GLUTAMINE

Glutamine is the most common amino acid found in your muscles - over 61% of skeletal muscle is Glutamine. Glutamine consists of 19% nitrogen, making it the primary transporter of nitrogen into your muscle cells. Glutamine plays key roles in protein metabolism, cell volumizing, and anti-catabolism. Glutamine's anti-catabolism ability prevents the breakdown of your muscles. Glutamine also helps to repair and rebuild muscle.

Glutamine may serve to boost your immune system. For bodybuilders and athletes, this is important since heavy workouts tend to greatly deplete Glutamine levels. Glutamine is a primary energy source for your immune system.*

During intense training, Glutamine levels are greatly depleted in your body, which decreases strength, stamina, and recovery. Supplementing with L-Glutamine post-workout may help in recovery as it detoxifies and cleanses the body from high levels of ammonia. It acts as a buffer and converts excess ammonia into other amino acids, amino sugars and urea.
