Dual power of Glutamine and BCAA for recovery
- increases protein synthesis
- prevents catabolic state
- accelerates muscle recovery
One of the key stages in any active person’s routine is recovery from exercise. It ensures that your muscles get the time to restore their glycogen stores and address any damage caused by exercise. To give your muscles a hand, consider trying Maxler BCAA plus Glutamine powder after your workouts.
What are BCAAs?
Branched chain amino acids, BCAAs, are three amino acids that our body requires, but cannot synthesize. They boost musclebuilding and help our cells take in glucose from the blood, fueling the muscles. These are great for recovering from endurance and strength training and make you feel less tired after working out.
What is Glutamine?
Glutamine is another amino acid. White blood cells use it as a fuel source, and it maintains the integrity of our intestinal lining. We also use a lot of glutamine when we exercise, so it’s important to replenish it.
Glutamine is a particularly good amino acid for recovery, as it:
- Lessens inflammation that occurs due to muscle damage;
- Decreases feelings of tiredness;
- Reduces soreness and loss of strength.
Why combine them?
During exercise, the body may run into a situation where it cannot make enough glutamine to keep up with the need for it. Therefore, it can start using BCAAs to make glutamine. Having glutamine in the supplement allows the body to use the BCAAs for musclebuilding and recovery instead of simply as a building block for glutamine.
For those who would like to recover quicker, BCAA plus Glutamine can be an overlooked option with plenty of overall benefits.
Useful apart, but stronger together
BCAAs and glutamine are highly effective independently, participating in musclebuilding in their own way. During periods of stress, like workouts and dieting, the need for glutamine increases and the body cannot make the sufficient amount. With BCAAs being essential (not synthesized in the body), supplementing those 4 amino acids provides the body with much needed support.
Simple formula for complex results
A combination of BCAAs and glutamine ensures muscle growth, tones down muscle breakdown, and allows for a clean and smooth recovery, locking all your gains in and supporting your strive to get more.

Why use amino acids instead of complete protein?
Protein powders can increase your overall protein intake, thus supporting muscle building in general. Using specific amino acids has the advantage of promoting only specific processes, such as recovery in this case. The amino acids you choose are tailored to the goal you want to achieve.
What is the benefit of BCAA plus glutamine?
Each serving of this vegan and sugar-free supplement contains the optimal ratio of BCAAs – 2:1:1, with leucine being preferred. Leucine boosts muscle growth. Each serving contains 3 g of glutamine. The excellent flavors make it easy to consume before, during, or after training.
When should I take BCAA+Glutamine?
If you want to feel less fatigued after a workout while also promoting muscle growth, BCAA plus glutamine could help. It's also a great supplement for those looking to lose weight, as both BCAAs and glutamine have been shown to contribute to weight loss. It may also be beneficial for those recovering from illness or injury.
What types of amino acids are contained in BCAA+Glutamine?
There are three types of amino acids for protein formation: essential, meaning those we must obtain from our diet; non-essential, meaning those we can produce ourselves; and conditionally essential, meaning that under certain circumstances we need more of them than we can produce ourselves, and therefore must obtain them from our diet. Essential BCAAs are leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Glutamine is conditionally essential—we normally produce enough of it, but we may need more during physical exertion or illness.
