WHAT IS GLUTAMINE?

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in your skeletal muscle and is believed to help with muscle cell volumization.

HOW DOES GLUTAMINE WORK?

During intense training, glutamine levels are greatly depleted in your body, which decreases strength, stamina and recovery. Supplementing with glutamine can minimize muscle breakdown and improve protein metabolism.

CAN GLUTAMINE STIMULATE GROWTH HORMONE PRODUCTION?

A recent study showed up to a 400% increase in growth-hormone levels when as little as 2 grams of free-form L-glutamine supplement was consumed!

• Are there any side effects with Glutamine Supplementation?
  There are no reported side effects to normal glutamine dosages, however taking too much may lead to stomach upsets.
• How are essential and non-essential amino acids different?
  The body is able to make non-essential amino acids from other amino acids in the body. However, the body is not able to make essential amino acids and the only way to get them is by eating high quality protein foods. Protein sources that contain all of the essential amino acids are called complete proteins. Whey protein is a naturally complete protein.
• What is Glutamine?
  Glutamine is the most common amino acid found in your muscles - over 61% of skeletal muscle is Glutamine. Glutamine consists of 19% nitrogen, making it the primary transporter of nitrogen into your muscle cells.
  
  During intense training, Glutamine level are greatly depleted in your body, which decreases levels of strength, stamina and recovery.
• What are the benefits of Glutamine Supplements?
  Studies have shown that L-Glutamine supplementation can minimize the breakdown of muscle and improve protein metabolism.
  
  As Glutamine plays key roles in protein metabolism, cell volumizing, and anti-catabolism it also increases the bodies ability to secrete Human Growth Hormone, which helps metabolize body fat and support new muscle growth. Glutamine's anti-catabolism ability prevents the breakdown of your muscles. This is especially useful for people 'cutting down'. Especially during summer when you're trying to get rid of some body fat without losing any muscle.
  
  Glutamine is needed throughout your body for optimal performance. Your small intestines requires the most Glutamine in your body, and your immune system also requires Glutamine Because Glutamine levels deplete during workouts, bodybuilders are more susceptible to illnesses - this is why L-Glutamine supplementation is so important, not necessarily to gain more muscle, but for the 'maintenance' effects of L-Glutamine.
