The Mammut BCAA Glutamine Powder is a high-quality powder without preservatives. The finished drink with a refreshing grapefruit flavour is ideal for before and during the workout. One portion contains 5 g of BCAA and 2,5 g of L-glutamine.

BCAA is the short form for ‘branched chain amino acids’. These include L-leucine, L- isoleucine and L-valine. In BCAA Glutamine Powder by Mammut they have an ideal ratio of 2 : 1 : 1 (L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine). BCAA are 3 of 8 essential amino acids which have to be provided by food because the body is not able to develop them by itself. The advantage of BCAA over other amino acids is that they are free amino acids and will be immediately available for the body.

L-glutamine is a non-essential amino acid. Our body uses it for transporting nitrogen. For athletes who do strength and endurance sport it is recommended to take additional amounts of L-glutamine.

In addition, the BCAA Glutamine Powder is optimised with Vitamin C. Vitamins are essential nutrients. The body cannot built them by itself, meaning they have to be supplied by food or supplements. Among other things the contained vitamin C contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to the normal function of the immune system, to normal energy-yielding metabolislm and to protect the cells from oxidative stress.

Mammot recommends daily 1 portion. For a portion mix 10 g (= 2 level scoop) BCAA Glutamine Powder with 200 ml water (room temperature) before and/or during the workout and on days without training directly after getting up. The Mammut BCAA Glutamine Powder is available in the 450 g can.
