HELP YOUR BODY'S RECOVERY MECHANISM
Research confirms what
many in sports nutrition have believed for so long - L-glutamine
is essential for protein synthesis, immune function,
gastrointestinal health and recovery. Multiple scientific
studies suggests that by taking supplemental L-glutamine you can
help your body prevent muscle protein loss due to intense stress
or exercise.
Additionally, studies have found that consuming
supplemental L-glutamine stimulates the release of growth
hormone, volumizes your muscle cells and helps control toxic
ammonia.
What's more, glutamine works in the gut helping to
increase the absorption of other nutrients, such as creatine,
potentially making them more effective.

Frequently
Asked Questions:
What is glutamine and what does it
do?
Glutamine is an amino acid. For years glutamine was not
thought to be as important an amino acid as the nine essential
amino acids are. This belief was mainly due to the fact that
glutamine can normally be made in the body. For this reason, it
is considered a "non-essential amino acid" and grouped together
with the likes of other non-essentials such as L-alanine,
glycine and L-tyrosine. But recent data has shown L-glutamine to
be so crucial to the body's well being that it is now being
touted as the essential "non-essential" amino acid. -
Classifying it, unnofficially as a "conditionally essential
amino acid" similar to L-histidine. The reason for this is that
L-glutamine is involved in processes like: acid-base balance,
preserving branched chain amino acids in skeletal muscle,
sparing glycogen stores, improved gut maintenance, muscle
anabolism, enhanced immune response, improved recovery and
faster wound healing.
All of these processes require
glutamine's involvement, yet glutamine stores can be compromised
by up to 50% if the body undergoes some form of stress. This
makes it harder for the body to recover quickly from the
stressor, which in turn makes it harder to build new muscle
tissue.
What is the best way to take my POWER GLUTAMINE?
The
most effective way to consume Power Glutamine is to take it
straight-up follwed by a glass of water, although some prefer to
combine it with their protein supplement shakes.
