YAMAMOTO GLUTAMINE POWDER 300 GR

Glutamine powder is a dietary supplement with L-glutamine, suitable for athletes who perform physical activities that require intense muscle effort.

Glutamine is necessary in certain situations, including strenuous exercise, when the body cannot meet its needs.

Glutamine is an essential amino acid for the body, and it is especially concentrated in muscle tissue. It is necessary for the nervous system, is strongly involved in digestion processes and is an important intermediate for kidney and liver function.

Precisely because of its high availability in the body, L-glutamine performs multiple functions and our body also uses it as needed, for example converting it into another amino acid depending on the requirements and needs of different tissues.

Under normal conditions, glutamine is synthesized in the body mainly in skeletal muscles and, to a lesser extent, in the liver, brain and lungs.

Glutamine has several functions: it helps prevent muscle catabolism, promotes the absorption of nutrients in the intestines when the body is under intense load, or is used as an alternative source of energy. Precisely because of its gut health, glutamine has re-emerged in the fitness and supplement market in recent years: given the increasing incidence of intestinal and digestive stress, it is also useful in the mass phase to maintain gut health, which is put at risk by high calorie intake.

It also appears to play a role in delaying fatigue by promoting glycogen synthesis and reducing ammonia accumulation, while not raising insulin levels in any way. Muscle glycogen is essential for exercise and good performance during training, and taking glutamine is beneficial in this regard, especially during periods of low-carbohydrate diets or during the definition phase. Improves muscle recovery especially in men and supports cellular hydration.

It is also a safe supplement when taken chronically.

Recent studies suggest a glutamine intake of 8g per day post-workout when taken for glycogen re-synthesis, while amounts of around 20g per day are indicated when used for anti-catabolic purposes, to be taken post-workout or divided into several doses throughout the day.
