Amino acid L- glutamine plays a pivotal role in the nitrogen balance in the body. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in muscle tissue. "Glutamine constitutes over 60% of the total intramuscular amino acids. Glutamine is the most widely used amino acid in the body, during stress (high intensity weightlifting, dieting and malnutrition) glutamine levels in the body decrease at almost 50%. Unfortunately for athletes and bodybuilders hoping to benefit from glutamine, protein synthesis takes a back seat to the more important roles the body considers essential for survival, such as the immune system. In other words, ones body can only produce a certain amount of glutamine per day (about 50 mmol/h). Hence, the demand exceeds the supply, anabolic conditions are never met, thus supplementation is needed. An anabolic state is what the athlete wishes to achieve with glutamine supplementation. "Glutamine acts a a regulator of protein synthesis, increasing protein synthesis and decreasing protein degradation of skeletal muscle--both actions being dependent on the size of the intracellular glutamine pool. Glutamine, in addition to alanine, is the major interorgan NITROGEN carrier. 90% of nitrogen is released as glutamine.
Gln Peptide supplies the amino acid L-glutamine in the most stabile peptide form. This form can penetrate the gut barrier and effectively increase the glutamine pool. In the contrast when L-glutamine is supplied as a free amino acid, only a minor part goes to the blood, the main part is absorbed by gut cells for their own nutrition.
Amino acid L-glutamine, one of the most abundant amino acids in the skeletal muscles, plays the pivotal role in the nitrogen balance in the body. Replenishment is needed by prolonged high - intensity physical exercise as well as by mental work or stress that may lead to its deficiency.
Glutamine Peptides
Glutamine Peptides form a natural source of the conditionally essential amino acid glutamine from high quality wheat protein, derived by hydrolysis with food grade enzymes: Approximately 30% of the what protein hydrolystate (peptide) is glutamine.
Glutamine Peptide and Sports Nutrition
Glutamine Peptides form an essential supplement in sports nutrition developed for athletes and exercising people who set high standards for proper restoration of the energy depot of fatigued muscle and functionality of a weakened immune system due to heavy physical exercise.
The benefits of Glutamine Peptides:
Glutamine Peptides are a natural source of glutamine. Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid, supplementation is needed during catabolic stress conditions, such as heavy exercise.
- - Glutamine Peptides have numerous biological benefits over L-Glutamine.
- - Glutamine Peptides have various application advantages superior to L-Glutamine
Enhancing muscle function
Enhances skeletal muscle by stimulating protein synthesis and inhibiting protein degradation. Glutamine is a precursor of amino acids, peptides, proteins and nucleic acids. In contrast to free glutamine Glutamine Peptides can enhance recovery of muscle function after injury (hypoxia).
Enhancement glycogenesis
Stimulation of hepatic glycogen synthesis and muscle glycogen restoration. Glutamine is a substrate for glycogensis. This results implies that Glutamine Peptides intake enhances muscle recovery after intensive exercise.
Anabolic fuel
Enhancement of gut and lung epithelial integrity by serving as the major fuel and biosynthetic precursor. Glutamine is fuel for rapidly replicating cells, including epithelial and immune cells. It provides ATP via tricarboxylic cycle.
Precusor for antioxidant glutathione
Preventing free radical injury by acting as a precursor for glutathione. Glutamine is an important source of glutamate. The tripeptide glutathione comprises glutamate, cysteine, and Glycine.
Glutamine Peptide: Biological Benefits
Peptide absorption
Peptides are absorbed more readily, resulting in better nitrogen retention and protein synthesis.
Beneficial branched chain amino acids
Besides being a source of glutamine, Glutamine Peptides are also rich in branched chain amino acids (BCAA), such as leucine, valne and phenylalanine. BCAA intake is related to decreased perceived exertion (having a sparing effect on muscle glycogen degradation) and mental fatigue during exercise.
Ingrendients: glutamine peptide, gelatin (capsule), magnesium stearate (processing aid).
Serving Size: One capsule up to 5 times daily one hour before meal or on empty stomach,
or 5 capsules immediately after an exercise.
