Glutamine
GL3, 2-Aminoglutaramic Acid, is a pure L-Glutamine supplement in crystalline
powder form. Glutamine has become more prominent as new studies reveal its unique
contribution to protein synthesis (muscle growth), anti-proteolytic (prevents muscle
tissue breakdown) functions and growth hormone elevating effects.
"Did You Know That Glutamine is Solely Responsible For Over 35% of The Nitrogen
That Enters The Muscle?"
Glutamine provides a critical link in muscle metabolism not shared by any other
single amino acid, and GL3 makes utilizing glutamine a realistic and effective endeavor.
GL3 is pure, pharmaceutical grade L-Glutamine in an odorless and tasteless powder.
Glutamine is the most abundant single amino acid in the blood and in the
intracellular free amino acid pool (most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue).
It comprises 61% of the amino acid pool in skeletal muscle. Glutamine�s unique structure,
containing two nitrogen side chains, consists of 19% nitrogen - making it the primary
transporter of nitrogen into the muscle cell. In fact, glutamine alone is responsible
for 35% of the nitrogen that gets into the muscle cell. Glutamine literally drives
muscle building nitrogen into the muscle cell where it is synthesized for growth.
Glutamine concentrations fall markedly after training and remain low until complete
recovery. What this means is, the very rigors of weight training �leak� nitrogen
carrying glutamine from muscle tissue. This fall in glutamine is catabolic to muscle
tissue - �The Training Paradox�. Supplementing with glutamine spares free glutamine
in muscle tissue, counteracts the fall in muscle protein synthesis, and improves
nitrogen balance. Glutamine overcomes �The Training Paradox�.
You train with weights to build muscle. The more intensely you train, and the
heavier the overload you subject your muscles to, the greater the growth response
will be.
Glutamine is a key factor in muscle growth, and controlling the �skeletal muscle/whole
body glutamine gradient� is critical in maintaining and building muscle tissue.
The higher the muscle glutamine levels you can maintain, the less chance you have
of falling into catabolism and the faster muscle will grow. But now there
is more . . .
We all know growth hormone is an important anabolic hormone. The most
important anabolic hormone! It regulates the metabolic processes (including protein
synthesis) in almost all tissues throughout the human lifespan. Growth hormone provokes
several anabolic actions on skeletal muscle: the uptake of glucose and amino acids,
activation of muscle protein synthesis, suppression of muscle protein catabolism,
and the utilization of body fat for energy.
"A New Study In The 'American Journal Of Clinical Nutrition' Is Set To Shock
The Sports Nutrition World!"
Now for the exciting news -
In a recent release of the prestigious American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,
the results of a study on glutamine revealed that a single 2 gram oral dose of glutamine
elevated circulating growth hormone levels by over 430%! That�s right - 430%! Significant?
You bet your ass it is. With GL3 you�ll be able to effortlessly increase your growth
hormone levels by over 430%!
By keeping a consistently high level of circulating growth hormone, you are able
to combat the catabolic effects of weight training, harness the anabolic activity
of increased glucose and amino acid uptake, improve whole body nitrogen retention,
and increase lean tissue protein accrual. Supplementing with GL3 L-Glutamine may
just be the most effective way of assisting new muscle growth!
