Universal Nutrition Glutamine Powder, Universal - 600g

Glutamine is the most plentiful amino acid in the body and it is released in times of stress, specifically during heavy exercise. Gluatmine is a main actor in protein synthesis. Not only does it offer cells energy but it also keeps the pH in the kidneys balanced and plays a role in many anabolic processes.

Glutamine is a non-essential nutrient in that the body regularly produces it but supplementing glutamine in the diet can make these functions more efficient. Bodybuilders have a particular interest in glutamine because it helps to maintain muscle mass. Those trying to build muscle use a large amount of the body's natural glutamine when exercising as it plays a role in energy and anabolic processes.

To prevent the breakdown of muscle due to glutamine being used for exercising, it is smart to supplement with glutamine powder. This supplement can slow down the rate of muscle deterioration and can also boost protein synthesis. Protein synthesis is necessary to build muscles and boost immunity.

Glutamine is an amino acid that is extremely versatile and used consistently by athletes. It not only detoxifies ammonia but also acts as a nitrogen precursor and transfer, facilitates cellular hydration, promotes the production of growth hormone, keeps acids balanced and increases the liver's production of glycogen.

Glutamine is simultaneously anabolic and anti-catabolic as is our body. This means that our body is constantly going through a cycle of protein synthesis and protein break down. Glutamine is taken from the muscles during catabolism or recovery. This is when we build the most muscle mass, not during the workout as many people believe.

Glutamine makes up approximately 60% of the body's total intramuscular free amino-acid pool and 20% of the amino acids circulating throughout the body. Glutamine is one of the only amino acids that contains two nitrogen atoms. These extra nitrogens give glutamine it's moniker of the nitrogen shuttle as it brings nitrogen to where it is needed. Generally, it is suggested that glutamine powder supplements should be taken about thirty minutes after a workout. As with any supplement, it is recommended that you start out introducing glutamine to the body with a small dose and increase it as you see the way in which your body reacts.

After a particularly difficult workout, glutamine can be depleted by up to 50%, requiring some form of supplement to rebuild the stores.

Glutamine Powder Product Details:

Glutamine is one of the most versatile of all amino acids, and among the top aminos used by elite athletes. Among its many functions, glutamine detoxifies ammonia, regulates protein synthesis and protein degradation, functions as a nitrogen precursor and transfer, promotes cellular hydration, stimulates growth hormone production, maintains acid balance, boosts the immune system, is an energy precursor and increases glycogen production in the liver.

In short, glutamine is both anabolic and anti-catabolic. Glutamine accounts for about 60% of the body's total intramuscular free amino-acid pool and 20% of the total circulating amino acids. Unlike almost all other aminos, glutamine contains two nitrogen atoms. Because of this additional nitrogen atom, glutamine is called a nitrogen "shuttle". Glutamine transports nitrogen where the body needs it most.
