Ultra Pure Glutamine Powder provides 400 Grams of Pure L-Glutamine. Glutamine has anti-catabolic effects and can help preserve muscle!

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, comprising more than 60% of the free amino acid pool in skeletal muscle and more than 20% of total circulating amino acids. This conditionally essential amino acid is extremely important in overall health, athletics and in building and maintaining muscle.

For example, hormones destructive to muscle and brain tissue such as cortisol are released at times of stress and increase the demand for free glutamine. And, during conditions of calorie restriction or dieting glutamine and BCAA’s act to stave off catabolic hormones and prevent muscle wasting. The majority of nitrogen lost from calorie restriction and dieting occurs when levels of glutamine in the body are insufficient.

Therefore, glutamine supplementation can be used to reverse this condition by promoting nitrogen retention and preventing muscle loss and immune system down regulation. Supplementation of this amino acid can also markedly improve testosterone to cortisol ratios and thus, potentially increase muscle mass. Additionally, glutamine can also increase anabolism (muscle building) by increasing muscle cell volume.

Just two grams of glutamine has been shown in research studies to increase growth hormone levels by over 400% and also repair and maintain the integrity of the intestines and even have a 92% cure rate of ulcers within four weeks of use.

I take 2 shots of LG5 PRO™ per day. Right after training and before bed. It speeds up my recovery after a hard day’s training and it gives me a great GH boost when I use it before bed.

It’s truly one of THE most important bodybuilding compounds you can take. In fact, you should treat it as seriously as your favorite protein powder! Yes, Glutamine really IS that important!

1. Glutamine is one of the most utilized amino acid in muscle tissue so you know it must be critical to muscle function and growth!
2. Glutamine’s molecular structure has two nitrogen atoms making it a powerful nitrogen shuttle to fuel muscle both during and after training for faster recovery and muscle growth.
3. Glutamine is creatine sparing, meaning it literally saves creatine from being degraded.
4. Glutamine is hugely anti-catabolic because it puts a clamp on cortisol… every bodybuilder’s
5. worst enemy! Glutamine is a major “cell volumizer” like creatine and really blows you up while training.
