OPTIMUM NUTRITION – GLUTAMINE POWDER Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid present in the body and plays an important role in muscle protein development. During long periods of intense training, whether that would be weights or endurance training, glutamine levels are depleted which can limit protein and muscle synthesis. Optimum Nutrition Glutamine Powder is an easy way to supplement this conditionally-essential amino acid into your diet, and is easy to take! Just consume 5g of glutamine pre-workout and post-workout for optimal recovery, it in unflavoured as well which makes it easy to mix into other beverages. BENEFITS REDUCE SORENESS Exercise-induced muscle soreness is created by micro-tears in the muscle fibre and can cause physical discomfort and tenderness known as delayed onset muscle soreness or (DOMS).L-Glutamine has the ability to inhibit muscle disruption by improving protein synthesis. L-Glutamine is usually stored in muscles and released into the bloodstream during times of physical stress and workout like endurance training and high-intensity strength training (HIT). This enhanced recovery can reduce muscle soreness and speed up recovery time between workouts. IMMUNE HEALTH Glutamine is a critical fuel source for immune cells, including white blood cells and certain intestinal cells. If the body’s need for glutamine is greater than its ability to produce it, your body may break down protein stores, such as muscle, to release more of this amino acid GUT HEALTH Glutamine is an important energy source for intestinal and immune cells. Glutamine helps maintain the barrier between the inside of your intestines and the rest of your body, thereby protecting against a leaky gut and stomach inflammation. By supplementing with Glutamine allows a protective barrier from harmful bacteria or toxins from moving from your intestines into the rest of your body. Additionally, it is important for the normal growth and maintenance of the cells in the intestine DIRECTIONS Mix one heaping teaspoon of Glutamine Powder with 8 oz. of water or your favourite beverage daily as part of a healthy diet and exercise program.
