CS L-glutamine

ActivLab L-GLUTAMINE CLASSIC SERIES is a dietary supplement in powder form, based on L-glutamine, an essential amino acid naturally found in the body. It makes up nearly 60% of the amino acids that build muscles. In certain situations, L-glutamine becomes an exogenous amino acid, as the body’s demand for it increases. This product also features added taurine.

The Power of L-GLUTAMINE CLASSIC SERIES Ingredients:

• L-Glutamine: This is one of the 20 amino acids that make up plant and animal proteins. The human body naturally produces it, and can even synthesize it using toxic ammonia.

  • For Athletes: Glutamine is highly valued by athletes, not only because it is a major building block of muscle fibers. Glutamine supplementation accelerates post-workout recovery, proven by observations of fatigue markers (oxidative stress, inflammation), which indirectly leads to improved athletic performance. Glutamine actively removes ammonia produced by muscles during intense work [1]. Supplementation helps athletes increase glycogen stores in muscles and the liver, allowing them to tap into a greater energy source during exercise [2].
  • For Immune Support: Scientists consider glutamine an “immunonutrient”, a nutrient for the immune system. It is the primary fuel for immune cells, which require increasing amounts of glutamine as they multiply rapidly. When glutamine levels in the bloodstream are depleted, muscle breakdown (catabolism) occurs, releasing glutamine. Supplementation can prevent this phenomenon (anti-catabolic effect) and provide fuel for lymphocytes and fibroblasts [3]. Studies suggest that L-glutamine supplementation can support the treatment of patients affected by Covid-19 [4].
  • For Gut Health: Glutamine is crucial for managing leaky gut syndrome. This intestinal disorder arises from harmful microorganisms penetrating from the gut into the bloodstream, leading to symptoms like diarrhea or constipation, bloating, insomnia, chronic fatigue, mood disorders, concentration problems, and skin issues. Scientific studies indicate glutamine supplementation as a remedy to restore intestinal tightness [5].

• Taurine: Although an exogenous amino acid, taurine doesn’t build proteins. However, it plays a vital role in energy metabolism. Supplementation can enhance endurance in athletes [6].

Who Should Use L-GLUTAMINE CLASSIC SERIES:

L-glutamine is a versatile product with wide applications. It is especially important during periods of inflammation and infection, as immune cells prioritize its use from blood serum. Including L-glutamine in your supplement regimen ensures that it continues to support other bodily processes.

How to Use L-GLUTAMINE CLASSIC SERIES:

Take 10g daily, divided into two servings:

• Training Days: 5g after waking up and 5g after training.
• Non-training Days: 5g after waking up and 5g before bed.
