Buy USP L-Glutamine Amino Acid Supplement - Glutamine Supplement and Medical Description
L- Glutamine is the most prevalent amino acid in the blood and one of the few amino acids which directly crosses the
blood-brain barrier. L-glutamine is present in all forms of life. Glutamine is in constant demand by cells and structures
throughout the body such as those in muscle, intestinal and immune tissue. It is found circulating in the blood as well
as stored in the skeletal muscles followed by the lungs. It becomes conditionally essential requiring intake of
supplements in states of illness, heavy exercise, immune deficiencies, injury, cancer.
L-Glutamine is a primary energy source for intestinal immune cells and a major amino acid in muscle tissue. The body’s
ability to produce adequate amounts of L-Glutamine may be compromised during physiological stress, thus warranting
supplementation. L-Glutamine supplement provides fuel for various cells of the immune system and is a critical
component in wound repair, wound healing for patients postoperative.
In the anti-aging role, evidence suggests that L-glutamine help prevent infections in people who are over-stressed
and athletes who are over trained and thus immuno suppressed. Imagine a nutrient that can improve human fat
metabolism, increase the ability of the human brain, strengthen the immune system and improve muscle mass all at the
same time. This is precisely what the amino acid glutamine can do.
Glutamine Important Amino Acid and Protective Agent
L-glutamine is the most common free amino acid in the bloodstream. It helps protect the body from high ammonia
levels by transporting ammonia (as amino groups) to the kidneys for excretion or to the liver for conversion to urea.
L-glutamine is crucial for the production of genetic molecules (DNA & RNA), protein synthesis, glucose formation, and
maintenance of a normal body acid-base (pH) balance.
L-Glutamine Functions and Uses: Glutamine has a variety of biochemical functions including:
As an amino acid, glutamine has a major role in protein synthesis. Building block of protein. Anti-catabolism, Anti-
catabolic effect (Catabolism is the breaking down of your muscles) Glutamine may be best known, though, for being a
staple supplement among weight trainers and bodybuilders. Glutamine plays a primary role in maintenance of muscle
tissue and may help prevent muscle catabolism (muscle breakdown) while promoting anabolic (muscle building) activity.
For this reason, glutamine is of particular interest to athletes and strength trainers, as it supports muscle growth while
reducing the impact of training on the immune system. Supports cellular energy source, growth and repair. Glutamine
will allow you to maintain as much muscle and prevents muscle cell breakdown.
Regulation of acid-base balance in the kidney by producing ammonium. Glutamine is important for removing excess
ammonia (a common waste product in the body).
Nitrogen donor for many anabolic processes. Carbon source, refilling the Citric acid cycle.
Helps your immune system function.
Glutamine feeds the tissue of the small intestine enabling the Villi to grow and improve absorption of nutrients across
the cell membrane more efficiently. Glutamine works inside the liver to produce the super powerful amino acid
Glutathione, which is one of the main FREE Radical Fighters within the body. While the addition of anti-oxidants
(Vitamins E, C and Beta-Carotene) are important in the removal of free radicals from the body, without Glutathione the
fight would be lost and the body would suffer in many ways.
Glutamine is also used to synthesize bicarbonate ions that help regulate body pH. The liver uses glutamine to make
important detoxification enzymes.
In catabolic states of injury and illness, glutamine becomes conditionally essential. Glutamine has been studied
extensively over the past 10-15 years and has been shown to be useful in treatment of serious illnesses, injury, trauma,
burns and treatment related side-effects of cancer as well as in wound healing for postoperative patients.
Glutamine is used by those who suffer muscular cramps or pain.
The main use of glutamine during fasting or within the diet is as a means of replenishing the body's stores of amino
acids that have been used during exercise or everyday activities.
There is now a significant body of evidence that links glutamine-enriched diets with intestinal effects aiding
maintenance of gut barrier function, intestinal cell proliferation and differentiation, as well as generally reducing septic
morbidity. Glutamine is needed for normal digestion functions
Brain Health - Glutamine amino acid is widely used to maintain good brain functioning. Glutamine is the
major component in making essential neuro-transmitters. Research has demonstrated improvements in memory
retention, cognitive ability, and problem solving when Glutamine was supplemented in the diet. Glutamine enables the
body to maintain constant blood sugar levels. This state of steady blood sugar balance is necessary for optimal brain
function since the brain utilizes glucose (blood sugar) as a primary source of fuel in addition to oxygen. When the brain
has adequate glucose to draw on, muscle stores of glucose are preserved. When an individual does not eat enough
complex carbohydrates to replace energy needs, the body will liberate, or breakdown, stored sugars from the muscle
to feed the brain. The net result is a tired, weak and stressed individual. Glutamine is a derivative of glutamic acid
which is synthesized from the amino acids arginine, ornithine and proline. Glutamine improves mental alertness, clarity of
thinking and mood. It is found in animal proteins. Glutamic acid is also a precursor of GABA, an important
neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Glutamic acid helps transport potassium into the spinal fluid and is itself
an excitatory neurotransmitter. Glutamine is needed for normal brain functions.
Aiding recovery after surgery: Wound healing and recovery from illness: It is know that glutamine has various
effects in reducing healing time after operations. Because L-glutamine supports the growth of new cells, it may be
useful in the enhancement of wound healing. When the body is stressed (from injuries, infections, burns, cuts,
trauma, or surgical procedures), it releases the hormone cortisol into the bloodstream. High levels of cortisol can lower
your body’s stores of glutamine. Wounds such as burns, surgical and traumatic wounds, cuts, and others may heal
faster with supplementation. Several studies show that adding glutamine to enteral nutrition (tube feeding) helps
reduce the rate of death in trauma and critically ill people. Clinical studies have found that glutamine supplements
strengthen the immune system and reduce infections (particularly infections associated with surgery). Glutamine
supplements may also help in the recovery of severe burns.
