AST GL3 Glutamine, 300 grams
Glutamine is the most common amino acid in the body and is key to the metabolism and maintenance of muscle tissue. GL3, 2-Aminoglutaramic Acid, is a pure L-Glutamine supplement in crystalline powder form. This glutamine powder will help you muscle building, quick recovery after intense workouts, and increase growth hormone.
Since AST GL3 Glutamine is highly popular, AST has introduced it in convenient capsule form too.
Glutamine literally takes muscle-building nitrogen into the muscle cell where it is produced for growth. The higher the muscle glutamine levels you can maintain, the less chance you have of falling into catabolism and the faster muscle will grow.
AST GL3 Glutamine Powder:
- Increases muscle hardness
- Increases protein synthesis
- Increases muscle strength
- Enhances recovery
- Increases muscle cell hydration
- Increases nitrogen retention
- increases immuno-responsiveness
- Enhances glycogen replenishment
- Helps prevent fatigue/overtraining syndrome
- Increases growth hormone - the most important anabolic hormone!
Glutamine powder increases growth hormone in the body, which is an important anabolic hormone. It regulates the metabolic processes (including protein synthesis) in almost all tissues during the human lifespan. Growth hormone stimulates several anabolic actions on skeletal muscle, which include the uptake of glucose and amino acids, activation of muscle protein synthesis, limit of muscle protein catabolism, and the utilization of body fat for energy.
Is glutamine a safe supplement?
Yes. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in our body - so we all live with a great deal of glutamine already in our system. Unlike other sports supplements, glutamine does not play with the hormone levels in our body. As long as you stay within the recommended dosage, there should not be any negative side effects to glutamine supplementation for body building.

Who should be taking Glutamine Powder?
|
|
|
Glutamine can be very helpful if:
You perform any type of serious workout;
You are going through any type of stressful event;
You are just trying to fight off the cold or flu.
Bodybuilders can particularly gain from the intake of glutamine. Since bodybuilders use a lot of their glutamine when working out, they are more susceptible to health related problems, as the immune system relies heavily on this amino acid.
Catabolism or muscle break down can occur if the body robs muscles of glutamine for use elsewhere such as nitrogen transport or maintaining the immune system. Glutamine supplementation is certainly important in keeping muscles building.

What does Glutamine do for me?
|
|
|
Bodybuilders need to supplement on glutamine as they burn lots of glutamine while exercising. Glutamine will help you muscle repair, provides energy, and maintains muscle cell volume and hydration.
Glutamine is highly in demand throughout the body. It is used in the gut and immune system extensively to maintain optimal performance. 60% of free-form amino acids floating in skeletal muscles is L-glutamine. L-glutamine plays a very important role in protein metabolism, and it appears to be a very important nutrient for body builders. When supplemented, it may help body builders reduce the amount of muscle deterioration that occurs because other tissues that need glutamine will not rob the glutamine stored in the muscle cells.
Research shows that after intensely working out, glutamine levels in the body are reduced by as much as 50%. Since the body relies on glutamine as cellular fuel for the immune system, scientific studies have shown that glutamine supplementation can minimize the breakdown of muscle tissue and improve protein metabolism. Its effects on replenishing the body after stress or trauma have been shown in Europe where it is commonly given to patients in hospitals. Glutamine's cell-volumizing effects have also been shown in several studies.
A recent study showed up to a 400% increase in growth-hormone levels when as little as 2 grams of free-form L-glutamine supplement was consumed!
