Glutamine helps boost the immune system and is one of the most pwerful anabolic and anti-catabolic nutrients available, promoting protein synthesis while inhibiting protein breakdown.
Glutamine is most present in the skeletal muscles and is the most abundant amino acid in the body. It can increase secretion of growth hormone (GH). During sleep and between meals, glutamine prevents muscle breakdown. Intense training over time depletes glutamine levels which is why supplementation is so effective. Glutamine is versatile and can function as a fuel source and hydrates muscle cells. It also optimizes glucose and insulin function.
