WHAT IS GLUTAMINE?

Glutamine is an ample amino acid present in the body, more than 60% of the free amino acid pool in the skeletal muscle and more than 20% in the total circulating amino acids. There are two types of Glutamine present. L-Glutamine and D-Glutamine. Proteins in our body uses L-Glutamine for its production from amino acids and used for other functions. But D-Glutamine is relatively unimportant to living organisms. 

Glutamine is naturally found in various foods. Approximately, you consume around 3-6 grams from typical diet. Large quantities of Glutamine will not get derived from a normal diet. So, MP Essentials has come up with L-glutamine powder and the capsules for the improvement of muscle gain and performance in exercise. Since Glutamine along with amino acids act as a building block of protein, the supplementation of glutamine shows the good improvement in muscle gain and reduction in muscle soreness and speeds up recovery. 

*Prevents muscle catabolism

*Promotes muscle anabolism

*Enhances immune system

*Enhances Glycogen storage.

WHAT DOES GLUTAMINE DO?

The glutamine demand increases during exercise or some metabolic stress such as pre-contest diet, severe injury, illness etc. At that instance, Glutamine acts as a primary fuel source for the cells of the immune system, thus the demand increases. For the division of cells such as immune cells, sufficient supply of glutamine is important. Therefore, the synthesis of glutamine may be insufficient to meet the demand. So, the supplementation is beneficial for people, who easily get infections or get sick often. 

Glutamine supplementation also promotes nitrogen retention (Positive nitrogen balance) which may prevent loss of muscle protein. A decreased testosterone to cortisol ratio is directly responsible for muscle mass since cortisol promotes the synthesis of glutamine. Thus, supplementation of glutamine may be beneficial for bodybuilders who are into strenuous workout. 

Glutamine is especially useful post workout when the nutrients are low until recovery. Certain research shows that athlete’s glutamine levels are significantly reduced and it took nearly one month to return to baseline. It is used as a marker to indicate overtraining. In a catabolic state, glutamine is the first amino acid to used to correct the deficiency. Additional glutamine is necessary during period of high stress. And L-Glutamine also decreases protein degradation, resulting in bigger and stronger muscles.  

BENEFITS OF GLUTAMINE

*It is important for the immune system. If the blood levels are low due to some injuries or surgies, the function of immune system may be compromised. This lower immune function may lead to certain communicable diseases such as cold, flu. In such circumstances, administration of supplemental glutamine is necessary.

*It is important for the intestine: Glutamine plays an important role in maintenance of the healthy intestine. This prevents harmful bacteria from intestine to enter into the other parts of the body.

*Improves muscle gain and performance: The supplementation of L-Glutamine is shown to enhance muscle gain and exercise performance. It also reduces muscle soreness and promote faster recovery of muscles after high intensity work outs. When Glutamine taken along with carbohydrates, it is proved to reduce the feeling of fatigue.

DIRECTIONS TO USE

Mix 1 scoop of MP Essentials Glutamine powder with water or to any of your favorite beverage. For better results, use it before or after training. It can be used as a part of healthy diet and exercise program.
