Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
What are these two powders good for, does anyone know. I heard a few people put them in their protein shakes, can you tell me why? Also since I still drink protein shakes at least once a day is this something I should invest in and if so any particular brand, thanks guys.
Creatine helps supply energy to muscles. Bodybuilder take it to aid in building muscle. I took it to try to maintain muscle mass.
L Glutamine The evidence suggests l glutamine helps protect the lining of the gastrointestinal tract (mucosa). It also plays an important roll in helping the body recover from illness or injury.

"Max Glutamine, pure HPLC tested crystalline L-Glutamine powder. Produced in the body naturally, Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in skeletal muscle and is often depleted due to training, stress, and poor diet. Research indicates that... active people often do not produce enough Glutamine within their liver to restore critical Glutamine levels within a reasonable time frame following training.
"Glutamine is involved in more metabolic processes than any other amino acid. Glutamine is converted to glucose when more glucose is required by the body as an energy source. It serves as a source of fuel for cells lining the intestines. Without it, these cells waste away. It is also used by white blood cells and is important for immune function. In hospitals, Glutamine is used for patients that have severe burns to speed recovery and prevent muscle wasting.
Supplemental Glutamine can be utilized to repair trained muscles and support the natural production of human growth hormone, which is important to muscle recovery and gains. Glutamine can also support the immune system".

I haven't used creatine but here is some info.
"Creatine is produced naturally in the body and is used in muscle to replenish ATP (energy) stores. By supplementing with Max Creatine Monohydrate you can super saturate your muscles with creatine which in turn increases the water content of your muscles. By increasing the water content you also increase the ability of the muscle to perform protein synthesis. After exercise an increase in protein synthesis can often lead to better recovery and faster muscle gain".
