Product Review - GL-6 by Sports One

Many glutamine products on the market have their enhancements based on specific glutamine variants, such as those that are peptide bonded or bonded with another highly absorbable substance optimizing transport and assimilation. What makes GL-6 interesting is that it's specifically formulated to scale the absorption effectiveness beyond that associated with normal glutamine. This is what users want, but it has a major challenge. Increased nitrogen retention and its continued sustenance at maximum levels within the blood stream will at some point adversely affect turnover, as the body at certain intervals must release some nitrogen through waste associated with macro-nutrient turnover. In other words, to avoid symptoms or minimize risk of irregularity, increase the fiber intake (FiberSOL) proportionately to consumption of glutamine and protein.

This product can sharply accelerate recovery and mass gains, especially when stacked with other anti-catabolics such as HMB and CISSUS just prior to intense training and with protein (i.e., Syntrax Nectar Whey Protein Isolate) afterwards. A considerable portion of the issue of sports supplement effectiveness is tied directly to delivery systems associated with the core substance for almost any given product. For example, glutamine alpha-ketoglutarate or glutamine AKG is really NO2 bonded glutamine designed to increase nitrogen concentration in the blood stream in significant part by expanding the arterial wall in response to nitric oxide production.

This can actually increase the volume capacity of the cardiac system for a number of different supplements. Malic acid, as also bonded to glutamine in GL-6 also intensifies absorption, thus leading to higher nitrogen concentrations. But it gets more interesting, as its Acetyled Glutamine component may bypass the blood-brain barrier and act as a tertiary catalyst in cognitive support, while optimizing the brain's HPT axis and GHRH production. Therefore, GL-6 may have target nootropic properties, and can therefore be used in brain function as well as bodybuilding and powerlifting recovery supplement stacks.
