- 100% Pure Crystalline L-form - Conditionally-essential amino acids - Most abundant Free Amino Acid for cell-volumising - Regulate cell volume - Prevent post exercise dropped in immunity - Anti-Catabolic - Support immune and intestine cells Glutamine is considered a conditionally essential amino acid, because during periods of severe metabolic stress the body's requirements of glutamine may exceed the individual's ability to produce sufficient amounts of the amino acid. Strenuous training may be associated with immune suppression. After long and hard training, drop in plasma level of Glutamine can impaired immune function. That makes you more susceptible to cold and infections. Falling sick may mean your progressive training cycle will be halted half way, resulting discounted gain from your well planned the cycle. As glutamine is the most preferred fuel by the immune cells, taking Glutamine after training can help to overcome this drop in Glutamine level to prevent the drop in immunity to reduce the number of infectious complications due to hard training. Glutamine is also the most abundant free form amino acid in the muscle cells. It carry extra nitrogen atoms and can donate its nitrogen atoms to other amino acids to support amino acids metabolism. It has been proposed that if the free amino acids pool in the muscle dropped, muscle catabolism will occur. Having a good pool of Glutamine in the muscle cells support anabolism and reduce catabolism. Glutamine also support cells lining the digestive tracts to optimise absorption by keeping the gut cells in good conditions. In fact, glutamine is their most preferred fuel and glutamine serve as a tonic to them. Scientific References 1. Res Sports Med. 2005 Jan-Mar;13(1):7-21.
