What is omega-3?

 

Omega-3 is a family of fats that are important for health. These "good" fats come in different forms:

ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) is not produced by the body, therefore it must be included in our diet. It has important functions and is necessary to produce other omega-3 fats. ALA is found mainly in vegetable oils, flaxseed, walnuts, hazelnuts and green leafy vegetables.

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These are long-chain fats that can be produced from ALA in our bodies. They produce the most direct health benefits.

 

How to take

 

The recommendation is to take one capsule 3 times a day immediately before, during or after a meal as absorption is better when omega 3 is ingested with food.

 

What is collagen

 

It is the most abundant protein in the human body

 

It is the main component of the connective tissues that make up various parts of the body, including tendons, ligaments, skin and muscles. Collagen has many important functions, including skin structure and bone strengthening. In recent years, collagen supplements have become popular. Most are hydrolyzed, meaning the collagen has been broken down, making it easier to absorb. Consuming collagen may have several health benefits, from relieving joint pain to improving skin health.

 

How to take

 

Consume an average of 10g, twice a day with a meal (at any time).

 

What is glutamine?

 

Glutamine is the most important amino acid in the human body.

 

Amino acids are molecules that play many roles in the body. Their main purpose is to serve as building blocks for proteins. Proteins are crucial for organs. They also have other functions, such as transporting substances in the blood and fighting viruses and bacteria that are harmful to the body.

 

While L-glutamine is used to make proteins and perform other functions, D-glutamine appears to be relatively unimportant in living organisms. L-glutamine can be produced naturally in your body. In fact, it is the most abundant amino acid in blood and other bodily fluids. However, there are times when your body's glutamine needs are greater than its ability to produce it.

It is therefore considered a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning it must be obtained from the diet under certain conditions, such as injury or illness. Additionally, glutamine is an important molecule for the immune system and intestinal health.

 

Dosage

 

Because glutamine is an amino acid naturally produced in the body and found in many foods, there is no concern that it is harmful in normal amounts. It is estimated that a typical diet may contain 3 to 6 grams per day, although this amount may vary based on the types and amounts of food consumed.

Studies on glutamine supplements have used a wide range of doses, ranging from about 5 grams per day to high doses of approximately 45 grams per day for six weeks. Although no negative side effects have been reported with this high dosage, blood safety markers have not been specifically examined. Other studies have reported minimal safety concerns regarding short-term supplementation of up to 14 grams per day.

 

Glutamine supplement will have different effects on different diets. For example: if you eat a high-protein, animal-based diet compared to a low-protein, plant-based diet. If you follow a plant-based diet low in glutamine and take the supplement, you will still receive a normal daily amount of it overall.

Healthy adults who decide to take a glutamine supplement should start with a dose of about 5 grams per day. However, it is always recommended to consult a doctor or nutritionist as each person has different needs, and therefore a specialized professional can advise on the most appropriate dose.

 

How to take

 

You can take it before or after training, depending on your needs and/or goals.

Glutamine taken pre-workout (30 minutes before) helps reduce fatigue and physical effort applied during exercise. Therefore, it reduces fatigue by allowing more repetitions or execution of more exercises.

 

Glutamine ingested post-workout (approximately 30 minutes later) helps to replenish the stores of this amino acid, which become scarce due to physical wear and tear. This prevents muscle catabolism and fatigue. Some nutritionists advise the intake of carbohydrates together with glutamine, when consumed after training, to promote energy replenishment.
