What is Glutamine?
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body. It is
called a non-essential amino acid, because it is a component of
protein that can be manufactured by the body from other amino
acids. Just because it is non-essential does not mean that the
body cannot benefit from its supplementation. Glutamine is
depleted by stress, physical injuries and inflammation, in areas
like the intestine. It promotes muscle growth, stops muscle
depletion caused by the stress hormone cortisol and it is an
alternative fuel source for the brain when glucose is not
readily available. The promotion of lean muscle mass by
glutamine is its most well known quality. Athletes have been
using glutamine as a performance-enhancing supplement for many
years. Medically, glutamine can rebuild lean tissue after
periods of convalescence, surgery or muscle wasting illnesses.
It optimizes immune functioning in cases of HIV infection.
Glutamine is the primary fuel source for cells that line the
digestive tract. These fragile cells can be rebuilt with
L-glutamine after damage from intestinal inflammation like
ulcerative colitis, stomach ulcers or radiation from cancer
therapy. In the liver glutamine enhances the activity of
glutathione, an antioxidant responsible for detoxifying drugs
and alcohol. In the brain glutamine provides energy to brain
cells and is helpful in cases of depression, senility and
developmental disorders. Glutamine can reduce cravings for sugar
and alcohol.
What are Amino Acids?
Amino acid complexes can be used for many different health and
performance enhancing purposes. Recently high protein diets have
made protein a popular supplement for weight loss. Protein slows
the rate at which sugar enters the body. By avoiding spikes in
blood sugar protein minimizes the storage of sugar as fat.
Individuals with blood sugar imbalances, like diabetes and
hypoglycemia, will benefit from protein’s regulation of blood
sugar. Protein also builds muscle tissue, which burns more
energy than other body tissue and can lead to weight loss.
Athletes, people who perform physical labour and anyone who is
physically active requires protein to repair their tissue and
build more lean tissue. People who are recovering from illness
or long periods of inactivity require protein to rebuild their
body tissue. The immune system is dependent on protein to make
cells that protect our body. Frequent colds and flus and chronic
infections are signs that the body may need more protein. |
