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 can help an athlete prevent catabolism of muscle tissue, enhance glycogen storage, and hydrate muscle cells--three components important in protein synthesis or energy metabolism.
Benefits:
- Maintains muscle mass
- Improves metabolism and cellular detoxification
