Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, comprising more than 60% of the free amino acid pool in skeletal muscle and greater than 20% of total circulating amino acids. Supplemental L-Glutamine may help reduce muscle soreness and rebuild muscle tissue. Glutamine is also needed in great abundance by the immune system. Glutamine also helps memory and concentration, and aids in neutralizing the catabolic effects of cortisol, which is released upon strenuous exercise. Cortisol breaks down muscle tissue, Glutamine helps prevent this. This allows anabolism (muscle building) to take place more efficiently. L-Glutamine additionally plays an active role in the recovery and healing process. Optimum Nutrition's Glutamine Powder is made with Pure L-Glutamine, unflavored, and mixes easily by itself or blended with protein & MRP shakes.
