Basix L-Glutamine
- L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in skeletal muscle and one of the first to be depleted during intense training.
- Supports muscle recovery by reducing breakdown, repairing damaged tissue, and maintaining muscle protein balance.
- Plays a key role in immune function, as glutamine is a primary fuel source for immune cells stressed by intense exercise.
- Unflavoured powder that mixes easily into any shake, water, or post-workout drink.
Product Details
Glutamine is the most abundant and conditionally essential amino acid in the human body. During intense training, glutamine levels in the body are greatly depleted, which can limit muscle protein synthesis and thereby result in muscle breakdown. By supplementing with L-Glutamine, you’re therefore ensuring your body has an adequate supply of glutamine to maintain a positive protein balance to reduce muscle soreness and protect yourself from muscle mass breakdown.
Basix L-Glutamine powder supplies 5g of glutamine per serving, which works to replenish the glutamine used during training. It also supports your muscle recovery, exercise performance, immune system, energy, and brain function. Basix L-Glutamine powder is perfectly tasteless and odorless, and can conveniently be added to water, protein shakes, or juice, and has great solubility through micritization. Our L-Glutamine powder is ideal for athletes who want to prevent problems associated with intensive training and for anyone who would like to recover faster from over-training.
Basix L-Glutamine powder key benefits:
- Provides anti-catabolic effects & supports muscle function.
- Supports faster recovery post-workout.
- Improves muscle hydration, by allowing your muscles to push harder and longer, as well as supports faster recovery.
- Halal-Certified.
fequently asked question
Does L-Glutamine directly build muscle?
Its primary role is anti-catabolic, protecting against muscle breakdown, and supporting recovery and immune function. These conditions indirectly support muscle-building, but glutamine itself does not directly stimulate muscle protein synthesis the way essential amino acids do.
When is the best time to take it?
Post-workout is the most effective timing, as muscle glutamine is most depleted after training. It can also be taken before sleep or at any point during the day as part of a consistent routine.
Is glutamine found in food?
Yes. It is found in meat, fish, eggs, dairy, and some plant sources. However, dietary intake is often insufficient to offset the rapid depletion caused by intense training.
Can it be stacked with EAAs or whey?
Yes. Glutamine is commonly paired with whey and EAAs. Note that Basix Complete 10 EAAs + Glutamine already includes glutamine; taking standalone L-Glutamine on top will increase your total daily dose.
Who benefits most from glutamine supplementation?
Athletes with high training volumes who push their immune system and recovery hard. It is also valued by those who train while in a calorie deficit, where muscle breakdown risk is elevated.
