| 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.
