OLIMP L-Glutamine Powder is a product containing 100% pharmaceutical pure micronized form of glutamine - an amino acid found in high concentrations in muscles and plasma. Glutamine is the most important amino acid for muscle tissue adaptation. It stores organic nitrogen which contributes to nitrogen balance. It distributes amino groups for transamination for muscle protein synthesis. Glutamine constitutes over 60% of the free amino acid reserves in muscle cells and over 20% of the amino acids found in the body. Micronized L-glutamine is a form that is easier to absorb and much more active than traditional glutamines and glutamine peptides. OLIMP L-Glutamine Powder increases the development of strength and muscle mass, exhibits a strong anti-catabolic action and inhibits the activity of lysosomal enzymes that destroy muscle proteins, converts into glutathione and raises the level of this substance. As an antioxidant, glutathione stabilizes lysosomal membranes and inhibits the release of lysosomal catabolic enzymes. As a transport molecule for amino acids in the gamma-glutamyl cycle, it facilitates protein synthesis and contributes to positive nitrogen balance. It increases cell hydration and muscle glycogen reserves. Intended use: for strength and endurance athletes, especially those looking to increase muscle mass.
