L Glutamine 100 Servings

Glutamine^TM is 100% pure, pharmaceutical-grade L-Glutamine. L-Glutamine is a naturally-occurring amino acid that accounts for nearly 60% of the amino acids found in the body and approximately 30% of amino acids found in plasma. Research suggests that L-Glutamine supports post-training recovery, reduces soreness, minimizes catabolism, increases protein synthesis, and boosts the immune system.

The majority of L-Glutamine is produced in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. L-Glutamine is typically classified as a conditionally-essential amino acid since it is produced in the body, but needs to be replenished after it is released from the body during periods of extreme stress or trauma, including intense exercise. L-Glutamine is synthesized in the lungs, liver and brain, and is also naturally found in beans, poultry, fish, and dairy products. It is predominantly used for fuel by the small intestine, immune system, hair follicles, and gastrointestinal tract.

Intense exercise can quickly deplete L-Glutamine in muscle cells, suppressing and compromising the body’s immune system. It can also elevate the stress hormone Cortisol, which interferes with muscle protein synthesis (mTOR) and muscle repair. Studies have shown that L-Glutamine actually blocks the interference of Cortisol, and helps the body remain in a state of anabolism, which ensures the preservation of existing muscle tissue. This anti-catabolic effect can be tremendously beneficial to athletes and bodybuilders.

Glutamine^TM is a staple for anyone who is serious about maintaining a healthy exercise routine.*
