L-Glutamine is one of the most highly underrated supplements in sports performance! This amino acid is versatile in function, supportive of many health roles.
KEY BENEFITS
1. Quick Recovery
Research has shown that athletes can benefit from L-glutamine supplementation to decrease muscle soreness and improve recovery time.
This amino acid plays a crucial role in controlling glucose (energy) uptake by the muscles after exercise, which can help restore their energy stores for your next workout. When your muscles have optimal glucose stores, you perform better and take longer to fatigue.
Long periods of strenuous training have been shown to decrease blood glutamine levels, making L-glutamine potentially a very useful supplement for your post-workout nutrition plan.
2. Increased Lean Body Mass and Power
When combined with creatine, L-Glutamine supplementation has been shown to increase lean body mass and power with endurance exercise.
Studies have shown additional potential benefits, such as:
• Limited strength loss and reduced muscle soreness
• Feeling less fatigued
• Longer time until exhaustion in endurance exercise
• Feeling less fatigued
• Longer time until exhaustion in endurance exercise
3. Weight Loss
Coupled with increased body mass often comes weight loss — muscle tissue burns more than fat tissue, and increases your metabolism over time. Diets high in protein and amino acids like glutamine are more filling because they slow down digestion and signal to your brain that you are full - potentially reducing overall calorie intake.
Glutamine has also been shown to help with blood sugar regulation and prevention of obesity after consistent supplementation.
4. Boost in Immunity
Athletes who follow intense training schedules tend to have weakened immune systems due to the constant physical stress of high-intensity exercise.
L-glutamine is actually used to help the immune system of critically ill patients in hospital, due to its protective effect on cells in our immune system.
Research shows that L-glutamine plays a role in both immune cell production (having enough to fight off germs) and the gut’s function as a physical barrier to infection. For these reasons, there may be a potential benefit to your immune system from an L-glutamine supplement as well.
