GL3
"Did You Know That Glutamine is Solely Responsible For Over 35% of The
Nitrogen That Enters The Muscle?"
Product
Information
GL3, 2-Aminoglutaramic Acid, is a pure L-Glutamine
supplement in crystalline powder form. Glutamine has become more prominent
as new studies reveal its unique contribution to protein synthesis (muscle
growth), anti-proteolytic (prevents muscle tissue breakdown) functions and
growth hormone elevating effects.
Glutamine provides a critical link in muscle metabolism not shared by
any other single amino acid, and GL3 makes utilizing glutamine a realistic
and effective endeavor. GL3 is pure, pharmaceutical grade L-Glutamine in
an odourless and tasteless powder.
Glutamine is the most abundant single amino acid in the blood and in
the intracellular free amino acid pool (most abundant amino acid in muscle
tissue). Glutamine represents over 63% of the amino acid content in the
amino acid pool of muscle tissue. Glutamine’s unique structure, containing
two nitrogen side chains, consists of 19% nitrogen - making it the primary
transporter of nitrogen into the muscle cell. In fact, glutamine alone is
responsible for 35% of the nitrogen that gets into the muscle cell.
Glutamine literally drives muscle building nitrogen into the muscle cell
where it is synthesized for growth.
Glutamine concentrations fall markedly after training and remain low
until complete recovery. What this means is, the very rigors of weight
training "leak" nitrogen carrying glutamine from muscle tissue. This fall
in glutamine is catabolic to muscle tissue - "The Training Paradox".
Supplementing with glutamine spares free glutamine in muscle tissue,
counteracts the fall in muscle protein synthesis, and improves nitrogen
balance. Glutamine overcomes "The Training Paradox".
You train with weights to build muscle. The more intensely you train,
and the heavier the overload you subject your muscles to, the greater the
growth response will be.
Glutamine is a key factor in muscle growth, and controlling the
"skeletal muscle/whole body glutamine gradient" is critical in maintaining
and building muscle tissue. The higher the muscle glutamine levels you can
maintain, the less chance you have of falling into catabolism and the
faster muscle will grow. But now there is more . . .
We all know growth hormone is an important anabolic hormone. The most
important anabolic hormone! It regulates the metabolic processes
(including protein synthesis) in almost all tissues throughout the human
lifespan. Growth hormone provokes several anabolic actions on skeletal
muscle: the uptake of glucose and amino acids, activation of muscle
protein synthesis, suppression of muscle protein catabolism, and the
utilization of body fat for energy.
Now for the exciting news - In a recent release of the prestigious
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the results of a study on
glutamine revealed that a single 2 gram oral dose of glutamine elevated
circulating growth hormone levels by over 430%! That’s right - 430%! With
GL3 you’ll be able to effortlessly increase your growth hormone levels by
over 430%!
By keeping a consistently high level of circulating growth hormone, you
are able to combat the catabolic effects of weight training, harness the
anabolic activity of increased glucose and amino acid uptake, improve
whole body nitrogen retention, and increase lean tissue protein accrual.
Supplementing with GL3 L-Glutamine may just be the most effective way of
assisting new muscle growth!
Intense training and exercise puts greater demands on your body's need
for Glutamine - making it a conditionally essential amino acid.
New Micronized GL3 L-Glutamine represents a leap forward in Glutamine
supplementation. GL3 uses a state-of-the-art Particle Micronization
Technology (PMTTM). Each tiny particle of GL3 is 20 times
smaller than regular Glutamine powder. This allows for ultra-fast
absorption and utilization.
Glutamine is the most common amino acid in the body and is key to the
metabolism and maintenance of muscle tissue. Glutamine is also the highest
concentrated amino acid in the muscle cell and acts as a primary shuttle
for nitrogen from the blood stream to inside the muscle cell.
Glutamine has a multifaceted role in human nutrition and is essential
for the support of muscle tissue.
