L-Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid that the body uses to build proteins, support the immune system, and fuel the digestive system. It is naturally found in foods like meat, eggs, and beans, but is also available as a supplement. It has a specific medical use in treating sickle cell disease to reduce pain crises and is used in some cases for gut and immune support, although more research is needed for its effectiveness as a sports supplement.
- A building block: L-Glutamine is an amino acid that the body produces to build proteins, which are essential for many bodily functions.
- Energy and immunity: It is a key fuel source for cells in the immune system and plays a role in metabolic processes that provide energy.
- Digestive support: It helps strengthen the cell barrier in the intestines and may support gut health, though more research is needed for many of its purported benefits, including for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Muscle Tech Glutamine 300g
Platinum 100% Glutamine supplies 5g of glutamine per serving, which works to rapidly replenish the glutamine used during training. Glutamine is the most abundant non-essential free amino acid in your body. Your muscles are especially high in glutamine, making it extremely important for muscle metabolism. When you’re training hard, your muscles can lose up to 50% of their glutamine stores, so you need to replace them – fast!
- Sickle Cell Disease: A form of L-Glutamine is approved to reduce the frequency of painful crises in people with sickle cell anemia.
- Injury and recovery: Supplemental L-glutamine may help with wound healing and immunity in individuals with severe injuries, like burns.
- Intensive exercise: It is a common sports supplement, but research does not consistently support its effectiveness for performance, although it may help support the immune system in cases of over training.
