NutriSport Glutamine Powder 500g

Glutamine is important in muscle anabolic processes and cell volumisation. It is the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue and carries the amino groups essential for re-growth and repair of all tissues. Glutamine levels are depleted during exercise and supplementation may prevent excess muscle breakdown.

Exercise can lead to a decrease in plasma glutamine levels. Studies have shown that power athletes can have particularly low plasma glutamine. It also affects endurance athletes -after running a marathon, glutamine levels are low for 6-9 hours. Low plasma glutamine is an indicator of overtraining.
Glutamine has been linked with the following:

Improved gut barrier function and reduced risk of endotoxaemia

Nutritional support for immune system and prevention of infection

Stimulation of muscle glycogen re-synthesis

Stimulation of muscle protein synthesis and muscle tissue growth

Reduction in muscle soreness and improved muscle tissue repair

Glutamine deficiency has been observed after surgery, burns and other stresses as well as exercise. For this reason it is called a conditionally essential amino acid.

Recommended Directions:
Take 1 rounded teaspoon (4500mg) daily between meals or immediately after training. Dissolve in warm drink or water.
