Benefits of L-Glutamine
L-glutamine is the most prevalent amino acid in the bloodstream. It is used in the gut and immune system extensively to maintain optimal performance. 60% of free-form amino acids floating in skeletal muscles is L-glutamine. L-glutamine plays a very important role in protein metabolism, and it appears to be a very important nutrient for its users. When supplemented, it may help you reduce the amount of muscle deterioration that occurs because other tissues that need glutamine will not rob the glutamine stored in the muscle cells.
Help Prevent Catabolization: Glutamine has been linked to protein synthesis. It prevents your muscle from being catabolized (eaten up) in order to provide Glutamine for other cells in the body.
- Stay Hydrated: Glutamine helps maintain cell volume and hydration, speeding up wound healing and recovery.
- Stay Charged: Glutamine helps replenish declining glutamine levels during intense episodes of immune disorders or diseases.
- Increase Growth Hormones: L-Glutamine has shown to spike hormone levels. Research has shown 2 grams of L-Glutamine increased growth by over 400%
Glutamine is mostly made and stored in your skeletal muscle, where it is taken up for its various duties in your body. The harder and longer you work out, the more glutamine you use. Eventually, your body can no longer keep up with the demand for glutamine, leading to a decrease in levels. Strenuous physical exercise and exhaustive training programs cause a decrease in glutamine synthesis and an increase in uptake by immune and liver cells. Inactivity also negatively impacts the amino acid — sedentary individuals also saw reduced levels of glutamine production and availability. 2 to 3 gram dosage used post workout build protein, repairs and build muscle, and can induce levels of growth hormone found in the body. These are all factors for muscle gains. More protein equals more nitrogen directly relating to growth. Better recovery means less soreness and increased injury prevention.
L-Glutamine and Fatigue
Runners, swimmers, triathlon and other endurance-type athletes can experience fatigue during training and events. This fatigue can stem from ammonia build-up in the bloodstream, which may potentially be removed by glutamine. L-glutamine and carbohydrate combination “reduced the accumulation of blood ammonia during prolonged, strenuous exercise. Dehydrated athletes responded better to a glutamine-infused beverage than to water. Athletes who drank liquid with L-glutamine showed longer workout times before muscles reached fatigue.
