Description: L-Glutamine 500gm by HDT Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in muscle and plasma, accounting for more than 60% of the free amino acid pool in muscle cells and more than 20% of total circulating amino acids. Glutamine levels are depleted under times of stress such as intense exercise, emotional stress or trauma from surgery. Glutamine has many uses in the body, but the two functions that have attracted the most interest are its effects on the immune system and skeletal muscle. Intense weight training has been shown to suppress the immune system. When stressed, the cells of the immune system require more glutamine than the body can manufacture. Benefits: = Improves Immune Function = Increases Cell Volume = Increases Muscle Protein Synthesis Top sports nutrition researchers believe that Glutamine may be the single most important amino acrd in the body for muscle tissue and protecting the body from overtraining. Low plasma glutamine has a direct correlation with catabolism (muscle tissue breakdown), while high levels of plasma glutamine are associated with an anabolic state (muscle tissue growth). Research has also shown that glutamine can improve glycogen storage, which has been shown to enhance recovery after intense workouts. Glutamine levels may also help balance lactic acid buildup and reduce cortisol levels. During periods of physical training or when the immune system is overloaded, supplement the diet with 3-6 grams of L-Glutamine 2 to 4 times daily.
