Supplement Direct Glutamine 1500

Glutamine is one of the most versatile of all amino acids, and among the top aminos used by elite athletes. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid (protein building block) in the body and is involved in more metabolic processes than any other amino acid. Glutamine is converted to glucose when more glucose is required by the body as an energy source. It serves as a source of fuel for cells lining the intestines. It is also used by white blood cells and is important to support immune function.

Glutamine has recently been the focus of much scientific interest. A growing body of evidence suggests that during certain stressful times the body may require more glutamine than it can produce. Under these circumstances Glutamine may be considered a positive nitrogen balance (an anabolic state) and also aids rapidly growing cells (immune system lymphocytes and intestinal cell entorocytes). In addition, Glutamine is a regulator of acid base balance and nitrogen transporter.
