Life Pro Glutamine 250g

WHAT IS LIFE PRO GLUTAMINE?

L-glutamine is one of the amino acids (20 amino acids) which, together with the others, make up proteins. L-glutamine has several functions that are necessary for health and even more so when doing any kind of sport.

L-glutamine helps to control muscle fatigue by reducing the acids in the muscles, such as lactic acid, which is involved in stiffness. This amino acid is important as it is also responsible for protein synthesis; another function of L-glutamine is to prevent muscle mass degradation.

L-glutamine is a non-essential amino acid which means that it can be synthesised in the organism from other amino acids such as valine, isoleucine or glutamic acid, however, it is considered a "conditioned essential amino acid" or semi-essential since in conditions of physical or psychological stress, trauma, infection, intense training, etc, its consumption is greater than its synthesis: the organism demands so much glutamine that it is not able to synthesise it in sufficient quantity.

Thanks to its formula it prevents the catabolism that occurs after intense physical exertion or overtraining, which leads to the breakdown of damaged muscles and cells.

Life Pro Bcaa Glutamine delays fatigue while helping to increase your energy performance. Ideal for increasing athletes' endurance, strength and muscle development.

WHAT IS GLUTAMINE?

Glutamine is one of the 20 amino acids which are necessary for our body to carry out various functions.

Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid. This means that it can be produced by the body without the need for dietary intake. However, increasing its quantity through quality supplementation can have multiple benefits. It plays a number of vital roles in relation to gaining and maintaining muscle mass and recovery after physical activity. 

It is the amino acid with the greatest presence in the different muscle groups, and in general, it makes up approximately 60% of skeletal muscle tissue, making it the one with the greatest number of functions assigned to it.

This amino acid is also present in the spinal cord, blood plasma, heart, lungs, kidneys, cerebrospinal fluid and liver.

It has the ability to be converted into glucose when required: it is transformed into energy when our muscles require it. It is therefore important to ensure adequate levels, especially for recovery and endurance sports.

THE PROPERTIES OF GLUTAMINE

• Glutamine is one of the most abundant amino acids in muscle tissue. It is a percussor of protein synthesis: due to the composition of this amino acid, one of its main functions is the transport of nitrogen in organs and tissues to carry out the functions related to different metabolic processes.
• It helps to prevent catabolism or loss of muscle mass. It is also involved in improving recovery after injuries.
• Glutamine transports ammonia (a toxic substance for the organism) from the muscle to the liver to be eliminated.  Regulation of acid-base balance.
• If glycogen stores are empty and energy is required, glutamine is transformed for use: it acts and is used as an energy substrate to carry out ATP resynthesis. Adequate levels can promote endurance in athletes.  In high-intensity training, it can help to improve performance, and reduce fatigue as a consequence.
• It plays an important role in the synthesis of glutathione. Glutathione is a protein whose main function is to protect our body's cells, tissues and organs. It is the most important antioxidant in the human body and is called the universal antioxidant. 
• Glutamine is one of the precursor substances of glutathione, one of the most powerful antioxidants in the body. Because of this, it supports the proper functioning of the immune system.
• In addition, it is involved in carrying out brain functions: Glutamic acid functions as a neurotransmitter in the brain. Neurons use it as a transmitter substance, promoting mental activity and brain functions.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LIFE PRO GLUTAMINE?

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body that can be used as energy.

It improves recovery and contributes to increased energy production.

It improves intestinal health by enhancing the absorption of nutrients and promoting the anabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, which has an impact on increasing muscle mass. 

Boosts the immune system by offering protection against infection and disease. 

It is a precursor of glutathione, the body's most powerful antioxidant, as well as having a high detoxifying power. 

It can help promote fat loss and minimises recovery times, fatigue and muscle soreness. 

It acts as a neurotransmitter, promoting the proper functioning of the brain. 

Glutamine does not need to be digested. When ingested, it is transported directly to the muscle tissue where it is required. 

For this reason, it is a versatile and convenient supplement to be taken both before and during workouts, as it does not cause heaviness or stomach discomfort.

Improves intestinal health by enhancing the absorption of nutrients and promoting the anabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, which has an impact on increasing muscle mass. 

Reduces wound healing and injury recovery time.

Stimulate protein synthesis and prevent catabolism or loss of muscle mass.

They help to maintain glycogen stores as they can be used as fuel and therefore prevent fatigue or postpone it.

DOES GLUTAMINE BREAK THE FAST?

Yes, glutamine-based supplements break the fasting state. 

Despite its format, which is obtained by mixing the powder with water, it has certain calories because it is part of protein, a macronutrient that generally provides 4kcal per gram.

In order to be used in the cells, they need to have that insulin peak that breaks the fast.

CAN GLUTAMINE DEFICIENCY OCCUR IN THE BODY?

Yes, a glutamine deficiency can occur in the body. The main symptoms are usually the appearance of fatigue and tiredness, loss of muscle mass and various gastrointestinal problems.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Take 3 to 6 grams before training and another dose before bedtime for recovery.

RECOMMENDED USE: Training days: The basic recommended dose is 5 grams (1cup = 10 grams) after training. NON-training days: You can rest or continue with the same dose. RECOMMENDED DAILY DOSE: 5 g per day.
