When your primary concern is building muscle, there’s a few things you need to focus on each day -- eating ample calories, training intensely by following the principles of progressive overload, and getting enough rest. But sometimes that’s not enough. Sometimes your body is missing those key nutrients it needs throughout the day to repair, replenish and rebuild your mind and muscles.

BCAA Resurgence is your all day, every day muscle-building insurance policy that provides the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals to promote optimal muscle growth and recovery.

Say goodbye to soreness, achiness, lethargy, and lackluster gains once and for all with BCAA Resurgence!

HICA Scientifically known as Alpha-Hydroxy-Isocaproic-Acid, or Leucic Acid, HICA is a metabolite of Leucine that works in conjunction with other active amino acids present in BCAA Resurgence to stimulate muscle growth and accelerate recovery.

Theobromine A relative of caffeine, theobromine is a xanthine-like molecule that stimulates the CNS similar to caffeine but energy surge is much smoother and longer-lasting. Additionally, theobromine also enhances vasodilation, promoting superior cerebral blood flow for greater focus and concentration.

CDP-Choline Choline is an essential nutrient that plays a critical role in gene expression, cell membrane signaling, lipid transport, metabolism, and brain development. CDP-Choline is a highly bioavailable form of supplemental choline that increases synthesis of acetylcholine (a.k.a. “The learning neurotransmitter"). Higher levels of acetylcholine promote greater focus, concentration, and the ever-important mind-muscle connection during exercise.

L-Leucine (2g) Dubbed the “king” of all amino acids, Leucine is one of the three branched-chain amino acids, along with Isoleucine and Valine, that play a key role in muscle growth. Leucine is the primary stimulator of muscle protein synthesis by activating the mTOR pathway which flips the switch in your body to build muscle.

L-Isoleucine (1g) Another one of the BCAAs that can stimulate muscle protein synthesis, but to a lesser extent than leucine. However, isoleucine does play a significant role in glucose uptake and utilization during exercise, resulting in greater energy production and performance. Isoleucine may also play a role in fat loss, as some research indicates the amino acid inhibits fat storage and increases fat burning.

L-Valine (1g) The third BCAA, Valine supports greater endurance and reduced fatigue while training. Valine competes with tryptophan (another amino acid) for uptake into the brain (and wins!), leading to decreased serotonin production. The brain interprets serotonin as an indicator of fatigue, so with less serotonin, you’ll be able to push harder for longer during your lifting sessions.

L-Lysine (1g) supports the production of carnitine, a compound that helps convert fatty acids into useable energy. Lysine also enhances calcium absorption, and works in conjunction with L-arginine to increase growth hormone (GH) production.

L-Taurine (1g) A conditionally essential amino acid, taurine exerts a number of beneficial effects in the body. Taurine enhances cellular hydration, promoting greater endurance and stamina, and also improves mood and focus due to large concentrations of the amino being present in the brain.

Threonine (950mg) supports optimal functioning of the cardiovascular, liver, central nervous, and immune systems of the body. Research notes that Threonine also helps maintain the protein balance in the body and accelerate recovery from an injury.

L-Alanine (500mg) plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, even though it’s classified as a nonessential amino acid. Additionally, alanine can also convert to pyruvate, a compound essential for glucose production and blood sugar regulation.

Methionine (300mg) vital to the production of creatine and carnitine in the body. As a result, this essential amino acid aids energy production, athletic performance, cellular hydration, and most importantly, lean mass gains..

Phenylalanine (150mg) As a precursor to tyrosine, phenylalanine increases production of three key neurotransmitters -- dopamine, epinephrine, and adrenaline. These three neurotransmitters enhance alertness and mood, and serve a critical role in muscle activation.

For an amino acid boost, take one (1) scoop first thing in the morning.

For pre-workout energy, take one (1) to two (2) scoops 30 minutes before training.

For post-workout recovery, take one (1) to two (2) scoops immediately after training.

PROMOTE RECOVERY, GUT HEALTH, AND IMMUNE SYSTEM FUNCTION WITH GLUTAMINE

GLUTAMINE IS TECHNICALLY CLASSIFIED AS A NON-ESSENTIAL AMINO ACID SINCE THE BODY CAN PRODUCE IT ENDOGENOUSLY. GLUTAMINE IS ALSO FOUND IN VARIOUS PROTEIN-RICH FOODS, SUCH AS DAIRY, MEAT, TOFU, POULTRY, AND FISH.

HOWEVER, MANY WOULD ARGUE THAT GLUTAMINE IS AT LEAST CONDITIONALLY ESSENTIAL SINCE THERE ARE SPECIFIC TIMES WHEN THE BODY COULD BENEFIT FROM HAVING MORE THAN IT CAN SYNTHESIZE ON ITS OWN, SUCH AS ILLNESS, INJURY, OR EXTREME STRESS (I.E. INTENSE EXERCISE & DIETING). FURTHERMORE, GLUTAMINE IS ONE OF THE MOST ABUNDANT AMINO ACIDS IN THE BODY AND IS INVOLVED IN A LOT MORE THAN JUST MUSCLE PROTEIN SYNTHESIS.

