L-Glutamine is the most abundant free
amino acid in your muscle tissue. Under periods of metabolic stress,
glutamine becomes a conditionally essential amino acid. This means
your body may not be able to make enough of this vital nutrient
to supply its needs.
Your small intestine, believe it or not, is one
of the largest "demand centers" in your body for glutamine.
And if glutamine is not supplied in adequate sources from your diet
your body is forced to use its own available supply...your muscles.
This means all the hard work you do in the gym
trying to add lean muscle mass to your body could be for naught
if your body needs more glutamine than you are providing it.
It will have no problem "tearing down" your
biceps or thigh muscles in order to "make" enough glutamine for
its needs. This is the last thing you want. And trust me, this WILL
happen if the amount of L-Glutamine circulating in your bloodstream
is insufficient.
So in order to prevent this from happening,
supplementing with L-Glutamine should be a requirement for you.
Studies Prove Glutamine's Effectiveness
Scientific studies have shown glutamine supplementation
may improve protein metabolism and minimize the breakdown of muscle
tissue in people suffering from severe metabolic stress.
Another recent study revealed that consuming
as little as 2 grams (about ½ teaspoon) of free-form L-glutamine
(on an empty stomach) may cause a significant (up to 400%) increase
in growth-hormone levels (T.C. Wellbourne, “Increased Plasma Bicarbonate
and Growth Hormone After an Oral Glutamine Load,” Am. J. Clin.
Nutr. 61 (1995): 1058 – 1061. This means a perfect time to take
this is just before bed on an empty stomach or just prior to working
out.
Because glutamine is a conditionally essential
nutrient, it is not necessary to cycle it. In fact, whenever an
optimal level of glutamine is not maintained, protein metabolism
may be impaired.
Description: Each slightly rounded teaspoon
contains approximately 5,000 mg. (5 grams) of pharmaceutical
grade L-Glutamine. Beverly International’s L-Glutamine
is 100% L-Glutamine and contains NO other substance.
Recommended use: As a dietary supplement,
mix one slightly rounded teaspoon (5 grams) in 6 – 8 ounces of water.
Drink 1 serving within 30 minutes before training and 1 serving
as soon as possible after training.
Servings/Amount per container:
60 servings per 300 gm container
5 Grams equals 1 tsp.
100% Pure Pharmaceutical-Grade L-Glutamine.
L-Glutamine is the most abundant
amino acid in your muscle tissue. Under metabolic stress (like training
while dieting) glutamine becomes a conditionally essential amino
acid. This means your body may not be able to make enough of this
vital nutrient in adequate quantities.
When this is the case, it will break
down existing muscle tissue in order to supply it to where it's
needed most (typically the small intestine is the largest demand
center in the body).
Don't sacrifice your hard-earned
muscle tissue by being short on this critical amino acid. Best time
to take it is before and after training.
