It is the most abundant amino acid in the body and is highly concentrated in the muscles. Schwartz Laboratories uses only the highest grade Glutamine available.Why Do I Need Glutamine?If you are training hard, and are interested in gaining strength, stamina, and size, then Glutamine is for you. Since Glutamine plays such a major role in muscle recovery and muscle growth, it is very important to make it readily available to the body and muscles.To better understand the bodies need for Glutamine, it is important to remember how the body builds muscle. Our bodies do not build muscle during our workouts, in fact, they begin to breakdown protein (catabolism) during exercise or any stress to the body. The more intense the workout, the more Glutamine and other amino acids are pulled from the muscles. Now, if we supplement with Glutamine, we “replenish” what was lost, and our body is more efficient at recovery and growth. In addition, when Glutamine is in ample supply for muscle needs, other body systems (immune) can perform their necessary functions with no problems or deficiencies.How Do I Use Glutamine?Take twice per day: 5-10 grams per serving. The ideal time to take Glutamine is after workouts and before bed, times when muscle tissue is undergoing repair and/or recuperation.Note: Those having trouble gaining lean mass or on very restricted diets may consider 1 additional 5-10 gram serving per day.Supplement FactsServing Size: 10g (approximately 1 tbsp.)
