Repair+

L-Glutamine Powder (Source: Fermented from glucose) – Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid and is the most abundant free amino acid in muscle cells. L-Glutamine amino acid powder, is sourced from fermented glucose and is a great supplement to aid the repair of all cells and tissues in the body, including muscle tissue, internal organs, tendons, fascia, skin, hair and nails. Repair + is the perfect accompaniment to support the body for optimum health, for recuperation and for sports performance. L-Glutamine – the natural form of the amino acid glutamine – is an amazingly versatile nutrient. For example: it is critical for normal brain and immune function it has been used for the treatment of fatigue and alcoholism it is even reputed to help reduce sugar cravings in people trying to lose weight. L-Glutamine is synthesized from 3 other amino acids (or ‘building blocks’ of protein) – arginine, ornithine and proline. L-Glutamine is a also a component of glutathione, the body’s primary antioxidant, which is present in virtually every cell. If you are deficient in L- Glutamine, you are likely to be deficient in glutathione. One of the most notable properties of glutamine is that it is one of a handful of substances that can naturally boost the level of human growth hormone, which is essential for normal growth and development. In the past, growth hormone has been used experimentally as a treatment for the loss of muscle that often occurs among the sick and the elderly, and can lead to wasting syndrome. Although growth hormone can help maintain strength, the problem is that synthetic growth hormone is extremely expensive and, more importantly, can cause unpleasant side effects (such as water retention and arthritic symptoms). However, growth hormone-releasing agents, such as glutamine, can offer some of the positive effects of growth hormone minus the expense and the array of side effects. This is particularly important for people who are severely ill and who often succumb to wasting syndrome. In fact, glutamine is often given to patients with burn injuries to promote healing and to help strengthen immune function. People who regularly work out at an intense level are at risk of overtaxing their bodies, as well as losing lean tissue along with fat. As such, and due to its reputation as a protein=sparing agent, L-Glutamine has also attracted the attention of fitness buffs and athletes, who want to lose fat but maintain muscle.
