Prolab: Glutamine Powder

Prolab Glutamine won the Bodybuilding.com Glutamine Product Of The Year award for 2005 and 2006! Glutamine, the forgotten supplement, is comparable to creatine in results, and in some instances, is even better! Known for speeding up muscle recovery, increasing strength and energy enhancement, Glutamine is surmised to work!*

Pure Glutamine Powder contains the "conditionally essential" amino acid L-Glutamine. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue and plays a key role in many bodily functions.* During stressful situations (i.e. heavy resistive weight training) the body can lose a large amount of glutamine. A loss of glutamine during exercise may be a signal for protein catabolism (muscle breakdown). Studies suggest that glutamine supplementation may prevent the loss of body mass through the positive role glutamine plays in protein synthesis.* When muscle glutamine levels are restored and in a positive nitrogen balance muscle synthesis can return to a normal rate. Glutamine also has actions on glucose metabolism and the regulation of gluconeogenesis.* Glutamine converts to glucose without changes in either insulin or glucagen, the hormones that regulate blood sugar.* During dieting, and times of carbohydrate depletion, glutamine can exert positive effects on the amount of body fat loss as well as the retention of lean body mass.*

Glutamine is the single most abundant amino acid found in skeletal muscle and is widely believed to help with muscle cell volumization.* Enhance your training and nutrition program with Glutamine Powder. A recent study suggested an increase in growth-hormone levels when as little as 2 grams of free-form L-glutamine supplement was consumed!* Get ripped and huge!*
