Description

L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in muscle cells, comprising over 60% of skeletal muscle. Among 20 amino acids, glutamine provides the most versatility of amino acid metabolism and immune function and plays a vital role in intestinal health. However, glutamine needs can often be greater than its ability to produce it, therefore adequate intake and supplementation can be of great benefit.

EHPlabs’ L-Glutamine is HPLC tested to ensure that it is the highest quality pharmaceutical grade glutamine.

ENHANCES IMMUNITY & OPTIMISES INTESTINAL HEALTH

Glutamine is highly utilised by the immune system as glutamine is essential for immune cell proliferation and function ¹. Various factors such as increased physical activity, can reduce levels of circulating glutamine, therefore making these individuals more susceptible to illness ² ³. L-glutamine has also been shown to boost immune system function through inhibition of inflammatory responses ¹. As a result, glutamine supplementation has been shown amongst various studies to increase glutamine concentrations and support the immune system ³.

Glutamine also plays a major role in digestive health. This is because the gut is where glutamine is mostly metabolised ⁴. Glutamine is responsible for helping repair and maintain gut barrier function of the small intestines ⁴. Glutamine also helps protect the intestines from damage and injury ⁴. As a result, glutamine supplementation can help improve gut health, and even help reduce symptoms and severity of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and digestive issues commonly associated with celiac disease ⁴ ⁵ ⁶

INCREASES LEAN MUSCLE MASS & DELAYS DOMS

L-glutamine is an amino acid which serves as a building block for protein, aiding in muscle gain and exercise performance. According to a recent meta-analysis, glutamine has a significant effect on weight reduction ⁷. This can be supported by a study in which participants took glutamine during six weeks of weight training and showed an increase in lean tissue mass and improved strength ⁸. Another study showed that eight weeks of glutamine supplementation resulted in increased upper and lower body strength, increased muscular power, and reduced body fat ⁹. Findings also show that supplementation increases the rate of recovery after exercise, reduces muscle damage, and reduces DOMS ¹⁰ ¹¹.

FAQs

WHAT IS GLUTAMINE?

Glutamine is a naturally occurring amino acid that can be produced by your body, but is one of the most important supplements you need for physical training. This is due to the fact that the majority of your glutamine is stored in muscles, so a significant amount (~50%) can be lost after an intense workout.

HOW MANY SERVINGS OF GLUTAMINE CAN I TAKE PER DAY?

Start with 1 scoop per day, and if desired slowly work your way up to 2 scoops if you're able to tolerate it. Don't exceed more than 10g at a time, so if taking large amounts of Glutamine split it into 10g doses throughout the day.

WHAT TIME OF DAY SHOULD I TAKE GLUTAMINE?

Glutamine should be taken immediately post-workout as your intramuscular levels will be at their lowest. On non-training days, it is best taken in the morning.

WHAT MAKES EHPLABS' L-GLUTAMINE THE HIGHEST GRADE GLUTAMINE?

Here at EHPLabs, our scientists have worked tirelessly to create the highest quality of L-Glutamine - it is 100% pure pharmaceutical grade L-Glutamine with no added fillers or cheap bulking ingredients that some other supplements may have.

IS GLUTAMINE STACK SAFE WITH ANY OTHER PRODUCTS FROM THE EHPLABS RANGE?

Yes, our glutamine has been scientifically designed to be stack safe with all of our EHPLabs products.

I'M NEW TO THE GYM - IS GLUTAMINE ESSENTIAL TO MY PROGRESSION?

Being new to the gym, glutamine will be of large benefit to you as it will help you to maximise the effects of your workouts and help with your progression throughout your journey.

WHAT POSITIVE EFFECTS DOES GLUTAMINE HAVE FOR ME OUTSIDE OF THE GYM?

Glutamine is a crucial amino acid in your body and plays many roles. Even outside of the gym, glutamine is used by your body in high amounts during periods of stress, helps to improve immune function, supports digestive health, mental wellness and also helps to improve muscle glycogen stores independent of insulin.
