99% L-Glutamine Powder 56-85-9

Glutamine is an amino acid, and like all amino acids, it has multiple functions in the body, but its primary function is as a building block for proteins in the body. There are 20 amino acids that perform this important "building block" function. Glutamine, the most abundant amino acid in the body, is produced in the body's muscles and then distributed by the blood to the organs that need it.

Like most amino acids, glutamine exists in two different forms, L-glutamine and D-glutamine. The two forms of glutamine look very similar, almost identical. However, there are slight differences in their molecular structures. The form of glutamine found in foods and supplements is L-glutamine. The more general term "glutamine" is used in most supplements.

Glutamine is one of twenty non-essential amino acids. Saying it's non-essential doesn't mean glutamine isn't important, but rather that the body can produce it on its own. Sixty percent of our body's glutamine can be found in the muscles attached to our bones, with the remainder found in the tissues of the lungs, liver, brain, and stomach.

1. Muscle growth is mainly achieved through the following aspects:

It provides the body with necessary nitrogen sources to promote protein synthesis in muscle cells; promotes the growth and differentiation of muscle cells through cell volume expansion; stimulates the secretion of growth hormone, insulin and testosterone, keeping the body in a synthetic state.

2. Glutamine has a powerful effect.

Increase strength and improve endurance. During exercise, the body's acidic metabolites increase, acidifying body fluids. Glutamine has the potential to produce bases, which can reduce the reduction in exercise capacity or fatigue caused by acidic substances to a certain extent.

3. An important fuel for the immune system, which can enhance the function of the immune system.

Glutamine has an important immunomodulatory effect and is necessary for lymphocyte secretion, proliferation and maintenance of function.

It can also synthesize glutathione, which can maintain the body's normal immune status, enhance antioxidant capacity and detoxify.

4. Prevent muscle breakdown

Supplementing glutamine in a timely and appropriate amount can effectively prevent the decomposition of muscle protein, increase cell volume through cell hydration, and promote muscle growth. Glutamine is also one of the few amino acids that promotes the release of growth hormone. Studies have shown that taking 2 grams of glutamine orally can increase the level of growth hormone by 4 times, increase the secretion of insulin and testosterone, thereby enhancing muscle synthesis.

5. Control appetite

Glutamine can be used as an energy source for our brain, can effectively suppress the need for sugar, regulate blood sugar and nutrient metabolism, and can control the body's obsessive craving for sugar and carbohydrates.

6. Improve the body's antioxidant capacity.

Supplementing glutamine can improve the body's antioxidant capacity by maintaining and increasing GSH reserves in tissue cells, stabilizing cell membranes and protein structures, protecting the functions of liver, lungs, intestines and other important organs and immune cells, and maintaining the kidneys, Normal function of the pancreas, gallbladder, and liver.

7. Glutamine-enhanced nutritional support can improve body metabolism, nitrogen balance, promote protein synthesis, and increase the total number of lymphocytes.

Improve body metabolism: Glutamine plays a positive role in promoting protein metabolism.
