What is L-Glutamine, and how could it benefit me during the training season?

Monday, 15 September 2003

Glutamine is the most abundant single amino acid in muscle tissue and contributes up to 80% of the total free nitrogen found in the body. Glutamine helps to transport Nitrogen into the muscle cell to be used in anabolic growth, and increases the absorption of other nutrients as well.
During heavy training, Glutamine levels plummet, particularly after training and remain low until recovery is complete. The loss of Glutamine from the muscle can leave muscle tissue vulnerable to breakdown, however supplementing with Glutamine, replenishes muscle tissue Nitrogen to help support growth and develop mass.

Glutamine helps to naturally maintain muscle mass and also helps to regulate the body’s acid-base balance by reducing both lactic acid and ammonia accumulation that results from muscle metabolism. This helps to promote muscle recovery and reduce fatigue. Intense, prolonged exercise, often results in a decline in immune defence, however additional Glutamine helps support natural immunity by supplying important nutrition to the immune cells.
