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. Each teaspoonful provides 4500 mg of L-Glutamine.
