L-Glutamine is a vital amino acid that is required by every
muscle in the body, and is one of the most important building blocks in forming
the proteins that maintain cellular health and tissue repair.
L-Glutamine is
found in varying amounts in most meat and fish as well as, to a small extent,
in vegetables and pulses.
Anyone involved in high intensity training programmes
designed for muscle growth or increasing strength, are advised to use
L-Glutamine as a dietary supplement to boost their intake.
What are the key benefits?
L-Glutamine is a semi essential amino acid that the body is
able to produce in small amounts; however the majority of it must come from the
diet. It is required for the growth of cells in the muscles, and also plays an
important role in repairing damaged tissues and in the healing process.
When supplementing L-Glutamine into the daily diet,
individuals looking to add more muscle mass (as part of a weight-gain training
programme) will notice improved development and faster results.
L-Glutamine is also considered useful to anyone undergoing
training for endurance sports such as long distance running or cycling, and can
help to reduce the incidence of muscular cramps caused through repetitive
strain. Because L-Glutamine can help in this regard, it is also recommended for
elderly people who suffer from cramps and regular muscle pain as a natural
alternative to chemical pain killers.

Additional information
L-Glutamine is one of the most effective sports supplements
available, helping to replace glycogen, which restores energy, as well as
helping to repair and build muscle tissue.
It has also been shown to play an
important part in the digestive process, and when added to a diet it can reduce
the symptoms associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other gastro
intestinal tract disorders.
