Glutamine Powder contains pure L-glutamine obtained through the highest quality, most stable and safest bio-fermentation. Glutamine is an amino acid most abundant in muscles, where it has important physiological functions. Specifically, four actions:
- Structurally, because it is the most abundant amino acid;
- Detoxifying, in relation to the excess of ammonium;
- Anticatabolic, facilitates muscle protein synthesis and saves glycogen;
- Energetic, by converting into glucose during strenuous and long exercise.
Glutamine was once called the "amino acid of thought" because it promotes the synthesis of some excitatory neurotransmitters such as tyramine, dopa and glutamic acid, which are involved in biochemical mechanisms related to thinking and concentration.
Glutamine is considered an energy nutrient for lymphocytes and enterocytes and contributes to the activation of "natural killer cells", thereby promoting the activity of the immune system.
This property is particularly important in endurance sports, where glutamine ensures the impermeability of the intestinal mucosa.
In addition, glutamine is a useful amino acid during intense physical activity as it provides a detoxifying and energetic function.
It is also useful in the post-workout phase to ensure recovery and muscle building.
Glutamine is considered an essential amino acid under special stress conditions.
