L-Glutamine 500 mg 100 capsules Item Clog Number: 00345 |
Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid that generates energy and helps increase strength, quicker recovery, and exercise endurance.115-117 Blood ammonia concentration increases during endurance exercise and has been proposed as a cause for both peripheral and central fatigue. In trials, glutamine supplementation reduced the accumulation of blood ammonia during prolonged, strenuous exercise in high-level athletes.118,119 As an immune booster, glutamine supplementation may prevent the negative effects of strenuous exercise on immune function. Moreover, glutamine supplementation has a protective effect in the DNA fragmentation, mitochondrial membrane depolarization and apoptosis, and in regulation of the inflammatory process and immune suppression, which are induced by a single session of exercise.120,121 Glutamine also plays an important role in maintaining functional integrity of the gut. As a gut-trophic factor, glutamine improves intestinal function, allowing better absorption of nutrients.122-129 It can be helpful to someone challenged with muscle loss or determined to help maintain optimal immune function while under heavy stress.116,117,125,137,142,143 |
