Glutamine is the most common naturally occurring amino acid found in muscle tissue. Over 61% of skeletal muscle tissue is Glutamine. Glutamine plays a crucial role in cell growth, cell repair and the maintenance of a healthy immune system. Glutamine is widely used to maintain good brain functioning; it improves mental alertness, clarity of thinking and mood.
Glutamine’s has a unique structure and it is responsible for 35% of the nitrogen that reaches the muscle cells where it is synthesized for growth. Many research studies have shown that supplementation with L-Glutamine can achieve the following.

Consumer Features:
Increased Protein Synthesis: (Muscle Building) - Glutamine has been clearly linked to increased protein synthesis. It spares the muscle tissue being catabolized (see below) in order to provide glutamine for other cells in the body, therefore allowing the muscle tissue to use glutamine to synthesize new protein tissue.

Decreased Catabolism (The Breakdown Of Muscle Tissue) Catabolism occurs when Glutamine leaves the muscle causing the cells discharge water and become dehydrated. L-Glutamine supplementation ensures that high levels of Glutamine are maintained within the cells meaning no discharge of water or Catabolism.

Prevent Glutamine depletion in muscles after workouts. Under periods of stress, including hard and intensive workouts, your body may not be able to make all of the Glutamine that it requires. Studies have shown that supplementing with L-glutamine is effective at replacing these declining levels.

Elevate Growth Hormone levels. A recent study has showed that a small 2-gram oral dose of L-Glutamine caused an increase in growth hormone levels by over 430%.

Some studies have also shown that L-Glutamine may serve to boost our immune system.

If you are undertaking strenuous training and not using High5 Protein Recovery, which already contains L-Glutamine, then research suggests that you should supplement your diet with 5g of L-Glutamine per day.
