Glutamine

Glutamine is literally part of your muscle makeup, the key facilitator of the recovery process of your body, a key nutrient within your blood, and one of the most important players in your body's immune, repair and rebuilding systems. Glutamine comprises a whopping 60% of all of your body's amino acids. So when you ask, what's the importance of Glutamine, we honestly can only answer with 'gosh, where do we start?'. Supplementation of Glutamine has a huge variety and vast benefit on your recovery, on your muscle growth, on boosting your immune system, on eliminating muscle soreness and even on gut health! As far as no-brainers go, Glutamine is certainly one in our books .

Glutamine is a natural amino acid within our body, the non-essential kind that means your body can naturally synthesise itself. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body, accounting for a total of 60% of all amino acids, and thus has some huge roles to play within your body - from recovery, to immunity, to overall health and wellness. However, Glutamine is often under-existing for active individuals. For those undertaking strenuous workouts and pushing their body a little harder, supplementation of Glutamine has proven benefits in getting your recovery fast tracked and more effective.

Glutamine functions as a recovery booster for your muscles through its properties as a transport system for nitrogen. Nitrogen stimulates healing in all kinds of stress and trauma, and is therefore an essential nutrient required by the body in the process of recovery - whether it be small muscular micro-tears, post-workout soreness, major injuries, or bouncing back from an intensive surgery. Therefore, without sufficient Glutamine, the nitrogen required for recovery doesn't get to the right place at the right time, and your body is left a little sorer and significantly slower in recovering and rebuilding than it otherwise can be.

Glutamine also acts upon the immune system - as a regulator of lymphocytes and cytokines - which are the white blood cells and the messengers for those white blood cells that control our immune response to pathogens (the cold and flu bugs that attack). Glutamine directs and ensures effective proliferation of lymphocytes, making sure they are sent to the right places when needed. Thus, to achieve a system that is most effective at keeping the bad guys out and your body in top notch function to keep performing at 100%, Glutamine is pretty readily needed. With supplementation, rather than spreading the Glutamine stores thin, your body has ready and plentiful supplies to achieve both function to maximum potential - with absolutely no trade-off.
