What is L-Glutamine?

L-Glutamine is an amino acid that our body can produce on its own (it is called non-essential), but under certain conditions it becomes conditionally essential. What does this mean in practice? That during high physical exertion, stress or recovery, the body's consumption of glutamine exceeds its natural production.

In our body, glutamine makes up to 60% of all free amino acids in muscle tissue. It is literally the building block on which the body's recovery and nitrogen balance is based.

The role of glutamine in the body: Why does the body require it?

Glutamine is not just "muscle fuel". Its role in the body is much broader. It functions as a key transporter of nitrogen and carbon into cells, which is essential for maintaining metabolic balance.

Key areas of action:

1. Muscle tissue: During intense training, blood glutamine levels drop dramatically. Its replenishment helps maintain the level of amino acids needed for proteosynthesis.

2. Glutamine is a preferred source of energy for certain cells, especially cells of the immune system and the lining of the small intestine (enterocytes), even more important than glucose.

3. Nitrogen balance.

Who is L-Glutamine for?

Don't be fooled - glutamine is not just for bodybuilders or strength athletes. Its benefits are appreciated by a wide range of users:

• Endurance athletes: Runners and cyclists who undergo prolonged exercise that depletes glycogen stores.
• Strength athletes.
• People on a reduction diet: When caloric intake is restricted, the body is at risk of losing muscle tissue - glutamine serves as a "protective shield" here.
• Active individuals with increased stress: Mental and physical stress increases the demands on free amino acid levels.

Glutamine and the intestinal barrier

Modern science is increasingly focusing on the so-called gut microbiome and the integrity of the intestinal wall. Glutamine is the main fuel for the cells lining our gut. A healthy gut is the basis for.

• Efficient absorption of all other nutrients from food.
• Proper functioning of the immune system (since a large proportion of immune cells reside in the gut).

The effects of L-Glutamine on recovery and immune function were evaluated in a systematic review and meta-analysis published in the peer-reviewed journal Clinical Nutrition.

How to dose correctly for maximum results?

In order for the effect of L-Glutamine to be noticeable, it is important not to underestimate the amount and timing.

Recommended daily dose: 6 capsules (total of 4500 mg of L-Glutamine).

Taking strategy:

• Training days: Divide the dose into 3 capsules approximately 30-60 minutes before training and 3 capsules immediately after training (ideally along with a protein drink or carbohydrate for better transport).
• Take 3 capsules in the morning on fasteddays and 3 capsules in the evening before bed. Glutamine during sleep supports natural recovery processes.

Always take the capsules with plenty of water. Avoid taking with hot beverages, which may devalue the amino acid.

Frequently asked questions

Can I combine glutamine with creatine?

Yes, it is one of the most popular combinations. While creatine takes care of cellular energy and strength, glutamine provides fiber recovery and protection.

Is it safe to take 6 capsules a day long term?

Yes. L-Glutamine is the body's own substance. There are no known side effects in healthy individuals when the recommended dosage is followed.

Why is it in capsules and not powder?

The capsules ensure complete dosage accuracy and are ideal for travel or the gym. Plus, it saves you from the specific taste of pure glutamine, which may not suit everyone.

Benefits:

• Pure form of L-Glutamine.
• A plant-based capsule suitable for everyone.
• A powerful 750 mg dose in one capsule allows you to achieve optimal daily intake without swallowing dozens of tablets.
