HOW GLUTAMINE WORKS IN THE BODY? ~ WHEY PROTEIN SUPPLEMENT

Getting The Facts Straight On Glutamine

Most people who are heavily involved in fitness and bodybuilding have at least heard of glutamine at one point or another, and many have found it to be a very beneficial supplement to add to their training regime.

Glutamine is also the non-essential amino acid that occurs most frequently in the body and the only amino acid that will cross the blood-brain barrier. In the body, glutamine can be found in the circulating blood or in the stored muscles, and will really be needed whenever you are in a state of illness or have a severe injury.

Being that glutamine is one of the more predominant amino acids in the body, it plays many important roles, some of which will have a direct impact on the results you see from your training program.

The first big role, as touched upon briefly above, is that glutamine acts as a substrate for DNA synthesis. This literally means that without glutamine being present in the body, your body would not be able to manufacture many of the cells it needs on a daily basis.

DNA Synthesis
DNA synthesis is the process of copying a double-stranded DNA molecule to form two double-stranded molecules. The process of DNA synthesis is a fundamental process used by all living organisms as it is the basis for biological inheritance.

Glutamine is also involved in the protein synthesis process, so after each workout after you've broken down muscle tissue, it will help to rebuild this muscle back, growing stronger (and larger if you're in a calorie surplus) in the process.
