Glutamine Powder: The Most Abundant Amino Acid In The Body
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, comprising more than
60% of the free amino acid pool in skeletal muscle and greater than 20% of total
circulating amino acids. Supplemental L-Glutamine may help reduce muscle
soreness and rebuild muscle tissue. During stressful situations (i.e. heavy
resistive weight training) the body can lose a large amount of glutamine. A loss
of glutamine during exercise may be a signal for protein catabolism (muscle
breakdown). Glutamine supplementation has been shown to prevent the loss of body
mass through the positive role glutamine plays in protein synthesis and its
action as a potent anabolic agent. When muscle glutamine levels are restored and
in a positive nitrogen balance muscle synthesis can return to a normal rate.
Glutamine also has actions on glucose metabolism and the regulation of
gluconeogenesis. Glutamine converts to glucose without changes in either insulin
or glucagen, the hormones that regulate blood sugar. During dieting, and times
of carbohydrate depletion, glutamine can exert positive effects on the amount of
body fat loss as well as the retention of lean body mass. Each teaspoonful
provides 4500 mg of L-Glutamine. Optimum Nutrition's Glutamine Powder is
