Item Details - Reflex L Glutamine

Reflex Nutrition L-Glutamine:

The amino acid, L-Glutamine, has become more prominent as new studies reveal its unique contribution to protein synthesis (muscle growth). L-Glutamine can also help prevent muscle tissue breakdown and has growth hormone elevating effects.

Glutamine is the most abundant single amino acid in the blood and in the intracellular free amino acid pool (most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue). It comprises 61% of the amino acid pool in skeletal muscle.Glutamine's unique structure, containing two nitrogen side chains, consists of 19% nitrogen - making it the primary transporter of nitrogen into the muscle cell. In fact, glutamine alone is responsible for 35% of the nitrogen that gets into the muscle cell.

Glutamine literally drives muscle building nitrogen into the muscle cell where it is synthesised for growth.Glutamine concentrations fall rapidly after training and remain low until complete recovery. What this means is, the very stress of weight training leak nitrogen carrying glutamine from the muscle tissue. This fall in glutamine is damaging to muscle tissue.

Supplementing with glutamine spares free glutamine in muscle tissue, work against the fall in muscle protein synthesis, and improves nitrogen balance.
