Supplement Powder
L-Glutamine
DESCRIPTION
L-Glutamine powder is one of best supplements to enhance muscle recovery and stimulate growth. Studies show when taken post workout, L-Glutamine can also help reduce DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). It can be taken by healthy adult males and females.
L-Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid, which makes up a great deal of our skeletal muscle tissue. As it is non-essential, this basically means that the body can synthesize it naturally and so doesn’t necessarily require it via dietary sources. However, studies have found that increased L-Glutamine consumption, can provide a whole host of benefits for the human body. Proteins are made up of amino acid building blocks, and glutamine is one of the most important building blocks for muscle tissue in the entire body. It plays a key role in a whole host of physiological processes within the body, and is essential for health and well-being. On top of that however, it also plays a vital role in the growth and repair of muscle tissue as well.

Health Canada Recommended Dose (powder): Adults: 1 Scoop(s) 1 time(s) per day. Store in a cool, dry place.
Glutamine and Glutamic acid are both amino acids and are very similar to one another, although they also have their very distinct and unique benefits in the process. Glutamic acid for example, is a component of MSG, or Monosodium Glutamate, and functions as a nootropic, providing benefits for the brain and a person’s mental health and well-being. Glutamine however, is more about physiological and physical benefits, so put simply, glutamic acid is great for the brain, and glutamine is great for everything else.

The Benefits
There are a number of benefits associated with L-Glutamine, and whilst listing them all may be a bit of a stretch, we can look at some of the most common and most important benefits. These include:
As mentioned, glutamine actually assists with the growth and repair of muscle tissues via protein synthesis, making it a perfect post-workout supplement. However, on top of that, glutamine is also converted into glucose within the body, which in turn means that the body will generate more energy. The more energy you have, the harder you can work in the gym, so the more you will be able to get done during your workout.
Another benefit of glutamine, is that it can help significantly increase a person’s immune system. Low levels of L-Glutamine have been heavily linked with a suppressed immune system, which is the last thing you want when it comes to health and well-being. Studies have revealed that increased Glutamine consumption, can actually lead to an increase in a person’s immune system.
Glutamine is also considered a very beneficial amino acid in regards to detoxification. You see, as mentioned, ammonia is produced by the body as a by-product of the production of proteins, and this ammonia is toxic, and can cause a wide range of health issues and dangers. Glutamine however, forces it into the liver, where it is quickly neutralised and flushed from the body.
Glutamine has an important role in the immune system. It is a critical fuel source for immune cells, including white blood cells and certain intestinal cells. If the body’s need for glutamine is greater than its ability to produce it, your body may break down protein stores, such as muscle, to release more of this amino acid. The function of the immune system can be compromised when insufficient amounts of glutamin are available. Studies also suggest glutamine may improve health and decrease infections.
