L-GLUTAMINE POWDER
This is the "king" of amino acids. L-glutamine is best known among bodybuilders for being anti-catabolic. That means it prevents muscles from suffering tissue breakdown after hard exercise, thus resulting in faster recuperation. It also has an anabolic effect by creating a positive nitrogen balance in cells, which assists in the utilization of protein. This means speedier muscle tissue repair and rebuilding. Glutamine also helps stimulate the release of hGH (human growth hormone) when taken before going to sleep at night. hGH is responsible for new tissue growth. In one study, two grams of oral glutamine administered to young adult men were enough to cause over a 400% increase in the release of growth hormone. Glutamine has a "volumizing" effect on muscle cells. After workouts, glycogen is depleted. Glutamine increases the amount of glycogen synthesized in the liver and muscles, making muscles larger and fuller. Another feature of glutamine is that improves the function of the gut for better absorption of foods in the intestinal tract. A typical serving of glutamine is between 5 and 10 grams. One tablespoon equals approximately 5 grams. Glutamine has been found to be non-toxic at amounts of up to 40 grams per day. For best results, take in juice or water throughout the day, after training, and before bedtime. 1 kilogram lasts from four to six weeks when used regularly.
