Sci-Fit Glutamine, 1800 mg 200 caps
Glutamine is a protein amino acid found in proteins of all life forms. L-Glutamine is considered an conditionally essential amino acid, meaning that the body produces enough under normal circumstances. However, when undergoing extreme metabolic stress the body can become L-Glutamine deficient, which can cause immunosuppresion and skeletal muscle catabolism.*
Supplemental L-Glutamine has numerous positive effects on the body under such circumstances:* L-Glutamine may have a anticatabolic/anabolic (protects/builds) effect on skeletal muscle tissue. L-Glutamine may be an immunomodulatory substance. It does so by by protecting the integrity of the gastrointestinal tract and by supporting the proliferation of Lymphocytes. L-Glutamine may have antioxidant activity. * Physicians Desk Reference for Nutritional Supplements, p.261-264.
