Glutamine is a carbon and nitrogen donor and helps restore glycogen which restores energy. Glutamine is the most important component of muscle protein, and helps you to repair and build muscle.

• Glutamine can help increase protein synthesis.

• Glutamine is anti-catabolic and can prevent muscle breakdown

• Glutamine helps maximize cell volumisation and hydration,

• Glutamine benefits you by replenishing declining Glutamine levels during intense workouts.

• Glutamine can help you produce growth hormone levels, which helps metabolize body fat and support new muscle growth.

• Glutamine may serve to boost your immune system. For Athletes, this is important since heavy workouts tend to greatly deplete Glutamine levels. (Glutamine is a primary energy source for your immune system.)

• Glutamine is the primary transporter of nitrogen into our muscles.

• During intense training, Glutamine levels are greatly depleted in your body, which decreases strength, stamina and recovery. It could take up to 6 days for Glutamine levels to return to normal.

• Glutamine is one of the most important nutrients for your intestines. It has the ability to 'repair a leaky gut' by maintaining the structural integrity of the bowels.
