L-Glutamine Powder

:: Essential for muscle growth and maintenance
:: Improved recovery
:: Anti-catabolic amino acid
:: Most abundant amino acid in the muscle
:: Supports a healthy immune system

L-Glutamine is the most abundant "free" amino acid in the body. It is found in higher concentration than other amino acids in vital tissues including the muscle, brain, intestinal mucosa cells and immune cells. In muscle, the concentration of free glutamine appears to influence whether muscle will be broken down (catabolism-low glutamine content) or built up (anabolism-high glutamine content).

During intense training, your muscle L-Glutamine levels drop sharply. This, in turn, decreases strength, stamina and recovery. Research demonstrates that following a rigorous workout, it may take up to six days for L-Glutamine levels to return to normal without supplementation. Without adequate levels of L-Glutamine, it is impossible for protein synthesis to occur.

L-Glutamine also increases cell volumization immediately. Volumized muscle cells appear larger, get a better pump and assist in protein synthesis. In fact, L-Glutamine helps muscle cells to utilize both protein and carbohydrates. L-Glutamine also acts as a powerful ammonia scavenger. Ammonia is a highly toxic substance to muscle cells.

Finally, L-Glutamine increases the body's ability to secrete Human Growth Hormone (HGH). HGH assists in metabolising body fat and helps to support new muscle tissue growth. Research demonstrates that the muscles can benefit from a minimum of 2 to 5 additional grams of L -Glutamine daily. Biogen L-Glutamine is the ideal recovery supplement for individuals suffering from muscle fatigue after strenuous exercise.

Recommended Use

Dissolve a half to 1 full teaspoon of L-Glutamine in a glass of water consuming it 2 – 5 times daily, preferably on an empty stomach to promote maximum absorption. Ideal times to take in L-Glutamine are immediately before and after exercise as well as 30 minutes before bed.
