BulkSupplements Pure L-Glutamine Powder (250 grams)
Glutamine is one of the most abundant of all of the 20 amino acids, making up over 60% of all skeletal muscle tissue in the body. It can be found in even higher concentrations in more vital organs such as the kidney, liver, heart, and brain. This particular supplement is manufactured in the United States.Glutamine is by far the most important of all of the amino acids when it comes to metabolism. It is the main source of fuel used by cells to complete the process of transferring fats, sugars, etc into usable energy that the body can store for later. This is because glutamine can be stored in the body and later converted into glucose, one of the chief energy providers for the body, whenever the body is in need of more energy. This is what makes this supplement such an attractive option for high endurance athletes with strict training regimens. It is taken not only to considerably raise energy levels, but also to help the body more effectively burn fat, while adding on to overall muscle mass. On a note of more general interest, glutamine is important in DNA and RNA synthesis and in the maintenance of bodily alkaline levels.
