Muscle Clinic StrongUp is a dietary supplement containing branched chain amino acids (BCAA) and L-glutamine.

BCAAs are essential amino acids, which means that the body is unable to synthesize them on its own and must be supplied with food or supplements. They make up about 35% of the amino acids in muscle protein and are essential for muscle protein synthesis and muscle amino acid conservation.

BCAA supplementation can accelerate muscle recovery after training and reduce the risk of muscle catabolism.

Basic functions of BCAA amino acids

Leucine - has an anti-catabolic effect, stimulates protein synthesis in the muscles, and supports their regeneration. It also affects the effectiveness of the absorption of other amino acids by muscle cells by stimulating the production of insulin

Isoleucine - is responsible for stabilizing the energy level in the body, as well as for regulating blood sugar levels and building hemoglobin

Valine - is responsible for proper growth and is a source of energy, stimulates the body to exercise.

Supplementation with BCAA amino acids can bring many benefits to the body, especially in physically active people. These amino acids are essential for muscle protein synthesis and can help accelerate post-workout muscle recovery and muscle growth. Supplementation with BCAA amino acids also reduces the breakdown of muscle proteins and protects muscles against catabolism.

Glutamine and saving muscle BCAA resources

Glutamine is an amino acid that plays an important role in the human body, especially in physically active people. One of the important effects of glutamine is the sparing of muscle reserves of BCAA amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine).

During intense physical exercise, the body begins to break down muscles for energy, and this leads to the release of BCAA amino acids. However, glutamine is able to convert into BCAA amino acids in the liver, which allows you to conserve the reserves of these amino acids in the muscles.

In addition, glutamine can help increase muscle protein synthesis, which accelerates muscle recovery after training and increases muscle mass. Glutamine supplementation can also help reduce the risk of excessive muscle catabolism that occurs during prolonged physical exercise, which in turn increases endurance and improves the overall condition of the body.

Glutamine can also affect the digestion and absorption of nutrients , especially protein and carbohydrates.
