Glutamine is an amino acid that is quite prevalent in the
body naturally. Glutamine research, stated that "most amino
acids have multiple functions, but glutamine appears to be the
most versatile." Let's look at what L-Glutamine is, and what it
does with regard to the body. Glutamine is a nonessential amino
acid (protein building block) that is made in the body via
conversion from a relative amino acid (AA) called Glutamic acid.
It is more appropriately considered a "conditionally essential
amino acid" and is the most abundant AA in human plasma and
muscle.
Glutamine is energy sources utilized by rapidly
proliferating cells. It is a major fuel source for the brain and
together with its relatives the stimulant neurotransmitter.
Glutamic acid the most abundant amino group in the human brain.
Glutamine is also an important fuel source for enterocytes and
supports intestinal maintenance and normal function, Glutamine
role in DNA synthesis and serves as a primary transporter of
nitrogen into the muscle tissues. Glutamine plays a vital role
to building and maintenance of muscle tissue. Glutamine helps
the body maintain a healthy balance and necessary for making and
repairing cells. Its also helps in Depression and Mood
Disorders, General Energy Booster, Mental Energy, Insulin
Resistance, Exercise Endurance, Stress Tolerance,
Gastrointestinal Disorders
The extremely popular amino acid L-Glutamine can be found in
protein powders, beans, meats, fish, poultry, dairy products,
and of course, L-Glutamine supplements.
Glutamine Need & Usage
Glutamine is a supplement that is used in weightlifting and
bodybuilding, as well as those who suffer for
muscular cramps or
pain - particularly elderly people. The main use of glutamine
within the diet of either groups is as a means of replenishing
the body's stores of amino acids that have been used during
exercise or everyday activities.
There are still studies which are looking into problems with
excessive consumption of Glutamine, which thus far have proved
inconclusive. However, normal supplementation is healthy mainly
because glutamine is supposed to be supplemented after prolonged
periods of exercise (For example, a workout or exercise in which
amino acids are required for use) and replenishes amino acid
stores; this being the main reason glutamine is reccomended for
those who suffer from trauma, immune deficiencies, cancer, or
during fasting
Under normal circumstances, the body is capable of manufacturing
all the Glutamine it needs to create these proteins. When the
body is under stress from illness or even vigorous exercise,
muscle tissue releases L-Glutamine to meet immediate demands in
other parts of the body. Some nutritionists believe that the
body's demand for glutamine may exceed its ability to produce it
when the body is under stress
Three forms of stress
Structural, emotional or spiritual. Any of these types of
stress can deplete the body's nutrients and lead to disease (dis
- ease), that is, a lack of "ease" in the body. That can be one
definition of disease. And, in fact, many recent studies
indicate the importance of stress with relation to disease.
Supplementing L-Glutamine can benefit immune response.
Glut
amine is an important component of many of the proteins in
human white cells. Ensuring the body has adequate levels of
glutamine at its disposal may also help it to maintain its
levels of immune cells.
