L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body. It accounts for
more than 60% of the free amino acids in skeletal muscle, meaning it is
highly concentrated in muscle tissue. Following intense exercise,
l-glutamine levels fall significantly (by up to 50%), therefore,
l-glutamine supplementation is a necessity for any serious athlete
participating in physical training. It is known as conditionally
essential. Grenade Essentials Glutamine is affordable, and made using
the highest grade, 100% fermented l-glutamine (unflavoured), with no
bulking agents added.
Product Highlights
L-glutamine has
a number of benefits that contribute to muscle growth, performance and
recovery; it is known as conditionally essential for these reasons.
Relative to Muscular Health:
-L-glutamine
helps to prevent the breakdown of muscle tissue and improve protein
metabolism. Its anti-catabolic ability is especially beneficial for
those who are aiming to reduce body body fat whilst preserving muscle
mass.
Immune Health:
-The preferred fuel source of the
immune system is l-glutamine, thus, it is an effective component for
immune health. Due its rapid depletion during intense exercise,
supplementation of such is a must in order to maintain optimal muscle
performance.
Gastrointestinal Health:
L-glutamine plays a
crucial role in maintaining intestinal health. For any individual
looking to gain muscle, lose weight or improve performance, intestinal
health should be paramount. Even if eating properly and taking the
advisable supplements, your results will be restricted if your body is
not able to absorb nutrients efficiently. Supplementing l-glutamine
contributes to optimal gut function. It is often quoted by nutritional
experts that, "We are not what we eat, but what we absorb."
