Glutamine is an amino acid. During intense training, your muscle L-Glutamine levels drop sharply. This, in turn decreases strength, stamina and recovery. Research demonstrates that following a rigorous workout, it may take up to six days for L-Glutamine levels to return to normal without supplementation. Without adequate levels of L-Glutamine, it is impossible for protein synthesis to occur.

Benefits:

•    Wheat Free
•    GM Free
•    Suitable for Vegans

L-Glutamine also increases cell volumization immediately. Volumized muscle cells appear larger, get a better pump and assist in protein synthesis. In fact, L-Glutamine helps muscle cells to utilize both protein and carbohydrates. It also acts as a powerful ammonia scavenger. Ammonia is a highly toxic substance to muscle cells.

L-Glutamine has become increasingly popular as new studies reveal its unique contribution to protein synthesis muscle growth anti-catabolic (prevents muscle tissue breakdown) function and growth hormone elevating effects.

Glutamine provides a critical link in muscle metabolism not shared by any other single amino acid. USNs L-Glutamine powder is pure pharmaceutical grade L-Glutamine in an odorless and tasteless powder.

Glutamine is the most abundant single amino acid in the blood and in the intracellular free amino acid pool (most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue).

It compromises 61% of the amino acid pool in skeletal muscle cell. In fact Glutamine alone is responsible for 35% of the nitrogen that gets into the muscle cell. Glutamine literally drives muscle building nitrogen into the muscle cell where it is synthesized for growth.

Glutamine concentrations fall remarkably after training and remain low until complete recovery.
