WHAT IS GLUTAMINE?

WHEN PEOPLE THINK OF GLUTAMINE, THEY IMMEDIATELY THINK OF AN AMINO ACID THAT HELPS YOUR MUSCLES RECOVER FROM A WORKOUT. ONE OF THE MAIN USES OF GLUTAMINE IS TO SERVE AS BUILDING BLOCKS FOR PROTEIN, WHICH DOES INDEED HELP WITH RECOVERY. HOWEVER, THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER IMPORTANT ROLES THAT GLUTAMINE PLAYS WITHIN MAINTAINING A HEALTHY BODY.

THE SUPPORT GLUTAMINE GIVES TO PROTEINS ARE CRUCIAL TO YOUR ORGANS. THEY ALSO SERVE OTHER DUTIES, SUCH AS TRANSPORTING SUBSTANCES IN THE BLOOD AND FIGHTING OFF HARMFUL VIRUSES AND BACTERIA. L-GLUTAMINE CAN BE PRODUCED NATURALLY IN YOUR BODY. IN FACT, IT IS THE MOST SUFFICIENT AMINO ACID IN YOUR BLOOD.

HOWEVER, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE GLUTAMINE NEEDS OF YOUR BODY ARE GREATER THAN ITS ABILITY TO PRODUCE IT. THEREFORE, IT IS CONSIDERED AN ESSENTIAL AMINO ACID MEANING THAT IT MUST BE OBTAINED FROM THE DIET UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, SUCH AS INJURY OR ILLNESS FOR RECOVERY.

ANOTHER UNKNOWN IS THAT GLUTAMINE IS AN IMPORTANT AMINO ACID FOR THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND INTESTINAL HEALTH! GLUTAMINE PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM. THERE ARE TIMES YOUR BODY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PRODUCE ENOUGH OF IT, SO YOU NEED TO SUPPLEMENT WITH GLUTAMINE POWDER.

THIS CREATES A HEALTHY BACTERIAL AND SUPPORTS THE INTESTINAL WALLS FROM ANY BAD TOXINS ESCAPING INTO THE REST OF YOUR BODY.
