HPLC Tested for Purity 100% Micronized Fitness Recovery Anti-Catabolic Optimizes Recovery Essential for Protein Synthesis Supports Intestinal & Immune Health Dietary Supplement Certified Vegan Produced in a Certified Facility GMP - Good Manufacturing Practices L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body (including the brain, muscle and blood). The concentration of free glutamine appears to influence whether muscle will be broken down (catabolism - low glutamine content) or built up (anabolism - high glutamine content). Glutamine acts as a "nitrogen shuttle" by picking up and dropping off nitrogen around the body. Nitrogen is an essential component of DNA, and vital for building muscle. Glutamine is prominent contributor to the functional integrity of the intestines and serves as an energy source for these highly active cells. Overall L-Glutamine supports muscle growth and recovery, immune and intestinal health, and preserves muscles after intense training and during times of stress or sickness.
