Sports Nutrition Europe 100% L-Glutamine 500g. Sports Nutrition Europes 100% L-Glutamine delivers a critical link in muscle metabolism not shared by any other single amino acid & makes using glutamine a realistic & effective process. SNE Glutamine is a pure L-Glutamine an odourless & tasteless powder. Glutamine is extremely in demand throughout the human body. Its used in the stomach & immune system extensively to stabilize optimal performance. L-glutamine plays an important role in protein metabolism & it seems to be a very important nutrient for bodybuilders & athletes. When supplemented it may help limit the amount of muscle deterioration that occurs as other tissues that need glutamine will not rob the glutamine stored in the muscle cells. L-Glutamine concentrations decline after training & strenuous exercise & continue to be low until total recovery. What this means is the demands of strenuous exercise i.e. weight training "leak" nitrogen carrying glutamine from muscle tissue. This decline in glutamine is catabolic to muscle tissue. Supplementing your diet with glutamine spares free glutamine in muscle tissue offsets the fall in muscle protein synthesis & improves nitrogen balance. L-Glutamine the free form amino acid is the single most largest amino acid present in skeletal muscle. L-Glutamine may reinforce muscle tissue by restricting the degradation of protein through nitrogen retention glycogen synthesis & protein synthesis. L-Glutamine may also help in giving energy & the removal of environmental toxins. Thus L-Glutamine has been labelled "the thinker&180s amino". L-Glutamine&180s muscle supporting qualities have made L-Glutamine an priceless addition to an athlete&180s regimen.
