Now Sports Double Strength L-Glutamine 1000mg Veg Capsule, Pack of 120's

Now Sports L-Glutamine Double Strength 1000mg Veg Capsules contain glutamine, which is an important amino acid. This means that under certain conditions, the body may demand more glutamine than it can produce, especially in hard-charging athletes, bodybuilders, or exceptionally active people. In the body, glutamine acts as a critical nitrogen transporter and is required to maintain a healthy nitrogen equilibrium. The earliest and possibly most well-known application of L-Glutamine in sports and fitness is its ability to inhibit muscle breakdown and enhance muscle growth. Glutamine is also the primary fuel source for the immune system and gastrointestinal tract cells, which are rapidly growing. By supplementing with L-Glutamine, we preserve our cells by creating glutathione (GSH), one of the body's most powerful natural antioxidants that protects cells from damage and promotes immune function. Collectively, all of the aforementioned factors help us recover faster from exercise and may even lessen muscle discomfort after a strong workout. Supplementing with L-Glutamine can also help to improve gut barrier function, which prevents toxins and pathogens from entering our bodies and boosts immune function. This double strength product has twice as much L-Glutamine (1,000 mg per capsule) as Now's usual strength product (500 mg).
