Product Description : 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.
