L-GLUTAMINE CAPSULES
L-Glutamine or more commonly just called Glutamine is classed as a non-essential
amino acid (the body can make it on its own) however the body produces it in
insufficient amounts for the needs of a trained athlete. 60% of all skeletal
muscle is Glutamine, so it could very well be
the most important amino acid
for
athletes and bodybuilders. Currently
we have AMAZING DEALS on Glutamine Capsules !
Glutamine is highly in demand throughout the body. 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 body builders. When supplemented, it may help bodybuilders reduce the amount of muscle deterioration that occurs because other tissues that need glutamine will not rob the glutamine stored in the muscle cells.
Research shows that after intensely working out,
glutamine levels in the body are reduced by as much as 50%. Since the body
relies on glutamine as cellular fuel for the immune system, scientific studies
have shown that glutamine supplementation can minimize the breakdown of muscle
tissue and improve protein metabolism. Its effects on replenishing the body
after stress or trauma have been shown in Europe where it is commonly given to
patients in hospitals. Glutamine's
cell-volumizing
effects have also been shown in several studies. No conclusive
studies have been done to evaluate the effects of L-glutamine supplementation on
weight-training adults; however, a recent study showed up to a
400% increase in
growth-hormone levels
when as
little as 2 grams of free-form L-glutamine supplement was consumed!
So which is the BEST GLUTAMINE SUPPLEMENT to take? If you are a serious Athlete or bodybuilder looking for lean physique development then we would recommend Big Red Shark HARDCORE Glutamine Capsules.

Glutamine is the most abundant free-form amino acid
in muscle, comprising over 50% of the free amino acids.
During and after intense training, large amounts of glutamine are released from
muscle. The deficit created by this triggers the conversion of other amino acids
into glutamine, which is a catabolic (muscle wasting) action. Oral
supplementation of L-Glutamine helps to prevent muscle wastage caused by this
natural recovery process.
Glutamine has become increasingly popular as new studies reveal its unique
contribution to protein synthesis, muscle growth,
anti-catabolic (preventing muscle tissue breakdown) and
growth hormone elevating effects.
Glutamine concentrations falls sharply after training within as little as 30
minutes, and remains low until complete recovery, up to as long as 5 – 7 days,
resulting in decreases in strength, stamina and recovery. It is therefore
critical for maintaining and building muscle tissue.
The higher the muscle glutamine levels you can maintain, the less chance you
have of falling into catabolism and the faster muscle will recover and grow.
