Description
Description
– Muscle volumization based on increased cell density (and not water retention in the muscle).
– Increased muscle mass.
– Promotes anti-catabolic processes (recovery from intense wear and tear).
Recently, glutamine has been the focus of much scientific interest. A growing body of evidence suggests that during certain times of stress, the body may require more glutamine than it can produce. Under these circumstances, glutamine can be considered a "conditionally essential" amino acid. Glutamine is involved in maintaining a positive nitrogen balance (an anabolic state) and also supports rapidly growing cells (such as lymphocytes in the immune system and enterocytes in the intestine). Furthermore, glutamine is a regulator of acid-base balance and a nitrogen transporter.
Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in muscle tissue. In addition to acting as a nutrient for immune cells, glutamine has an important anabolic function, promoting muscle growth. This effect may be associated with its ability to absorb water into the intracellular environment, thus stimulating protein synthesis.

The human body, under stress, may require more glutamine than it can produce. This is why NOW® L-Glutamine 500 mg is an essential and multifaceted supplement. While it helps regulate muscle mass, it's an important amino acid for bodybuilders, and it also plays a fundamental role in balancing the immune system and in glucose synthesis, even improving insulin metabolism. Glutamine is also the preferred energy source for rapidly dividing cells, such as enterocytes (intestinal cells) and lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell found in the blood). This amino acid plays a role in acid-base balance, as a nitrogen transporter, and as a precursor to important macromolecules (e.g., proteins and nucleic acids). For all these reasons, glutamine, unlike other amino acids, is considered a "conditionally essential" amino acid. Glutamine alone makes up approximately 61 percent of the amino acids that form our skeletal muscles. Loss of muscle glutamine can be a sign of muscle catabolism, but also of the immune system, as it also absorbs a large portion of glutamine supplementation. Therefore, it is crucial that its reserves are maintained, ensuring that the immune system utilizes the reserves of this amino acid in our muscles, thus protecting our muscle mass.
Glutamine is also an important precursor for the synthesis of Glutamate and Gamma-Aminobutylic Acid (GABA), which are seen as excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain, respectively.
Therefore, Glutamine could have a role to play at the brain level.
As mentioned, glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body and is able to cross the blood-brain barrier, giving it an important function in the brain. Upon reaching the brain, glutamine is quickly converted to glutamic acid, which increases the amount of GABA present. Subsequently, glutamic acid captures an ammonia molecule, synthesizing it again to glutamine, which detoxifies the brain of ammonia. NOW® L-Glutamine supplementation is essential for maintaining glutamine levels, thus controlling muscle catabolism, maintaining acid/base balance, reducing OTS (Overtraining Syndrome) symptoms, and all the other effects mentioned above. NOW® L-Glutamine comes in free form, allowing for maximum absorption.
