L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in our bodies. Our bodies produce it and it’s essential for making protein. You might be asking, if our bodies can make it, and it’s so abundant, why do I need to take a supplement? That’s what we’re going to tell you! Stored in our muscles and lungs, and making up 67% of our tissue, 60% of the amino acids in our bodies are L-Glutamine. Initially used by bodybuilders to preserve tissue, burn fat, and build muscle, the benefits go even beyond that.

But let’s get back to the why. If you’re someone with an intense training schedule who really enjoys pushing yourself, your glutamine levels are likely to drop significantly after a workout. To keep your body moving, and to avoid the risk of injury, taking L-Glutamine can help balance your levels and speed up the recovery process. Also, if you’re under a lot of stress, feeling sick, or recovering from an injury, your body releases cortisol into your bloodstream - a hormone that reduces the amount of stored glutamine in your system, weakening your immunity and rendering you more susceptible to illness and drowsiness.

Here are some of the benefits of taking L-Glutamine...

• Boosts your immunity through muscular detoxification
• Fights free radicals
• Supports brain function
• Improves gut health
• Beneficial for anyone who is immunocompromised
• Removes excess waste and toxins from our systems
• Speeds up muscle repair
• Reduces inflammation
• Essential for growth and repair of tissue
• Increases energy
• Balances nitrogen levels
• Reduces anxiety
• Aids in recovery from severe burns and wounds
