List of products by brand Optimum Nutrition
Optimum Nutrition
Optimum Nutrition was founded in 1986 by Michael and Tony Costello. They quickly recognized the opportunity to significantly improve innovation and quality in the field of sports nutrition. The goal was to provide active athletes around the world with high-quality, innovative products. The products are characterized by a pleasant taste and high-quality ingredients. The diverse product range includes, among other things, nutritious bars, protein powders, ready-to-drink sports drinks, vitamins and essential minerals.
High-quality protein powders
The protein powders usually contain a combination of whey protein isolate, concentrate and peptides. During production, the proteins were microfiltered so that they are not denatured. The manufacturer's protein products are rich in L-glutamine and BCAAS. A major advantage of taking them is that the powder dissolves easily and is quickly digested. Digestion is further promoted by the addition of the digestive enzymes aminogen and lactase. You can get the protein powder in different flavors such as vanilla ice cream, rocky road or chocolate mint.
Muscle building and regeneration
BCCA powder is a very important nutritional supplement for athletes and bodybuilders. Optimum Nutrition offers a high-quality powder that contains branched chain amino acids. These are the essential amino acids valine, leucine and isoleucine. Most of the time, the need for amino acids is sufficiently covered by food. However, the need is higher after a particularly hard workout, so athletes can cover the need by taking BCAA powder. This accelerates muscle building and regeneration. BCAAs are a necessary component for transporting nitrogen and energy between the liver and muscles. Protein synthesis is supported by the acids valine, leucine and isoleucine. This means that they help in the production of muscle protein and in muscle building. These three amino acids also regulate blood sugar levels. This prevents age-related muscle loss.
Important for the muscles
The glutamine powder from Optimum Nutrition contains the non-essential amino acid L-glutamine, which is vital for the organism. Above all, it is important for the cells that renew or divide very quickly. These include the muscle cells in the human body. The best-known and most important effect of glutamine is faster, improved muscle regeneration, especially when you do a particularly intensive workout. Glutamine accelerates the replenishment of glycogen stores. This means that your body can regenerate more quickly. It then has more energy available for the next workout. Glutamine also strengthens the immune system. After intensive and long training sessions, the human organism is weakened. This makes it more susceptible to various diseases such as colds. By taking glutamine powder from Optimum Nutrition, you can reduce this risk. Although glutamine is normally produced sufficiently by the body, it is recommended to choose this supplement for particularly intensive training.
