GL3 L-Glutamine
- 300 & 600 grams from AST Sports Science
GL3, 2-Aminoglutaramic Acid, is a pure L-Glutamine
supplement in crystalline powder form. Glutamine has become more
prominent as new studies reveal its unique contribution to protein
synthesis (muscle growth), anti-proteolytic (prevents muscle tissue
breakdown) functions and growth hormone elevating effects.
Glutamine provides a critical link in muscle metabolism
not shared by any other single amino acid, and GL3 makes utilizing
glutamine a realistic and effective endeavor. GL3 is pure, pharmaceutical
grade L-Glutamine in an odorless and tasteless powder.
Glutamine is the most abundant single amino acid
in the blood and in the intracellular free amino acid pool (most
abundant amino acid in muscle tissue). It comprises 61% of the amino
acid pool in skeletal muscle. Glutamine’s unique structure,
containing two nitrogen side chains, consists of 19% nitrogen -
making it the primary transporter of nitrogen into the muscle cell.
In fact, glutamine alone is responsible for 35% of the nitrogen
that gets into the muscle cell. Glutamine literally drives muscle
building nitrogen into the muscle cell where it is synthesized for
growth.
Glutamine concentrations fall markedly after training
and remain low until complete recovery. What this means is, the
very rigors of weight training “leak” nitrogen carrying
glutamine from muscle tissue. This fall in glutamine is catabolic
to muscle tissue - “The Training Paradox”.
Supplementing with glutamine spares free glutamine
in muscle tissue, counteracts the fall in muscle protein synthesis,
and improves nitrogen balance. Glutamine overcomes “The Training
Paradox”. By keeping a consistently high level of circulating
growth hormone, you are able to combat the catabolic effects of
weight training, harness the anabolic activity of increased glucose
and amino acid uptake, improve whole body nitrogen retention, and
increase lean tissue protein accrual. Supplementing with GL3 L-Glutamine
may just be the most effective way of assisting new muscle growth!
