Description

L-glutamine is one of the 20 amino acids. It was once considered a non-essential amino acid because the body can synthesize this substance itself. However, it is now known that during periods of intense exercise, injury, or illness, the need for it can increase so much that the body can no longer produce sufficient amounts of this amino acid. L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in muscles. It serves as a building block for the cell wall, increases cell volume, and creates the conditions for optimal protein synthesis. It also promotes glycogen storage, stimulates the release of growth hormone (HGH), and is converted by the body into glutathione, one of the most important antioxidants.

Advantages

Improves muscle recovery after intense physical exertion. Strengthens body functions and reduces muscle catabolism.

1. What is GLUTA BASE?
GLUTA BASE is a dietary supplement consisting of 100 percent pure fermented L-glutamine . This amino acid is one of the most abundant and important amino acids in the muscular system.

Although the body can produce glutamine, it does so in very limited quantities, so that under certain circumstances, a glutamine deficiency can quickly develop. This primarily occurs in cases of illness, physical exertion, or injury.
In order to prevent glutamine deficiency and to maintain high L-glutamine levels through additional intake, L-glutamine must be added to the body through food, even though it is one of the non-essential amino acids.

Since it is difficult to supply sufficient glutamine through food, GLUTA BASE was developed as a dietary supplement.


2. How does GLUTA BASE work?
This dietary supplement, thanks to L-glutamine, increases, among other things, water retention in the muscle cells, resulting in increased muscle volume, especially after intensive strength and muscle-building training.

It supports improved muscle regeneration and helps build muscle mass. This is because glutamine promotes optimal protein synthesis, which supplies more protein to the muscles and promotes rapid growth of muscle tissue.
During the rest phase after intense muscle strain, the relaxation mode is intensified, regeneration can be accelerated and more effective, and accordingly, more muscle tissue is formed.
It also minimizes muscle loss on non-training days, during illness or during training breaks.

Furthermore, it plays a key role in the structure of the cell wall and ensures that nutrients and minerals can be better absorbed and the muscles can be supplied more optimally.

In addition, taking GLUTA BASE promotes glycogen storage, stimulates growth hormone secretion, and partially converts it to glutathione, which acts as an antioxidant to protect against free radicals. Glycogen, on the other hand, improves energy reserves during intensive training.
At the same time, it has a blood sugar regulating effect and promotes rapid fat loss.


3. When is GLUTA BASE taken?
When taking the product, a distinction is made between training and non-training days. Under heavy muscle strain, the need for glutamine increases noticeably, so on training days the recommended dose is 5 grams four times a day. Ideally, GLUTA BASE is administered in the morning after waking up, before and after training, and in the evening before going to bed.

On non-training days, the dose is reduced to 2 x 5 grams each in the morning and evening.
1 heaped measuring spoon corresponds to 5 grams.


4. Why is GLUTA BASE taken?
Taking GLUTA BASE helps compensate for L-glutamine deficiencies caused by various stressors, as the body cannot produce sufficient amounts of this substance. To prevent muscle breakdown, loss of muscle strength, lack of motivation, reduced energy production, and much more, GLUTA BASE is primarily taken when the body is subjected to certain stresses through exercise or at work.

Additionally, the glutamine in GLUTA BASE helps with infections or trauma caused by blunt sports injuries. It has been proven that various illnesses or injuries can lead to a reduction of L-glutamine in the muscles of up to 50 percent. This results in muscle loss and typical symptoms such as fatigue, exhaustion, and loss of strength. GLUTA BASE with 100 percent glutamine helps accelerate healing processes and maintain or restore vitality even during illness and injury.


5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of GLUTA BASE?

Advantages:

  • Compensates for an L-glutamine deficiency and ensures optimal supply
  • Ensures a better muscle pump
  • Ensures energy supply during heavy loads
  • Accelerates and intensifies muscle regeneration
  • Promotes muscle building and prevents muscle loss
  • Increases performance and muscle strength
  • Protects against free radicals that cause cell damage
  • Contributes to the reduction of body fat
  • Ensures healthy metabolic processes
  • Improves the functionality of the immune system
  • Ideal for endurance and strength athletes


Disadvantages:

  • L-Glutamine may smell sulfurous when stirred into water.


6. Who needs GLUTA BASE?
GLUTA BASE was primarily developed for professional bodybuilders who strive for victory in competitions with steel-hard, 'pumped-up' muscles and who rely on intensive strength and definition training in their training.

For endurance athletes, GLUTA BASE with 100 percent glutamine offers a consistent energy supply and increased muscle growth, which provides more strength in the final stages and thus enables performance for increasing training sessions.

For athletes who are on a break from training, taking it is also beneficial, as muscle loss is minimized and thus it is easier to get back into training.

If you want to lose weight through diet and special training, GLUTA BASE is an optimal dietary supplement that stimulates fat burning so that the pounds fall off faster.

Gluta Base is also suitable for use in certain professions that require a lot of physical effort. Roofers, bricklayers, nursing professionals, lumberjacks, and miners are just a few professions that require endurance, muscle strength, and energy, and strenuous physical activity increases the need for glutamine.


7. What should I look for when buying GLUTA BASE?
The most important details to consider when purchasing L-glutamine supplements are the glutamine content and the quality of the product. Products often contain L-glutamine substitutes or substances designed to increase glutamine production. Not so with GLUTA BASE, which contains 100 percent pure L-glutamine and can therefore offer maximum effectiveness.

Additionally, L-glutamine should be taken long-term, which should be taken into account when purchasing the product in terms of its size. A small GLUTA BASE container is ideal for testing, while purchasing a large container provides months of glutamine and also offers a discounted price.


8. Are there any side effects when taking GLUTA BASE?
Generally, there are no known side effects from taking GLUTA BASE, provided the dosage recommendations are strictly adhered to. It is expected to be well tolerated.
Only sensitive individuals occasionally complain of pressure in the head during the first few days after starting treatment. This usually subsides quickly.

However, an overdose can cause side effects such as bloating and stomach upset. In these cases, the dosage should be reduced accordingly.


9. What else should be considered?
GLUTA BASE with L-Glutamine should only be taken in conjunction with regular exercise or physical exertion at work. Since the body usually produces enough L-glutamine without this, an overdose and subsequent undesirable side effects could occur. This does not affect short-term training absences.

If L-glutamine is exposed to extreme heat, it will denature, resulting in a loss of effectiveness. The same applies if L-glutamine is stored in sunlight for extended periods. The amino acid slowly decomposes and eventually becomes unusable. Therefore, storage in the dark is recommended.

In addition, dietary supplements in capsule form should always be stored out of the reach of children. Gluta Base should not be taken after the expiration date.


10. Why is GLUTA BASE from PROGRESS better than glutamine products from other manufacturers?
Many products from other manufacturers often contain only a small amount of L-glutamine and are not fermented. The developer, founder, and owner of PROGRESS is committed to achieving maximum effectiveness with its nutritional supplements, which can only be achieved with GLUTA BASE through high levels of L-glutamine and a high quality standard.

PROGRESS therefore supplies GLUTA BASE, a 100 percent pure fermented L-glutamine product, for which even the raw materials for production have had to undergo extensive quality management systems.

PROGRESS is also registered as a member of the Informed Sport program and, in accordance with its quality requirements, must meet various strict criteria with GLUTA BASE. Furthermore, the L-glutamine product is manufactured strictly according to Swiss GMP guidelines and is also tested for prohibited and critical substances by the world's most renowned competitive athlete and anti-doping laboratory, LGC.
