MetaPhysics JOINT FORMULA is the ideal supplement for intense training athletes to assist injury recovery and help injury prevention or anyone who has experienced joint, tendon or ligament problems.

Joint Formula contains Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM and essential co-factors that provide joints and ligaments with vital nutritional building blocks. Glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate are substances naturally found in and around the cells of cartilage. The body produces and distributes glucosamine in cartilage and other connective tissue, and chondroitin sulphate is a compound that acts as a lubricating fluid in connective tissues within joints, helping cartilage retain water and making it more elastic.

L Glutamine

L-Glutamine

Free form amino acid powder.
Supports nitrogen retention - Supports recovery
The most abundant amino acid in muscles
5 - 10 grams daily

250 Grams @ A$37.50
500 Grams @ A$69.00


L-Glutamine is a Free Form Amino Acid.  Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein.  Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in your body and is highly concentrated in muscle tissue.  It makes up 60% of the amino acid pool in muscle cells. 

When you train intensely with weights, your muscles break down or go into a catabolic state.  You lose nitrogen and Glutamine during the breakdown stage.  After you finish training, over the next 48 hours your body repairs itself (known as the anabolic stage).  By supplementing with L-Glutamine before and after training you can support muscle repair.

How much and when should you take L-Glutamine?
On training days take 2.5 to 5 grams before and after training.  On non-training days take 5 grams before breakfast. It can be mixed with water or juice.

How long should you use L-Glutamine for?
A cycle of 4 - 6 weeks combined with Creatine Monohydrate will produce the best results.

How is Metaphysics L-Glutamine different from other brands?
It is a special pure powder form manufactured in Japan.   It has high absorption rates and a neutral taste.
