Description
L-Glutamine is the most abundant Afree amino acid in the body. L-Glutamine is found in higher concentration than other proteins (amino acids) in vital tissues such as the brain, intestinal mucosa cells, immune cells, skeletal and smooth muscle. In muscle, the concentration of free glutamine appears to influence whether muscles will be broken down (catabolism - low glutamine content) or built up (anabolism - high glutamine content). The reason is that when the catabolic hormone cortisol attaches to its receptor it stimulates an enzyme called glutamine synthetase to break down muscle tissue, which in turn releases glutamine. The end result is a reduction in muscle mass. Maintaining high blood levels of glutamine inactivates glutamine synthetase so your body does not tear down muscle tissue. Key Features: DESIGNED FOR: L-Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the body and is highly concentrated in the brain, intestinal mucosal cells, immune cells, skeletal and smooth muscles. MUSCLE SUPPORT: In muscle tissue, the concentration of free glutamine appears to influence whether muscles will be broken down or built up. Maintaining high blood levels of glutamine inactivates glutamine synthetase so your body does not break down muscle tissue.* DIGESTION AND IMMUNE HEALTH: Because the cells in our gut have a high turnover rate, glutamine is used to help build strong cell surfaces for better digestion and absorption. In addition, glutamine is also used as a fuel source for immune cells in response to foreign bodies. OPTIMAL FOR VEGANS: Our fermented source of L-glutamine is vegan friendly.
