BOOSTERS BENEFITS
MATCHA
- Antioxidant Rich: Matcha is packed with antioxidants, helping to fight off free radicals and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
- Enhanced Focus: its unique combination of L-theanine and caffeine promotes alertness and concentration without jitters.
- Metabolism Booster: matcha may increase metabolic rate and support weight loss efforts by promotion fat oxidation and regulating blood sugar levels.
- Detoxification and immune support: The chlorophyll content aids detoxification, while its nutrients support immune function, protecting against illnesses.
GLUTAMINE
- Support Muscle Growth and Recovery: Glutamine is a vital nutrient for muscle growth and repair. During intense exercise or stress, glutamine stores in the muscles can become depleted.
- Boost Immune Function: Glutamine is essential for the proper function of the immune system. It serves as a primary fuel source for immune cells, such as lymphocytes and macrophages, which play crucial roles in defending the body against infections and illnesses
- Support Digestive Health: Glutamine is important for maintaining the integrity of the intestinal lining. It helps prevent "leaky gut" by promoting the growth of intestinal cells and maintaining the barrier function of the gut. This can be especially beneficial for individuals with gastrointestinal disorder, such as irritable bowl syndrome (IBS) or inflammatory bowel decease (IBD)
- Enhance Exercise Performance: Glutamine supplementation has been shown to improve exercise performance and reduce fatigue, particularly during prolonged or intense training sessions.
