Basic Functions: Muscle growth and Recovery.

Glutamine is the most abundant single amino acid in the blood and in the intracellular free amino acid pool. Glutamine has become ever more prominent as studies reveal its unique contribution to

 
Muscle Growth: Glutamine comprises of 61% of the amino acid pool in the skeletal muscle. Its unique structure, containing two nitrogen side chains, consists of 19% nitrogen – making is the primary transporter of nitrogen into the muscle cell.

 
Anti-Catabolic: The rigors of training “leak” nitrogen-carrying glutamine from muscle tissue. This fall in glutamine is catabolic to muscle tissue. Supplementing with glutamine spares free glutamine in muscle tissue, which counteracts the fall in muscle protein synthesis, and improves nitrogen balance.

Elevates Growth Hormone (GH): GH increases uptake of glucose and amino acids, activates muscle protein synthesis, suppression of catabolism, and utilisation of body fat for energy. Since the benefits of supplementing with Glutamine are plainly evident,

AST decided to produce a pure pharmaceutical grade “Micronised” L-Glutamine that will not only benefit your training, but just may be your missing link in assisting new muscle growth.
