Glutamine Supplements for Sports Nutrition

Overall immune support*

Did you know that during exercise you’re not just stressing your muscles?

Physical exertion sets off a temporary cascade of physiological (normal) stress responses in the body that, if left unaddressed, can make it harder to recover and harder to achieve gains.

Got your attention? Good. Because glutamine not only can help to address the many different stressors that arise from physical exertion but can also help you in a variety of other ways.*

Glutamine for pre- and post-workout supplementation

Glutamine is considered a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning that when your body is under an inordinate amount of stress, such as during strenuous exercise, it needs more glutamine than it can normally produce internally.

Check out these glutamine benefits:

• Helps to maintain a positive nitrogen balance, referred to as an anabolic state, which is crucial for any active individual.*
• Aids in the production of rapidly growing cells, such as immune system lymphocytes and intestinal cell enterocytes, which can help to off-set some of the stress from physical exertion.*
• Helps to regulate the body’s acid-alkaline balance (also known as body pH); homeostasis is critical for overall fitness.*
