L-Glutamine, Ultra Pure Powder, 500G(17.63Oz)

Product Description: Innovation in Advanced Sports Biotechnology 100% Pure HPLC Certified AjiPure™ Amino Acid Supplement Maximizes Muscle Growth and Recovery Increases Strength and Power Increases Muscle Completeness Improves Nitrogen Balance L-Glutamine becomes essential (need to be consumed through food or supplementation) when the body cannot keep up with production due to catabolic stress caused by exercise. L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body and is involved in many metabolic processes including the synthesis and protection of muscle tissue, the production of glycogen, and immune support. Most importantly, L-Glutamine is a fuel source for enterocytes (intestinal cells) that support the integrity of the intestinal wall, and supports proper immune system function with the millions of macrophages, lymphocytes, and fibroblasts that populate it. Therefore, glutamine supplementation is necessary for optimal muscle tissue recovery and repair. With over 350 patents, Ajinomoto® is a global innovator in amino acids. AjiPure® l-Glutamine is made from natural raw ingredients from non-animal sources and is fermented by microorganisms. USP is 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 "conditionally essential" amino acid. Glutamine is involved in maintaining positive nitrogen balance (anabolic state) and also helps rapidly growing cells (immune lymphocytes and enterocytes). Glutamine is also an acid-base balance regulator and nitrogen carrier. What are the functional properties of glutamine? Glutamine, like glucose, is one of the preferred energy sources utilized by rapidly growing cells. Glutamine is the primary fuel source for the brain and, along with the stimulating neurotransmitter glutamate and the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, forms the most abundant amino acid in the human brain. Glutamine is also an important 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 vital role in DNA synthesis and acts as the primary transporter of nitrogen to muscle tissue. It replenishes nitrogen loss due to excessive muscle exercise and promotes recovery. Glutamine is so important for the formation and maintenance of muscle tissue that 60% of the amino acid pool in human cells is glutamine. 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 building the structures that support these important sports activities. Glutamine is one of the most abundant amino acids in skeletal muscle. Glutamine plays a vital 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.

How to Use: Take 1 teaspoon of glutamine powder with water or your favorite beverage, without food or as directed by your physician or licensed nutritionist.
