Fitness Together

Commonly usedFitnessIntroduction to the characteristics of supplements

Fitness training is like a moving train, and our nutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fats...) are the raw materials that drive the train. And our fitness supplements are the catalyst. Only a sufficient supply of raw materials may keep the train running steadily, but adding a catalyst can make it move quickly.

In the vast world of muscles, there are many types of auxiliary products. Some of them directly act on muscles, and some can maintain endurance and make you HIGH. Each has different effects and is suitable for different stages of fitness. Enthusiasts, so choosing the right fitness products is the key!

1. Just increasing glutamine is not enough, you must also prevent shrinkage

Taking time: 20 minutes before exercise or 20 minutes after exercise

Why Supplement: Its focus is on preventing muscle atrophy. Because high-intensity training interferes with the immune system, within the first 5 minutes of training, glutamine levels will rise and catabolic hormones will be released. But the bad news for trainers does not end there. Even after training has ended, glutamine will still be released from the muscles, causing muscle loss, cell dehydration and other phenomena.

Note: Glutamine can promote rapid cell division., it not only promotes normal cells, but also strengthens some mutant cells, such as cancer cells, so it cannot be consumed for a long time.

2. Branched-chain amino acids retain “temper-prone” proteins

Taking time: 30~60 minutes before training or within 30 minutes after training

Why supplement: When you exercise a lot, the rate of protein synthesis decreases and protein decomposition is accelerated. Branched-chain amino acids make up almost 1/3 of muscle protein. When you want to train more Stimulating and fueling your muscles at a cellular level is necessary for a stronger, more powerful body, so you must take branched-chain amino acids to prevent protein breakdown and muscle loss.
