This product will ensure your health is at 100% at all times, so you can hit it hard at the gym day-in and day-out.

Ever-present Glutamine

Glutamine makes up 60% of human muscle tissue and is constantly used by the body for dividing cells, including leucocytes, to provide energy and optimal conditions for nucleotide biosynthesis. It is also important for maintaining optimal levels of immune function.

Why Supplement with Glutamine?

Engaging in constant intense training can lead to depleted levels of glutamine due to its synthesis being reduced and enhanced uptake by our liver and immune cells. Post-exercise glutamine depletion is also associated with depressing the immune system. There is a need for individuals who exercise regularly to consume a greater amount of glutamine than those who are sedentary and supplementing is a convenient way to ensure the body is replenished with glutamine to meet the demands of strenuous training. The last thing you want is to be constantly under the weather from minor illnesses and have to take time off from the gym.

Research

Glutamine is backed by many studies to support the notion that supplementing with glutamine can reduce inflammation and muscle soreness induced by prolonged exercise and provide a significant ergogenic benefit of increasing time to exhaustion due to an enhanced fluid and electrolyte uptake (1,2).
