Solgar L-Glutamine 1000mg 60 Tabs

SOLGAR L-Glutamine 1000mg is among SOLGAR's premium amino acid products, containing L-Glutamine, an essential amino acid for every muscle in the body.

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are needed for many internal body functions. They are classified as 'essential' or 'non-essential', with essential amino acids being unable to be produced by the body and needing to be supplemented through diet to maintain general good health. Amino acids can also be used by the body to create hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies and nutrient carriers. Insufficient intake of essential amino acids increases the body's need for non-essential amino acids, either through diet or supplementation. Foods that increase amino acid intake are meat, beans, cheese and eggs. L-Glutamine is the most common amino acid and is found in large quantities in the muscles. Essentially, approximately 60% of the total amino acids in muscles is glutamine. It is considered a non-essential amino acid (because it is produced by the body), but as it provides fuel for muscles, sometimes more glutamine is required than can be produced in sufficient quantities. For example, during intense exercise, glutamine reserves are reduced as the body is placed under stress and more glutamine is required in muscles and tendons. In this case, to minimise muscle breakdown, we must obtain glutamine from diet or through supplements. Natural sources of glutamine are grass-fed beef, wild-caught fish, cottage cheese, asparagus and broccoli. Even when you include foods rich in glutamine in your diet or use whey powder, supplementation may benefit you.

SOLGAR L-Glutamine 1000mg is taken with 1-2 Tablets daily.
