Not heard of glutamine? Don't worry, you're not alone. Glutamine is an amino acid, one of twenty that are found in different protein sources. Of these twenty, the body can make 12 - the other 8 we have to get from our diet, and these are termed Essential Amino Acids.
Amino acids play a vital role in many body processes, and are the building blocks of many of the structures in our body, including muscles, tendons, and bones.
Glutamine has attracted interest because of its role in exercise and recovery. It has various effects, chief among them its role in vastly improving recovery times for athletes.
Research has shown that vigorous exercise can deplete our supplies of this amino acid by up to 50%, which is why supplementing it makes sense for anyone who works out hard.
Taken as a supplement after a workout and before sleep, it can help to:
- Reduce the catabolic effect of cortisol
- Increase Growth Hormone production
- Aid in recuperation
- Support immune function
- Accelerate the fat burning process
- Boost growth hormone levels during sleep
- Improve nitrogen balance
- Increase protein synthesis while decreasing protein break down
It is thus a good friend to anyone who trains hard and wants to maximize gains.
