A: Yes, glutamine is a naturally occurring amino acid that the body makes.
A: Take it after a workout when muscle catabolism is at its highest point. This will prevent breakdown and promote new tissue growth.
A: Allmax suggests stacking glutamine with IsoFlex protein powder.
Recover with the most abundant amino acid in the muscles.
Glutamine is a natural amino acid that is found in foods like beans, poultry, fish, and dairy. It is very abundant in the body and it is known as a conditionally essential amino acid. The body can manufacture glutamine on its own, but during intense workouts, the body may not be able to keep up. Glutamine has a part in protein metabolism, strengthens the immune system, and supports recovery. It can also remove lactic acid and prevent soreness.
Exercising increases the hormone cortisol, which is responsible for stress and catabolism. Glutamine can block the action of cortisol and encourage muscle protein synthesis and repair. Catabolism is at its peak after a workout, so this is the optimal time to consume glutamine. Glutamine has been shown to increase the number of HSPs (Heat Shock Proteins). Along with helping recovery and boosting the immune system, it creates new muscle tissue by increasing these proteins. It speeds up recovery by increasing absorption of electrolytes.
Glutamine is a naturally occurring substance in the body and in food, so it can be used by men and women.
Allmax Nutrition recommends that you take one teaspoon (4.5 g) of Glutamine once to twice a day. Mix in fruit juice or your favorite beverage. For optimal results, take Glutamine immediately following intense training and directly before bedtime.
