LT9 - L-Glutamine 500g

This extremely popular amino acid can be found In protein powders, beans, meats, fish, poultry, dairy products. Here it is in it's pure state.

Glutamine is highly in demand throughout the body. It is used in the gut and immune system extensively to maintain optimal performance. 60% of free-form amino acids floating in skeletal muscles is L-glutamine. It plays a very important role in protein metabolism, and It appears to be a very important nutrient for all athletes. When supplemented, It may help sports people reduce the amount of muscle deterioration that occurs because other tissues that need glutamine will not use the glutamine stored in the muscle cells.

Research demonstrates that after intensely working out, glutamine levels in the body are reduced by as much as 50%. Since the body relies on glutamine as cellular fuel for the immune system, scientific studies have shown that glutamine supplementation can minimize the breakdown of muscle tissue and improve protein metabolism. Its effects on replenishing the body after stress or trauma have been shown in Europe where It is commonly given to patients in hospitals.

Glutamine's cell-volumizing effects have also been shown in several studies. A recent study also showed up to a 400% increase In growth-hormone levels when as little as 2 grams of free-form L-glutamine supplement was consumed. There are no side effects associated with L-glutamlne, because it is a nutrient naturally occurring In the body. Many athletes are already aware of the benefits for training recovery and muscle building, however many people don't know just how great an overall supplement It really is, not just for athletes and bodybuilders, but for all people. Regardless of lifestyle, everyone benefit from its use.

Possible applications of supplementing with glutamine.

These are some of the direct roles In which glutamine can boost your performance. What is just as important, if not more so in my mind, are the Indirect roles that glutamine can play In building a healthy body. These are things that may not make you into a physical powerhouse but will still aid in keeping your body healthy and free of disease and give you some other benefits now and in the future.

You might not be interested in all of these benefits but even so It would be hard to disagree that glutamine can help anyone function at an overall higher level, regardless of whether you are an athlete or just an average person. At Lonsdale we believe everybody should be benefiting from supplementing with l-glutamlne
