Glutamine has become more prominent as new studies reveal it's unique contribution to protein synthesis (muscle growth), anti-proteolytic (prevents muscle tissue breakdown) functions & growth hormone elavating effects. Glutamine is the most abundant single amino acid in the blood & 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 synthesized for growth. Glutamine concentrations fall markedly after training & remain low until complete recovery. This fall in glutamine is catabolic to muscle tissue. Supplementing with glutamine spares free glutamine in muscle tissue, counteracts the fall in muscle protein synthesis, & improves nitrogen balance Container
