Primary Glutamine

About Primary Glutamine

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body where most of it is found in the muscles. Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning that under certain conditions your body's requirement for glutamine increases.

The Science behind Glutamine

The importance of protein after exercise is well understood but less is discussed of the amino acid, Glutamine. Glutamine is found in abundance within the human body, with skeletal muscle being the major contributor involved in its production. The role of glutamine is a varied one, from nutrient transport, metabolite regulation, energy production, cell growth and immunity support. In spite of this amino acid being found in great quantity, the turnover of glutamine is high, most noticeably is the intramuscular and plasma decline seen following prolonged or arduous exercise. Such periods of glutamine suppression have been linked to immunodepression. Fortunately, glutamine naturally occurs in whey protein powder although in a relatively small quantity and therefore you could top up with Primary Glutamine.
