many companies out there now opting to create their own supplements, the quality often suffers. This is one thing we severely dislike, which is why we have gone above and beyond what is expected of a supplement company, to create our latest 2kg bulk L-Glutamine supplement, and although we’re probably biased, we think it’s one of the best Glutamine supplements out there. Naturally you’ll want a little more convincing, so take a look at the following, as we look at Glutamine in a lot more detail.
Glutamine is an amino acid… Oh, you wanted more info than that? Okay, not problem. Glutamine is a naturally-occurring amino acid, which can be synthesized naturally within the human body. Because of this, that means that Glutamine is non-essential. Just because we can produce glutamine naturally however, that does not mean that Glutamine is not beneficial when consumed in higher dosages than the body is ordinarily used to. Glutamine is an amino acid, which makes it a building block of protein. What you may also be interested to hear, is that glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found within the human body. More than 61% of skeletal muscle contains glutamine, and as this amino acid is made up of 19% pure Nitrogen, it is a primary transporter of Nitrogen to the cells in your muscles. This is very important when it comes to building muscle, and repairing muscle, and we’ll look at why in just a few moments. Produced in the muscles, glutamine is then transported to the cells around the body via the bloodstream.
Glutamine works in a variety of different ways. To begin with, this amino acid has a reputation for being a key player when it comes to protein synthesis. This process is where the body synthesizes new muscle proteins which are bigger and stronger than the existing ones, and it is how we build muscle after training, and it is how we recover after a tough workout. We need glutamine for our muscles to work, as it plays a key role in skeletal muscle contraction. Glutamine also helps to strengthen the immune system, which is why glutamine supplementation goes beyond just building muscle and looking better without a shirt on. Cells that make up the immune system, such as white blood cells, utilize glutamine as one of their primary sources of energy. The more energy these cells have, the stronger and more effective they become, which means that your immune system becomes stronger as a result. When it comes to muscle growth, glutamine is very important because if the body requires glutamine, in the event of illness, or extreme muscular fatigue, the body will break down muscle tissue in order to obtain the glutamine stored within. This is the last thing you want because it means that the muscle you worked so hard to build, is being destroyed and broken down. Glutamine supplementation helps to ensure that this never happens.
Some of the main advantages associated with using glutamine supplements include the following:
As we just mentioned, if the body’s requirements for glutamine are greater than the body’s ability to naturally produce it, muscle catabolism can set in. This is because the body needs more glutamine than normal, and it has nowhere to obtain it, other than from within the muscles. This is why people often experience muscle loss in times of stress, illness, or during intense spells of physical exercise. If you supplement with glutamine however, you are giving your body more glutamine than it could ever have hoped for, so you reap the benefits, with no drawbacks, as your existing muscle tissue is left alone.
Glutamine is another amino acid that helps to facilitate protein synthesis. This natural process is responsible for allowing the body to repair damaged muscle tissue, and to replace it with bigger and stronger tissue. Basically, protein synthesis is how we are able to build muscle. In order for protein synthesis to occur, a positive Nitrogen balance must be present within the muscles. Glutamine consists of just under 20% Nitrogen, and it is the key transporter of Nitrogen to the cells in your muscles. This ensures that your muscles remain in a constant anabolic state, so that you can continue to build muscle, even in a rested state.
DOMS, or Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, is a natural by-product of training intensely. Have you ever noticed how, after finishing a workout, you ache slightly, but nothing too bad? You go to bed, wake up the next day however, and feel very tender, very sore, and very stiff. This is because of DOMS, and if you’ve ever experienced leg DOMS before, you’ll know how painful they can be. DOMS may indeed show that you’ve had a productive workout, but if you experience severe DOMS the next day, this can actually hinder your performance in the gym. Glutamine assists with muscle recovery after training, which in turn means that your DOMS are less-pronounced and less severe following intense training sessions. This not only helps to keep your pain and discomfort levels low, it also helps to ensure that your workouts remain productive at the same time.
