Glutamine is similar to glucose in that it is one of the preferred energy sources utilized by rapidly proliferating cells. Glutamine is the primary fuel source for the brain and, along with the stimulant neurotransmitter glutamate and the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, forms the most abundant amino group in the human brain. Glutamine is also a primary fuel source for enterocytes and supports intestinal maintenance and normal function. It has been clinically used to improve nitrogen balance and minimize protein loss in people suffering from catabolic states due to surgical stress and serious gastrointestinal diseases. Does Glutamine help with health maintenance and exercise programs? Glutamine plays a key role in DNA synthesis and is the primary transporter of nitrogen to muscle tissue. It replenishes nitrogen loss due to excessive muscle exercise and promotes recovery. Glutamine is essential for the formation and maintenance of muscle tissue, as it makes up 60% of the amino acid pool in the human cell. The very fact that muscle is the most important tissue for glutamine synthesis and storage is evidence of its important role in maintaining positive nitrogen balance and in building the structures that support these important sports activities. L-Glutamine becomes essential (need to be consumed through food or supplementation) when the body cannot keep up with its production due to catabolic state caused by exercise-induced muscle stress. L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and is involved in many metabolic processes, including the synthesis and protection of muscle tissue, the production of glycogen and immune support.1 L-Glutamine is a fuel source for enterocytes, among other things. It supports the normal functioning of the immune system, which consists of enterocytes (intestinal cells), and is then removed by millions of macrophages, lymphocytes and fibroblasts. Therefore, glutamine supplementation is necessary for optimal muscle tissue recovery and restoration. With over 350 patents, Ajinomoto® is a global innovator in amino acids. Produced by microbial fermentation using natural, non-animal ingredients, Ajipure® l-glutamine is USP/FCC grade and the world's only l-glutamine manufactured by the world's largest amino acid manufacturer to the strictest pharmaceutical standards. l-glutamine has been the subject of scientific interest in recent years. A growing body of evidence suggests that during certain stressful times, the body may need more glutamine than it can produce. In these situations, glutamine can be considered a "semi-essential" amino acid." Glutamine is involved in maintaining positive nitrogen balance (anabolic state) and also helps rapidly growing cells (immune lymphocytes and intestinal cells enterocytes). Glutamine also regulates acid-base balance and transports nitrogen. Glutamine is one of the most abundant amino acids in skeletal muscle. Glutamine plays a significant role in nitrogen balance in the body. Long-term, high-intensity exercise has been shown to decrease glutamine levels, which can lead to glutamine deficiency.
