NZ Protein L-Glutamine (300 g) (60 servings)

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, and is the primary transporter of nitrogen to muscle cells.

Intense training or increased stress to the body (such as with an injury) can lower the body's natural stores, and glutamine depletion may result.

Supplementing with glutamine during these periods may:

• Act as an anti-catabolic agent (helps to protect muscle against the hormone cortisol)
• Improve protein synthesis and accelerate glycogen re-synthesis post workout
• Aid with recovery from intense training
• Enhance the body’s immune system
• Elevate growth hormone levels
• Assist with wound healing and recovery from illness
• Assist with removing excess ammonia (a common waste product in the body)
• Increase brain function and digestion
• Reduce the desire for sweets or snacks between meals
