Pure Glutamine, a flavorless, easy-mixing, pure, free amino acid formula.
Glutamine is the single most abundant amino acid found in the skeletal muscle
and is heavily metabolized under intense training conditions. Clinical studies
reveal that Glutamine supplementation can help support recovery after intense
training by promoting energyrepletion, maintaining a healthy immune system and
maximizing your body’s buffering capacity against acid build-up. Enhance your
training and nutrition program with Prolab Nutrition’s Glutamine Powder.

Supplementing with Glutamine
by Bob Myhal
For my money, Glutamine is without a doubt one of the best of the lesser
known, non-hyped supplements on the market.
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in muscle tissue. Studies
have shown glutamine supplementation can prevent up to 70% of the muscle loss as
the result of cortisol in the body (American Journal of Physiology 33:E
912-E917, 1996).
This same study found that glutamine interfered with cortisol’s effects on
the glutamine synthetase enzyme. Basically this means that glutamine helped
prevent overtraining and lessened the catabolic effects of cortisol.
Glutamine has also been shown to increase GH levels, enhance glycogen
replenishment after training, and increase nitrogen retention—all of these
positive outcomes aid in the promotion of lean muscle mass.
