This new product contains 100%
of the finest L-Glutamine available on the market today. Essential to
maintaining muscle mass and encouraging growth, athletes have praised
this product for its effectiveness.
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, comprising more
than 60% of the free amino acid pool in skeletal muscle and greater
than 20% of total circulating amino acids. Supplemental L-Glutamine
may help reduce muscle soreness and rebuild muscle tissue.
During stressful situations (i.e.
heavy resistive weight training) the body can lose a large amount of
glutamine. A loss of glutamine during exercise may be a signal for protein
catabolism (muscle breakdown). Glutamine supplementation has been shown
to prevent the loss of body mass through the positive role glutamine
plays in protein synthesis and its action as a potent anabolic agent.
When muscle glutamine levels are restored and in a positive nitrogen
balance muscle synthesis can return to a normal rate.
Glutamine also has actions on
glucose metabolism and the regulation of gluconeogenesis. Glutamine
converts to glucose without changes in either insulin or glucagen, the
hormones that regulate blood sugar. During dieting, and times of carbohydrate
depletion, glutamine can exert positive effects on the amount of body
fat loss as well as the retention of lean body mass.