Clinical trials have revealed that regimes containing glutamine have improved nitrogen balances, generation of cysteinyl-
leukotrienes from polymorphonuclear neutrophil granulocytes and improved lymphocyte recovery and intestinal
permeability (in postoperative patients) - in comparison to those who had no glutamine within their dietary regime; all
without any side effects.
L-Glutamine Helps Maintain Intestinal Health: L-glutamine plays an important role in maintaining healthy
gastrointestinal function. In recent studies, glutamine have been linked with intestinal effects including maintenance of
gut barrier function and cell differentiation. It is the principal dietary fuel of the intestinal cells lining the small intestine.
Glutamine helps with the Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) protects the lining of the gastrointestinal tract known as
the mucosa. For that reason, some have suggested that people who have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)(ulcerative
colitis and Crohn’s disease) may not have enough glutamine. It decreases bowel permeability and increases the
secretions of bowel immune globulins (IgA). Leaky gut syndrome, which is one of the major causes of food allergies
resolves itself with L-Glutamine administration. It is essential for the normal immune function of gut-associated
lymphoid tissue. L-glutamine improves the ability of white cells to respond to infections and decreases the migration of
disease-causing microorganisms across the lining of the colon (translocation). L Glutamine reduces Irritable Bowel
Syndrome. The gastrointestinal tract cannot function without glutamine. Glutamine is the primary treatment for ulcers,
and disorders of the small and large intestine such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) which is characterized by
constipation, diarrhea or both.
HIV/Aids: People with HIV or AIDS often experience severe weight loss (particularly loss of muscle mass). A few
studies of people with HIV and AIDS have found that taking glutamine supplements, along with other important
nutrients including vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, selenium, and N-acetylcysteine, may increase weight gain and help
the intestines better absorb nutrients. L-Glutamine supplements may be of benefit patients with HIV as it has been
shown to increase levels of glutathione, which interferes with viral activation, as well as significantly increasing lean body
mass.
Sports and Fitness Nutrition: Athletes who train for endurance events (like marathons) may reduce the amount of
glutamine in their bodies. Glutamine contributes a significant role in muscle metabolism during sickness, stress and
exercise. Endurance athletes frequently catch a cold after completing a marathon or similar forms of exercise.
Preliminary evidence, suggests that glutamine supplements might help prevent such infections because of the role
glutamine plays in the immune system. Glutamine is used for muscle growth in weightlifting, bodybuilding, endurance
and other sports. Based on glutamine's role in muscle, this amino acid is useful for athletes experiencing overtraining
syndrome. The body can make enough glutamine for its regular needs, but in case of heavy exercise your body may
need more glutamine than it can make. Glutamine is released from the muscle during times of hard weight training
workouts. It is a contributor to muscle cell volume. Regulation of protein synthesis is one of the ways in which steroids
exert their muscle building effects. Accelerating glycogen synthesis after a workout. Sparing the use of the glycogen
stored in the muscle cell is what gives the cell the healthy volume and firmness that you seek. Glutamine helps to
faster recuperation from weight training workouts. Glutamine plays a principal role in protein metabolism, cell
voluminizing, and anti-catabolism. Catabolism is the breaking down of your muscles, which is something that you don't
want to happen. Doing cardio or aerobic activity could have a catabolic effect on your muscles. Your body needs
something to burn for energy when you jog, run, walk, ride a bike, jump rope, take an aerobics class or do any other
form of cardio, and sometimes your body uses your own muscle for energy. Since it is an "Anti-catabolic" it will allow
you to maintain as much muscle as possible and prevents muscle cell breakdown. If you are trying to lose fat L-
glutamine can be useful for anyone trying to lose fat and keep as much muscle as they can.
Improves your Immune System: Glutamine improves the immune system's ability to manufacture white blood cells
that in turn fight infection. Supplementing your body with nutrients such as Glutamine assists the body in resisting
outside assaults from pathogenic micro-organisms (unfriendly bacteria).
Cancer: Many people with cancer have low levels of glutamine. Supplemental glutamine is often given to malnourished
cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatments and sometimes used in patients undergoing bone
marrow transplants. Glutamine seems to help reduce stomatitis (an inflammation of the mouth) caused by
chemotherapy. Some studies, have suggested that taking glutamine orally may help reduce diarrhea associated with
chemotherapy. L-glutamine may reduce tumor growth. Taking L-glutamine may also reduce the pain and inflammation
associated with chemotherapy. Although people are able to synthesize L-glutamine, under circumstances of stress,
such as trauma, surgery, bone marrow transplantation and cancer chemotherapy, the body cannot make enough L-
glutamine to meet its needs. L-Glutamine amino acid is useful as a nutritional supplement for people undergoing
recovery from illness.
Other Uses: Glutamine appears to help reduce leakage through the intestinal wall. On this basis, glutamine has also
been suggested as a treatment for food allergies, according to the idea that in some people whole proteins leak
through the wall of the digestive tract and enter the blood, causing allergic reactions (so-called leaky gut syndrome).
Glutamine supplements have additionally been proposed as treatment for attention deficit disorder, ulcers and as a
brain booster.
