L-Glutamine

L-Glutamine is a conditional amino acid, meaning that there are reported conditions in which the body is unable synthesize (sufficient) glutamine from other amino acids.

Glutamine is essential for muscular energy during hard exercise.

  • Research shows that after intensely working out, glutamine levels in the body are reduced by as much as 50%.  Supplemented Glutamine helps the body reduce catabolism, or the amount of muscle deterioration that occurs after exercise. 

  • With supplementation other tissues & bodily functions that also require Glutamine will not rob the muscles of L-Glutamine at this critical time for muscular development.

Glutamine helps control the negative biochemical affects resulting from the build up of the waste by-products resulting from hard exercise 

Glutamine is universally recommended for advanced nutritional programs & athletic nutrition.

The usual serving of L-Glutamine is 2 - 10 grams pre exercise.

  • L-Glutamine plays a very important role in optimum protein metabolism and utilization. 

  • Benefit is optimized when combined (or stacked ) with the nitric oxide producer L-Arginine.

  • L Glutamine is a prime source of nitrogen. 

  • L-Glutamine is a molecule containing two nitrogen chains & consists of about 20% nitrogen.

  • Glutamine can also serve as a precursor to the production of glycogen and helps in stabilizing energy levels.
  • Over 60% of free-form amino acids floating in skeletal muscles is L-Glutamine.

Glutamine's effects on replenishing the body after stress or trauma have been medically documented in Europe where L-Glutamine is commonly given to patients in hospitals.

Glutamine is particularly valuable to the body during times of stress.

  • The immune system is said to all but live on glutamine.
  • The body relies on glutamine as cellular fuel for the immune system.
  • It readily crosses the blood / brain barrier and becomes glutamic acid, an important brain fuel.
  • L-Glutamine is necessary for the health of the gastrointestinal tract, especially that of the stomach lining.
  • Glutamine reduces insulin resistance and high blood sugar in animal studies.
  • Glutamine is a well accepted amino acid to increase HGH production by the Anterior Pituitary

  • Glutamine is the most recent amino acid to generate excitement as a HGH releaser, thanks to a 1995 study by Tomas C. Welbourne of Louisiana State University College of Medicine in Shreveport.
    • Welbourne showed in a study that a surprising small oral dose (about 2 grams of glutamine) raised HGH levels more than four times than when the subjects were given a placebo.
    • Even more exciting, age did not diminish the response, at least in this small study of volunteers, who ranged from 32 to 64 years.
