Life Extension L-Glutamine Description
-
Glutamine is an amino acid that your body uses to build protein. As such, it’s often taken in conjunction with muscle strength regimens.
-
But glutamine can also help power immune cells, supporting an optimal immune response. It’s also beneficial to gut health.
-
This L-glutamine supplement is non-GMO, vegetarian, gluten-free and delivers 500 mg of glutamine in every dose. Each bottle contains 100 vegetarian capsules
Glutamine can be found circulating in the blood, as well as stored in the skeletal muscles and liver, in concentrations ranging from 10- to 100-fold higher than any other amino acid.
Glutamine is utilized in a number of vital functions, including protein synthesis and production of the nucleotide units that make up DNA and RNA. Because of its importance in many cellular functions, glutamine is consumed at especially high rates during activities involving intense exercise.It is an important energy source for cells lining the gut and immune cells and critical for healthy gut and immune function. It is also a precursor of the brain neurotransmitter glutamate.
The function of glutamine in stimulating glycogen synthase, the enzyme that controls the synthesis and storage of glycogen fuel in muscles and liver, may provide a mechanism by which glutamine supplements promote enhanced fuel stores.
People who engage in heavy exercise can affect their glutamine levels, causing stress to their body and immune systems. Supplementing with glutamine can be important to a serious athlete, someone challenged with muscle loss or someone who wants to help maintain optimal immune function and energy level under heavy stress.
Studies indicate supplementing with glutamine can effectively raise glutamine concentrations in circulation and in muscle tissue, promote a healthy inflammatory response and support antioxidant defenses to maintain muscle health.

Fuel your active lifestyle - Glutamine is an amino acid your body uses for protein production. While it’s a must-have among serious athletes, glutamine is a great option for anyone who leads an active lifestyle.
-
Gut healthy, immune strong - Glutamine can be found in the blood, as well as stored in the skeletal muscles and liver, and in higher concentrations than any other amino acid. It’s an important energy source for cells lining the gut and immune cells, making it critical for a healthy digestive tract and immune response.
-
Antioxidant support - Regular body movement is terrific for whole-body health. But engaging in heavy exercise can affect glutamine levels, causing stress to the body. Our L-Glutamine formula helps support antioxidant defenses to maintain muscle health.