GLUTAMINE PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE IN YOUR IMMUNE, GASTROINTESTINAL, AND MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEMS. IN FACT, SUPPLEMENTING WITH GLUTAMINE MAY BE EVEN MORE BENEFICIAL FOR IMMUNE FUNCTION AND GUT HEALTH THAN ENHANCING MUSCLE RECOVERY. SOME EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT GLUTAMINE UTILIZATION OF IMMUNE AND GASTROINTESTINAL CELLS IS HIGHER THAN GLUCOSE. THIS INDICATES THAT GLUTAMINE IS THE PREFERRED FUEL SOURCE FOR THESE CELLS, WHICH IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER SYSTEM IN THE BODY. THE MAJORITY OF OTHER CELLS PRIMARILY USE GLUCOSE AS OPPOSED TO GLUTAMINE.

GLUTAMINE IS CONSIDERED TO BE ESSENTIAL FOR A NUMBER OF IMMUNE FUNCTIONS, SUCH AS LYMPHOCYTE PROLIFERATION, CYTOKINE PRODUCTION, NEUTROPHIL ACTIVITY, AND MACROPHAGES PHAGOCYTOSIS. ALL OF THESE FUNCTIONS ARE IMPORTANT FOR IDENTIFYING AND REMOVING FOREIGN PATHOGENS, WHICH HELP PREVENT ILLNESS. THEREFORE, INDIVIDUALS WITH SUPPRESSED IMMUNE SYSTEMS WOULD LIKELY BENEFIT THE MOST FROM GLUTAMINE SUPPLEMENTATION.

IN TERMS OF GUT HEALTH, GLUTAMINE IS ALSO A PRIMARY FUEL SOURCE FOR SEVERAL CELLS THAT RESIDE IN THE GASTROINTESTINAL LINING. GLUTAMINE IS NECESSARY FOR THE CONSERVATION OF GUT VILLI, WHICH ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR INHIBITING BACTERIA FROM ENTERING THE BODY. MOREOVER, GLUTAMINE IS INVOLVED IN ENTEROCYTE PROLIFERATION, REGULATION OF TIGHT JUNCTION PROTEINS, SUPPRESSION OF PRO-INFLAMMATORY SIGNALING PATHWAYS, AND IS A POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT THAT PROTECTS HEALTHY CELLS FROM OXIDATIVE STRESS.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, CONSUMING EXTRA GLUTAMINE OFFERS SEVERAL HEALTH BENEFITS, BUT WHAT ABOUT MUSCLE RECOVERY?

A FEW STUDIES SHOW THAT SUPPLEMENTING WITH GLUTAMINE AROUND EXERCISE CAN DECREASE MUSCLE SORENESS AND IMPROVE STRENGTH RECOVERY. HOWEVER, A LARGE PROPORTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL GLUTAMINE IS USED BY THE GASTROINTESTINAL AND IMMUNE SYSTEMS, SO NOT MUCH IS LEFT FOR THE SKELETAL MUSCLES. NONETHELESS, A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING IMMUNE AND GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE.

IN SUMMARY, SUPPLEMENTING WITH GLUTAMINE MAY:

• IMPROVE RECOVERY
• PROMOTE GUT HEALTH
• SUPPORT IMMUNE FUNCTION

Description

BioHealth's Glutamine is formulated to increase endurance, help with muscle recovery and support the immune system. This unflavored powder mixes easily in water so it can be added to your favorite Biohealth protein, or meal replacement, without any nasty aftertaste. It also GMO-Free, Gluten-Free and vegan-friendly. 

Why Use L-Glutamine?

Glutamine is the most prevalent amino acid used in the body and is essential for muscle development. Glutamine levels in the body may be exhausted faster than the body can replenish them during exercise. Using a glutamine supplement pre and post-workout provides amino acid replenishment so muscle tissue is unaffected by any deficiency. Glutamine is also a critical part of the immune system. It's a necessary fuel source for intestinal cells and white blood cells, which can decrease infections and support overall immune health. If you’re looking to take your current supplement regimen to the next level, look no further!

Directions

Take 1-2 scoops with 6-8 oz of water, juice or protein drink of choice after your workout. Glutamine may be taken multiple times daily like before workout and before sleep as well. 

50 servings per container.

Glutamine provides benefits for protein synthesis, improves muscle cell volumization, and optimizes recovery in the gym. Glutamine, by Blackstone Labs, contains 99.5% pure Glutamine for muscle support.

L-Glutamine (5g) is one of the most abundant amino acids in the body. Research shows that glutamine provides various benefits in terms of immunity, muscle protein synthesis, recovery, and gut health. Glutamine actually supplies 35% of nitrogen to muscles to synthesize proteins. The benefits of maintaining a high nitrogen balance in the muscle prevents muscle breakdown, therefore retaining more muscle. This equates to a leaner you! A leaner you means you have less body fat, so, in essence, glutamine may help with the reduction of overall body fat.

As a dietary supplement, mix one (1) scoop daily with4oz water post-workout. Do not exceed one (1) serving per day. Keep in a cool, dry place away from light.
