Balance 100% Pure L-Glutamine
Description
Balance 100% Pure L-Glutamine is ideal for bodybuilders and strength
athletes and individuals who need additional Glutamine for intense training
or exercise.
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue and
contributes up to 80% of the free nitrogen found in the body.
The most exciting news for bodybuilders and strength athletes is
Glutamine's effect on Growth Hormones (GH). GH is one of the body's anabolic
(muscle building) hormones. Glutamine plays a vital role in regulating the
body's acid-base balance by reducing lactic acid build-up that results from
the burning of glycogen for energy. Therefore Glutamine speeds up recovery
and increases endurance.

Balance 100% Pure L-Glutamine may be added to carbohydrate foods or non-acid fruit juice or other cold
beverage. Stir and serve.
NOTE: DO NOT EXCEED 3 SERVINGS (15g) DAILY WITHOUT PROFESSIONAL
ADVICE.
Precautions / Contra-indications
Well-tolerated, even in high doses.
However, diabetics, who have abnormal Glutamine metabolism should avoid
Glutamine supplementation, since higher than usual levels of this amino acid
may result in increased availability of blood glucose.
Mode of Action
Although Balance 100% Pure L-Glutamine is classified as a "non-essential amino acid, this simply
means that the body is able to synthesise this compound.
However, all cells in the body utilise Glutamine, although some cells depend
on it more than others. Glutamine is utilised as a source of energy and for
nucleotide synthesis by all rapidly dividing cells, including those that
line the intestines and some immune cells (thymocytes, lymphocytes and
macrophages).
In the absence of sufficient Glutamine, the intestines atrophy and the
immune function is impaired.
Needed for energy production and DNA and RNA synthesis Glutamine serves both
as a nitrogen and carbon donor and is thus an important muscle-building
amino acid; helping to replenish muscle glycogen after exercise.
Glutamine also has significant role in protecting both the body and in
particular the brain from ammonia toxicity through the synthesis of
glutamine from glutamate. Ammonia produces Nitrogen-based free radicals and
reduces ATP production through its interference with the oxidative
metabolism of neurons.
Glutamine users often report more energy, less fatigue and better mood and
part of this relates to its role in maintaining proper blood glucose levels
and pH.
The body's need for Glutamine increases beyond the normal 3.5 to 7g derived
from the diet, during periods of physical or emotional stress.
Balance 100% Pure L-Glutamine is also significant in maintaining a healthy gut, and improves the
absorption of other nutrients. It is a very important nutrient for
intestinal health.
When extra energy is required, Glutamine together with the amino acids
Alanine, Glycine, Serine and Threonine is readily catabolised in the liver
to glucose.
Indications
Ideal for reducing muscle dehydration and muscle catabolism.
Preserves muscle glutamine levels to aid recovery.
Supports new muscle growth.
