Description

What is Glutamine?

The most abundant of amino acids found in the body, Glutamine (or L-Glutamine) makes up over 60 percent of the skeletal muscle tissue. It is a fuel the digestive tract and immune system craves, and 19 percent of a Glutamine molecule is made up of nitrogen, making it the primary conductor of nitrogen to the muscles. 

How does Glutamine Works?

What Glutamine does is play a vital role in protein metabolism, cell volumizing, increased production and secretion of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and anti-catabolism i.e. the impairment and breakdown of muscle tissue, especially in bodybuilders.

Research findings show that after an intense workout lactic acid build up has occurred in the muscles, but at the same time Glutamine levels are reduced by as much as 50%. Studies have also shown that Glutamine supplementation effectively reduces muscle tissue breakdown and improves protein metabolism.

Who can Benefit from taking Glutamine?

Bodybuilders and strength athletes in particular can benefit from increased intake of Glutamine. As mentioned above, when bodybuilders train, Glutamine levels can drop dramatically. Muscle catabolism can occur when the body robs the muscles of Glutamine to use in the immune system or nitrogen transport. Glutamine supplementation can help reduce the effects of muscle catabolism.
