The Secret Of Glutamine
GLUTAMINE ( L-Glutamine )
“ The Anti-Catabolic Free-Form Amino Acid “
If you’re serious about maximizing muscle size, growth and density - you must supplement with the amino acid GLUTAMINE. amino acids is the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue. It serves a crucial role in the human body, especially for strength athletes.
In order for muscle mass to be truly maximized, high levels of glutamine must be maintained AT ALL TIMES… If not, muscle mass will shrink! Most “shrinkage” of muscle mass occurs when the glutamine levels available in muscle tissue are drawn upon by other systems in the body ( primary system that cannibalizes stored muscle glutamine is the immune system ).
The immune system of the human body thrives on glutamine so that it can “manufacture” disease fighting elements. When it is time to fight a “cold” - muscle mass takes a back seat - and must sacrifice glutamine stores to bolster the immune system ( that is why many body builders and strength athletes feel weak and “Flat” and actually look smaller while training with a “bug/cold”.
Even more demands for glutamine are activated by periods of brutal and intense physical and mental stress ( such as training in the gym ). All take their toll on glutamine stores. The good news is that glutamine stores can easily be restored, and even elevated in order to promote good health and anabolic muscle growth. Clinical studies indicate that by supplementing with glutamine, one can replace declining levels of glutamine brought on by periods of physical and mental stress or immune system taxation.
