L-Glutamine (Kaizen)
What is it?
Glutamine has traditionally been considered a "nonessential" amino acid, but current research suggests that it may be "conditionally essential" under certain metabolic conditions such as exercise. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and is involved in many metabolic processes. It is essential to muscle growth, and helps reduce the rate of muscle breakdown (anti-catabolic).
Glutamine also increases the concentration of plasma arginine and glutamate, two amino acids linked to muscle-strengthening growth hormone. It is the single most prominent amino acid and is the first one to loose when trauma occurs. Glutamine also helps to burn more fat while preserving muscle with growth hormone and is one of the the most effective, healthy ways to lose weight and keep it off. Also, if a person exercised, even gently, glutamine can maximize the benefits and minimize the discomfort. Glutamine has the potential to retard some of the effects of aging by preserving muscle mass and reducing fat accumulation. Growth hormone helps build and strengthen muscles and clear acid from body fluids, which at age 30, production declines. This is associated with muscle loss and increased body fat which Glutamine supplements helps stall. Glutamine is also used by the brain and central nervous system (CNS) to make neurotransmitters. Different neurotransmitters appear to get metabolized (used up) by heavy mental or physical stress. Glutamine helps increase energy, helps prevent mental fatigue, and basically keeps the brain "tuned up".
