Why we include:

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid stored in muscle tissue that is produced naturally by the body. It is vital for removing excess ammonia, a common waste product that resides in the body. Glutamine supplementation can not only help an athlete prevent illness and prevent catabolism of muscle tissue, but it can actually boost growth hormone levels, enhance glycogen storage, and hydrate muscle cells--three components important in protein synthesis or energy metabolism.

Benefits:

1. Maintains muscle mass
2. Promotes healthy neurological function and also improves memory, concentration and mood
3. Improves metabolism and cellular detoxification
